They have no standards. Some of their lower teams are just coached by random parent. They also will take any player with a pulse willing to pay the fees, so at least its consistent.

That is completely untrue in regards to random parents coaching. Valors main issue is Ellis has not set any standard or expectations in the coaches. Meaning if a new coach takes over a new age group its like a reset. Training is not consistent, and game management is even worse. The club should have a uniform approach for development and playing style. The CYA merger really killed the progress SYA made.

Nonsense, I know very few people and there were several random unqualified parent rec coaches who became Valor coaches this year to coach their own kids team. They don't disclose that to the other parents and charge them like its a real coach. Usually the 4th or 5th teams in the age group. The 2012 worst team for boys and the 2011 worst team for girls were both random parent former rec coaches. Its hard to recruit travel coaches to coach a team that's basically worse than a rec team (most rec teams have a few good athletes/players).

Nah. I might have believed that statement a couple of years ago when FCV was beating GA teams 10-0 and their only real competition was strong ECNL teams. But that's not the case anymore.

At least in the Mid Atlantic GA FCV, has a harder time beating GA teams than decent ECNL teams. So either GA is getting stronger in the MA or ECNL is getting watered down weaker.

But true, if FCV goes away in the DMV, so does GA representation... at least for a while.

Yah ECNL is a big scam. Connections, networking, $$ are bringing recreational level players in front of colleges. Our team has a few committed players that show poor to zero IQ in the field. I am seeing coaches sabotaging some talented players cause they show up more than their favs.

People may find this ridiculous but dont realize the size of the egos on some of these coaches at these local ECNL clubs. They would rather sabotage than let a player shine over who they may have thought would pan out. Sounds crazy but I believe it.

see it first hand at nva. Coaches dont get the historicals on players… only to not realize and eventually accept the ones that are favs arent the best ones on the teams. Because they never were. True talent will shine regardless and normally does. Then the talent goes to another club to destroy their old team on the otherside of the pitch. It’s beautiful when it happens.

Also thank god for instagram and phones to tell the true stories. Its a great equalizer to counter narratives

FCV parents are in shock right now. 07s, 08s and 09s are now without a Head Coach. BP will have to cover every GA team until he hires another coach.

Well in reality guys like Terry Foley, Gus, Marvin, Corey & Dave built that program at FCV, but I’ll give you the rest.

Agreed. BP will be exposed unless he hires more top cover.

BP won’t be around. He’ll be announcing his new club soon.

Loudoun is hiring.

They are looking another CEO.

Good since the club has had nothing but issues since Dan Raben left and so many other great people who were good left shortly after his departure. Hopefully they can get their act together.

he’s out loving that cali weather. Was an awesome and fair coach for the 11reds… Loudoun is lucky coaches leave quietly. Coach T was another awesome coach that left for fcv. Bumped into her at a coffee shop… land she is loving the change w her new girls.

Had tons of girls leav to play at fcv n play up. Might see some more in the near future smh.
NVA has their work cut out for them recruiting wise. And it’s not on all the existing coaches shoulders

My DD was one of those girls who left LS for FCV because of the environment. Never looked back. Dan was one of her favorite coaches and actually cared about his players.
