They also make money off their side gig, the separate for-profit soccer camp company that they shovel Valor players and rec kids into. Its called Soccer Academy and it is the absolute worst soccer camp business in the area

Valor pays the director $500k yearly. I’m not sure your argument makes sense
. HA! that's funny, they get paid enough to support their families but they aren't clocking nearly that much. Stop stirring the pot.

The director IS Valor. He chooses how much to pay himself and his cronies. That doesn't mean his club provides good training or pays all of their inexperienced newbie "first job" coaches or parent coaches well.

No one's as good as the (former) MYS 2013s, so that's an odd comparison. But the 2014 and 2015 girls teams along with the 2016 boys teams are definitely attracting local talent. So clearly some outside families are looking at MYS as a destination club for these age groups. Long-term, that's probably a good sign for the girls side but unclear on the boys side since they don't have top MLS option.


2016 boys are not sticking around.


Says who?


They are there because of their coach, not the club.


Is the coach leaving?

Director doesn’t make anything close to that. Stop trolling.

You are talking about 9 year olds, right?
