I know its not a great option but with RTO we need better carpooling options and are thinking of downgrading clubs due to proximity. Does anyone have any experience with AK, the coach of the 2010 boys 2nd level team? When I googled nothing came up but college. Is this his first coaching job?

I hate to pay more for an inferior product, but 2 working parents commuting 5 days per week is limiting our choices.

Not for at least a month and then only the top 1-2 teams.

Yes. The smartest plan is to register to tryouts even if you are 100% not returning, so the coaches don't punish your player. Take your player to other tryouts (which all happen earlier than Valors), see what your options are, attend the Valor tryouts even if you aren't planning on returning and let them know as late as possible that you aren't coming back. The coaches ignore and don't play kids who they know aren't returning, and you paid for a full season of spring soccer.

I will! We are so out of this crap club. Boys 2013. Coach has never coached a soccer team before. i don't even think a rec team!

There's a reason Valor doesn't post all the coach bios on their site like regular clubs.

I assume you are talking about the 4th team coach? I know the other three have been there for several seasons.

One of the main themes of this thread is how poorly run the lower teams are so that tracks!

Union will be taking Valor's top 2 players at every age group for next year. Coaches will pick.

LOL

Which coach?

Why is everyone so vague?

Time will tell on how many stay vs leave. Our team had no plans on not coming back next year from what I've heard.

Girls side?
