I couldn't believe how nice it was when we went. They had a bar! Wish it was closer.

A bar is the only way to tolerate some of these games.

Ok Valor cheerleader thats wrong and has already been established multiple times in this conversation as wrong.

Most clubs have most of their coaches listed. Stop gaslighting your customers. You are embarassing yourselves even more than usual at this point.

The only thing embarrassing is yourself... posting on an anonymous forum trying to bring down a youth club.

My DC is talented and can be first team at any club. Sure there are some larger/stronger clubs, but I chose to keep my son away from toxic environments with parents like yourself. My focus right now is for my DC to continue to grow and enjoy the game. Valor has been nothing but great to us. The Coaches are great and have always looked out for my DC... been given multiple opportunities guest playing up an age group. All his teammates are great kids that support each other and the families/parents within Valor are genuine nice people. Let us be happy with Valor. For some reason you have a grudge and I feel sorry for you.

i will agree parents have always been great. And my kid still has great friends from club. But if you kid is as good as you believe you are doing them a disservice by staying at valor

Proximity. I'm not driving 30+ minutes to another club at this age. Again, my focus is for my DC to have fun and enjoy the game with friends. There's a solid group of 4-5 kids on this team. Eventually we'll move on to Union.

FVU at most may grab a player from valor. And i hope your DC is a girl because boys side has a crap group of coaches and is terrible. Its the valor of ECNL.

Yeah there arent probably many if any other u-little gold team boys being allowed to guest play up. I would get your post removed.

I think I know who your son is just based on what you have shared here. (Might not want to put so many details if you want to stay anonymous.) If I am right, your son playing up is more of an indicator of the weakness in that older age group than anything else. Not saying your kid isn't good, but that is the reality. Just know that things can change quickly especially as they move out of the younger age groups. Try to talk to people with older kids who are or were at the club to get their perspective. Be prepared to give your son options after next year in case things go south. Don't blindly put your trust in any club but especially not Valor. I hope it works out for you all. I sure wish it had for us. But it became very clear when it was time to move on.

We went to an ID session at Raventek in early April and they told us all three coaches. It was too far for us unfortunately-they practice four times a week. Beautiful facility.

There are parents on this very site literally asking about when coaches will be identified for various clubs. You’re so fixated on Valor that you either ignorant to the fact that this is a regional problem or willfully lying about it.

Why are Valor staff such incredibly bad liars? You said "most clubs in the DMV don't have coaches listed."
That is FACTUALLY WRONG. A handful of clubs including Valor don't have coaches listed. The rest have almost all their coaches listed. I don't know why you keep trying to re-argue this and lie. At least do better with your lying. This is cringey.

As of Today. I didn't even check smaller clubs.
DCSC - Only lists top Coaches
BRYC - Only lists top Coaches
VSA - Not Listed
Arlington - Only lists top Coaches
Revolution - Not Listed
St. James - Not Listed
Prince William Courage - Not listed

BRYC and Revolution will be forthcoming with you if you go to an ID session/ask who the coaches will be for next year. I don't know about the others. Valor is being cagey because they do not have all their second teams figured out let alone third and below. I would encourage any parent looking at those other clubs and see what kind of response you get.

The only liar here is you. I never said “most clubs in DMV”. Not only are you a liar, you’re terrible at citing hilariously put up a direct quote of my post but then within your own text, you tried to quote something I never said. How uneducated and dumb can you be?

Then you claim it’s a factually wrong when it’s been pointed out numerous times that there are indeed clubs without full coaching slates. It’s also in this very site where parents are asking about when coaching slates will be announced. Do you not understand? Parents of other clubs are posting on this very site in other threads.

Then you turn to accusing anyone of refuting your claims of being Valor employees? I’m not defending Valor. I’m challenging your logic. If you don’t understand that, you are just a waste of oxygen.

Was Valor the only club posting a desperate help wanted hiring message on social media after their tryouts began???

PWSI has all of their coaches for next year listed right here on their site:
https://www.pwsi.org/couragestaff

VSA has some coaches listed on instagram. That's how we learned KL quit after having been assigned as a "lead coach"....

They also have an article about new staff:
https://prod-cms-files.demosphere-secure.com/_deimos/_public_files/017vup4yzkkr9/travel/VSA%20Announce%20the%20addition%20of%20new%20staff%20members%20and%20a%20new%20support%20system.pdf?CacheKey=1745617174

Revolution also posted some coaches on their instagram and has their first team coaches for MLS Next and GA on their website.

TSJ is always on the verge of implosion so no surprise there.

Regardless, lots and lots of Valor competitors have 80%+ of their coaches hired, so if people aren't happy getting the Valor mystery possibly a team parent coach in August, they should shop around.

Most of the complaints on here are regarding the 2nd-5th teams that are overcharged so your son's team can be a great experience. Just FYI in case you don't understand the economics of it.

If you are happy with Valor why are you posting here arguing about it? You are happy, sure, the first teams all had their coaches hired and publicized a month ago and by all accounts were assigned the handful of decent coaches.

Would you go ahead and accept the Valor team offer if Valor didn't have a coach hired and told you you would find out the secret identity of the coach in August? Just curious.
