Did every other club announce all of their coaches?


Great answer! Love it when one of the big 3 (Cory, Dylan, and Paul) get on the thread.


Love how your automatic default answer for anything that isn’t critical of the club must come from an employee.
Please go join another club. I’m sure you think those clubs are utopian.

Can’t announce what you don’t have.

Valor’s problem is lack of a vision or philosophy in how to develop kids as they move from rec to travel, and very uneven quality of coaching.
SYA preValor was solid. Unfortunately all good coaches to include rec are gone

$300 and you have to DIY the jerseys? That is ballsy.

A bad rec program leads to a bad travel program... so TWO bad rec programs leads to Valor! Ha!


Yeah, that makes sense!

Whoa! They charge $250 for rec soccer?!? I know its been a while since we were a rec family but that seems high for an 8 week season with a volunteer coach.
