All DA programs are required to practice on half a field 4 times a week too...

Spirit is a DA program, All DA head coaches must have A or B licenses.

Jenny would be qualified to be an assistant coach for Spirit DA.

Who is coaching McLean 07 ECNL next year?


Lol. Wrong


all Academy coaches are required to hold a U.S. Soccer “B” coaching license. https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2017/10/21/02/36/20171020-da-feat-five-things-about-the-development-academy

Because you believe your kid will get better training there, and benefit from a deeper coaching bench than McLean has.


Deeper coaching bench? Spirit coaches who need a decade to get players from different clubs to play together? You really think the level of instruction at spirit is superior to McLean? Wow. Can you send me a bottle of whatever you’re drinking?


I'm very interested to hear how the the exit of Drake and Harkes didn't affect the coaching bench depth. Please opine.


Because neither are any good?


Right now McLean has 4 ECNL coaches coaching 6 ECNL age groups. Out of those 4, 1 is new to the club this year (Jenny McMahon--USSF D license). They don't have any coaching bench depth to speak of.

Back to the original question even though the VDA/VSA/PWSI bashing is entertaining...

That's pretty interesting. PWSI has had pro players come through it's ranks and come back to coach on the girls program? or other pros come back to the area to coach girls at PWSI? Since prospective players should be considering the coaches, please let us know who they are and when and where they played professional. Does being a professional player mean they are great girls youth coaches?


I bet their websites have this information or you could email Tom Torres and set a tryout with spirit.


What does Tom Torres have to do with this? Pretend you are an adult for at least this portion of the discussion.

No overlap between

Coaching Staff lists ZERO professional playing experience and ZERO professional coaching experience.
2 former Richmond Strikers DA players are now coaches
