The VSA practice fields are convenient for most people in the western half of the Valor area.

2014's. 3 teams 3 coaches named.


Okay, who were the coaches?


1st Team - Israel aka Stevie, aka “trust the process” of passing drills, scrimmaging, and playing in fear of making mistakes to the point of preferring to sit the bench or simply skipping games and events.

2nd Team - Cory Fick aka Girls Director responsible for hiring both Israel and Chris The division is such a mess he had to assign himself the 2nd team unless he’s simply a placeholder til he finds another coach. Only time will tell since he certainly wouldn’t tell a parent the truth. If the philosophy is, blow up the 14G division by driving the best players to Loudoun, VDA, or Revolution and then start over by promoting the 2nd team to the 1st, than Bravo Zulu. Selling the clout of the 1st team to parents on the current 2nd team should work. Hopefully there are enough new naive families coming in willing to accept playing on the second team since you know there’s no way in hell they’ll accept an offer from the 3rd team.

3rd Chris Rivera (same parent coach as now) If your a current player on the 3rd team and your fortunate enough that your dd still wants to play soccer another year, don’t worry, there should be plenty opportunities to move to the second team If not, then make sure your dd’s appt with her psychiatrist is right after training otherwise, simply go somewhere else. For the grace of the players and families, hopefully there isn’t a 3rd team next year.

Again, Bravo Zulu Valor. VDA here we come.


Oh man thanks for the breakdown. By VDA do you mean VSA? I thought VDA starts at U13? I know VSA feeds into it but I assume others too?

Coached one team this year.

If they introduced their coaches to the parents that were there, they presented themselves to their target audience.


Certainly more than the 2014 boys got.

EL is still around. He has been recruiting for U9 Girls and is a coach for the age group.


Wow, they had to be blindsided by his Kyle’s departure as he was listed as one of the lead coaches when they first released it. That’s not cool at all. I get that he’s looking out for himself, but leaving without even giving heads up…

I arrived early for the 2011 girls but saw that the 2014 girls coaches huddled the parents in attendance and introduced the coaches. I left and came back for the 2011 girls so I don’t know if they did the same for our group.

Did anyone go to 2017 boys tryout? Mine plays rec with some boys that were considering trying out, so just curious about turnout. I hope the age group isn’t too depleted for rec next year we do not want to do travel and definitely not Valor.
