neither do the herndon parents.

there is a new club admin who has self-expanded his own job and took over all the decision making on lots of things this season, including large increases in team fees for fewer tournaments and deciding what tournaments every team would play in.

the same guy is also listed online as the "Director" of this Villareal tournament. He does not work for Villareal.

people are drawing conclusions.


Is there anyone with influence who can speak up about what is going on? We are new so don’t feel comfortable. And would it even matter? How is this person being given so much power to make decisions that are literally detrimental to the players? Are they trying to run the club into the ground? I really don’t understand and am really frustrated that this is all coming up after we signed on. Everything seemed normal until recently. I hope someone from the club is reading this and realizes they are not going to be viable if they keep on this path. No one is going to continue paying money to let a greedy person tank their kids’ soccer development.




You are new. Welcome to the area. Majority of clubs in this area are fueled by greed. This is nothing new. Very few clubs and coaches care about development. They care about lining their pockets with your money.


But am sure as a sign of resistance you have stopped dropping your hard earned money on a club so your 1st team kid can play rec right?

Aren't "the st james msc", "manassas soccer club" and "manassas united" all the exact same club? The club who plays at that awful grass field next to 66?

Why is the entire Herndon club paying to prop up this tournament that Villareal teams opted out of....but only one Villareal team played in Herndon's own tournament. Its all weird.

When they realized there was no interest from other clubs, which would have been evident by late July-early Aug----they should have canceled the tournament and put teams into real tournaments.
