Ya, agree, not a Brave parent. There is no Brave parent sitting and gloating over a beer right now given how the rosters are turning out.

I guess he never said assistant. ha ha.
CW is a relic. His reputation was build when there was only Mclean and FCV and they had all the talent but the scene has changed. See Bill Belichick.
Mclean gave up its full ECNL membership for a 1/3 membership when it didn't need to for the girls, only the boys were at risk. So Mclean you made your bed and now it is time for new coaches to take over. You let the fox into the henhouse.
Word is that CW might be a nice guy but assertive is not his thing and its about 4 years too late to ride off into the sunset.
Back to my beer.
Don’t think this is a Brave parent. At least not 2011.

Dude give it a rest. Given the track record of Brave and the ever evolving landscapte this thing is going to last 2-3 before something else happens and everything changes again.

Hey hotshot, ECNL/GA only last 6 years, so try that as $3500*6=$21k plus time & travel. If you're going to make a point, at least use real numbers.
OK, real numbers:
U5-8: Fall and Spring rec seasons, each year
4 x $250 = $1000
U9-12: Travel seasons, uniform, team fees, a few weekend tourneys worth of travel expense, each year
4 x $3500 = $14,000
U13-18: ECNL seasons, uniform, team fees, 10 weekend tourneys/showcases/fixtures worth of travel expenses, each year
6 x $10,000 = $60,000
$75K just for the teams... And not including all the camps, private training, and co-pays for therapy (both physical and mental)
They’ll also spend $10,000 for a family vacation every year. What’s your point? Kids are expensive

Have they posted the team selections for some age groups? How do you know there are weird choices?

There was better outside talent at the tryouts that need to be selected over bubble players. I hope this is not true and it's merit based so folks don't have to switch clubs next year when the team stinks due to this.

They haven't played one game yet and the haters are already furiously typing out their lame opinions. There sure is a lot of interest in a supposedly bad club.

Wow - they really screwed up on some of the lower level girls teams. Remind me - can they lose ECNL if the girls don’t improve their records? If so, they are going to be back in this same place in 2-3 years.
