Seems pretty decent. at least they went to Jeff cup

And they lost..

you win games and lose games. The fact that they got accepted to Jeff cup is big. sounds like your DD/DS never been to one.

To add more info, 2014G is ranked 12 out of 24 regular season.

gotsport rankings are garbage and no one cares where U-little teams are ranked. They are supposed to be developing players not worrying about wins.

People make this argument a lot, but winning can be a measure of development. A team consistently winning 7-0 as an example is usually indicative of one team having better development. I have never seen a club with great development lose a lot of games consistently. Maybe at the really young ages but not after age 10/11. At that point losses are def attributed to a lack of development or poor coaching.

Out of almost 60 teams across boys and girls, that doesn't seem all that crazy.

Not a single parent coach at my player's club with similar number of teams.

What club?

not really when you're a top team. It'd be embarrassing being a pre ECNL team and not going.

Why can't they just hire real coaches with their buckets of money?

Around 8 teams people on here happened to know about so there are likely more.
If you are paying for a professional coach and a parent rolls up in August, you don't really care that only 16.5% of Valor teams have parent coaches.
There should be zero parent coaches with their own kid on the team. Its so unprofessional.

Name all these coaches since you're so sure of it.

Yeah I would love to know what "a whole bunch is?"

It was a backup for us as my dd made a team in a better location for us, but also I read on here real mixed reviews for the coach from GFR parents. Do a search on here for "Stevie Alabi" and you can read the pros and cons.

He’s listed as Israel Alabi on the website.

Right. Its a nickname. He always went by Stevie at his previous clubs.

He’s a good coach. I think his own kid plays on Valor. I wonder if that’s the reason he will now be coaching boys. He’s qualified and is one of the coaches that went to Barcelona

He coaches one boys and one girls team now, and will again next year. His son is not on his team. He is older I think.

One older, one younger. But keeps it professional and not on a team he coaches.

Its amusing how much you all are getting wrong here. For example, 2 kids? Try three. Don’t get your intel from this forum. Go to practice and talk with parents. I’ll fill you in then.

Why would anyone go to practice to ask you how many kids does the coach have? We’re saying here that he’s a good coach and has his own kids on Valor. He’s not coaching any of them, so even if he’s got 10 kids, it doesn’t matter
