If you are trying to assess the quality of the training and the environment ESPECIALLY at a club like MU that, at best, has soccer development as it's claimed primary focus, how can you not be watching the practices and games to make that assessment?

That is a serious question. You have a DD in the club and you don't know FIRSTHAND the quality of the training or watch the games to see HOW the team is playing (not the results)? And then you have an opinion as to how they are developing as players? Seriously?

It would be more honest for you to say, I have no firsthand idea how much development these girls are getting RELATIVE to the other options out there but my DD likes it so we are staying. That would be honest. How a club is run is a factor but at the elite level the quality of the training and the pace and quality of the development is much more important.

DP. I think what he is saying is that MU as a club hasn't existed long enough for you to have watched anything more than 1 game. Pre-season games had a lot of missing players and isn't reflective of the team's. They've only been in season since August, if you count pre-season. Which also had some missing players in some age groups if they were still going to ID camps.

So it's just mathematically impossible.

Mmmmm ok. MU isn’t just rebranded WSVA? Everything is better because of the entity structure?

Just stop it.

And there it is. Proof that it is about last year. That proves you do not know what you are talking about.

Lol. From the guy that thinks changing the name and one month of training changes everything. Ok.

Have a good one man. Hope it’s a great season for all your kids in whatever sports they all play. Bit of advice: always stay truly informed and don’t drink anyone’s kool aid because in 6 months things can change drastically. Cheerleading for a club equals poor decisions. Do what’s best for your child but be honest and always be open to frequent reassessment.

Not sure how I was cheerleading or drinking kool aid but okay. Your posts were misleading so I had to call them out. A lot has changed in the club's approach. It remains to be seen how it turns out but I am encouraged for my DD so far. If that's cheerleading then guess I will bear that burden. Bye bye.

Misleading? Sorry you feel that way. I find it hard to believe people without an agenda here would really think MU and WSVA are not one in the same after only one month of training and a name change in terms of this topic.

Yeah you are 100% misleading. Training is completely different in almost every way. Different activities, new coaches. You are just trolling the MU board. But MU parents have the agenda. Sure.

What new coaches? The coach from up North? He just arrived no? So who is being misleading? Becasue the others are the same. And I say that without disparagement. I actually think one of the MU GDA coaches is very very good, just in a bad situation. You can speculate who I am referring to if you like.

NP and MU parent. Agree that the main change is trimmed rosters (and a few new faces at the older age groups who seem be potential contributors). But disagree that none of them made any other rosters. Several had other offers across various age groups. Not all, but several (and as has been discussed ad nauseum here, several left to other DA/ECNL clubs.)

He didn’t say what you imply above, he said even though his DD is there he wasn’t qualified to make the assessment (i.e., “that claim”). And you, being an outsider certainly are not qualified. Perhaps you should focus more on reading comprehension.

The point was that each MU team has had 1 game so far. Most MU parents seen all of 1 game maybe 2. So when an outsider says their low assessment of the club is based on a handful of games and practices they are talking about last year - or they are lying. MU parents know FIRSTHAND that there have been many changes from last year in how MU practices and plays. Outsiders do not. No way they could know. They would have been seen lurking around the games and practices. Simple as that. Calling BS on that poster.
