There are two Craigs. One is a really angry Scottish guy who screams at little girls. If its that one, run.

Any reviews of the boys U14 first team coach for next year, CH? It looks like he was the coach this year as well for the same team (2012 birth year).

Presumably every u8 and u9 kid at cya and sya magically made one of many all star teams. Just enter that cc number.
not a Valor hater-my kid plays Valor now on one of those low color teams everyone mocks here-but he did this tournament in the spring and it was pretty lame. There were 6 U8 boys all star teams all from sya and our rec league only had like 8 or 9 teams LOL. So, it was a little silly and clearly a "more the merrier/your cash is good here" situation. The "all star" coaches were all high school boys so I get why pp doesn't remember the name. I don't either! He was not that much to remember about. Sorry kid!

It was the Father’s Day Fiesta All Star Tournament. There was nothing wrong with the medals. We have one at home, and it looks nice. All Star is for rec teams, and the kids play like kids from rec... I am not sure what was everyone expecting .
This sounds like something a Valor guy would write. Just saying.
Which particular all star team did your kid play for in this tournament?
I’m not. My kid played in All
stars U9, three times. Loved it. Our team was from SYA, and our coach always nominated only the best kids. He never nominated his own kid. Other people might have a different experience, but we enjoyed All Stars.
Which team was he on when he won the medal?
I don’t remember anymore. All the SYA kids were divided into teams and coaches were assigned. I’m not sure if they had a name. Why does it matter? Again, maybe some people didn’t like the medals/didn’t get medals/their kids were not nominated, but for us it was fun and kid enjoyed it.
Lol! It was u9....are you saying they had multiple all star teams for u9 boys? How is that even an all star team?
Geez, why are you trying so hard to discredit this event? Are you upset that rec kids get a tournament and are excited to play? If you think you can do better, you’re more than welcome to organize your own event and you can most definitely do it for free.

Seems like your kid still didn’t make the cut even though, as you’re claiming, the bar was very low.
My kid is good and made the team. Not sure what else to tell you.
To everyone else - nobody is forcing you to participate. It’s optional, you can always decline.

It’s actually just the same parents on here making the moist noise and trying to start drama because they have nothing better to do. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet
200 pages of complaints is just a few parents?
I wouldn’t doubt it at all. It only takes a couple of unhinged people posting prolifically to really set the tone of a thread. You see it in the politics forum a lot. You can tell by writing style. I also think someone popping up very so often and saying “wow so many complaints must be really bad there” is the same poster. There are some crazy parents in this little neck of the woods. There is money but not a ton of athletic talent. Parents who weren’t high level athletes can’t seem to grasp that money doesn’t buy talent. You either got it or you don’t. If you keep signing your unathletic child up for Valor that’s on you. An athletic kid can make improvements even with crappy coaching just from repetition. If your kid hasn’t improved for several years on a lower Valor team it’s time to rethink travel soccer. Sorry the truth hurts.
Yeah not everyone is chronically online like some of you wack jobs. I live in the area. Things said on here are said out loud in the community not just at games/practices/anonymous message boards. Keep coping harder. I know a few Valor parents posting on here in defense of the club that are just as quick to talk crap about valor in private. My assumption is the only reason they're there is that they couldn't get on better teams elsewhere while masking it as their player just really loves the community and kids they play with will while never mentioning the actual club being good.
You know people in real life who admit they post on here defending Valor?
I thought this place was like Fight Club. The guy or gal who works for Valor won't even admit to it and pretends to be a parent.

I remember! This was the Valor event where the little rec kids got cheap plastic "medals" shaped like hats and the medals were breaking as the coaches were handing them out. Bizare!

Um, you might want to look in the mirror because you are clearly a wack job. The club is no different than any other club in the area, top team gets preferential treatment. Bottom teams are formed for those that want to play travel, but need improvements to move up. Parents are typical FFX parents in that some are chill, some think their kids are awesome, and some are just odd. I've had kids play for a few teams in the area and I can tell you they are all the same, but different. Meaning you will like things about Valor and hate others, just like at any other club. This means it's a great fit for some and not for others. This is about as honest of opinion you will get, if winning is your primary goal then go tryout for Arlington, Bethesda, etc.
Top teams is all relative. Just because you are on a top team at Valor doesn't mean you have top team talent.
