You'll pay for all those amenities!


For the U-little ages, its substantially cheaper than Valor. Then its about even.


From Revolution's website:
U9 (2016) – U10 (2015) Club Fee: $2200 Team Fee: $370
U11 (2014) – U12 (2013) Club Fee: $2450 Team Fee: $410-$460
U13 (2012) – U19 (2006) Club Fee: $2850 Team Fee: $500-$650


Asking $2.5-3.5K to be trained by college guys with no experience nor licensing is a scam but also totally reasonable in the youth soccer business.


Says someone at a club with parents coaching teams? 🤡

Plus don't spout out easily disproven lies about other clubs. They don't hire college kids to coach their travel teams at Rev or any of the other local to Valor clubs that I've ever seen. Rev, Loudoun, FCV, VSA, Braddock, etc aren't hiring parents to coach teams either.


Someone already specified a Loudoun coach as being one who coached his own kid. That’s just one. I’m sure people can dig up more. But if you’re so convinced all the problems that Valor has is only happening at Valor, then go somewhere else.

Accuse others of lying while you consistently post lies.


Sure, one parent coach from 1 of the 5 clubs listed with over a hundred teams total-- you got me! Sorry, I haven't read through all 300 pages of posts on here. I have a life.

Point me in the direction of all these college kids coaching travel teams as well, please. I'll wait. Or, would you rather post some more pictures of yourself and your kid from social media doxing yourself?


That’s just one that someone happened to mention. I’m not going through 300 pages to try to prove you wrong either. If someone actually went out fact hunting, you will find problems in this club are common. I don’t know why you can’t understand this other than you are simply determined to hate this club. In that case, you win.

Exactly. Name one club that doesn't use a 2 year cycle. I doubt it, but I hope clubs are smart enough to coordinate the Q4 numbers with the age group below so we don't need to uniforms yet again next year.

The soccer orgs get a kickback from soccer.com.
The more their members spend on uniforms, the more "cash back" they get from soccer.com.
That's why.

We had to buy a whole new kit after only one year. What the same size for the new kit. At least we got to use that for two years.

They have had the same uniforms for the last two years, so people will definitely need to purchase new ones for next year.

This one's for the Valor Guy: Good for your club for not raising fees this year.

No mention of uniform cost yet. Are they changing uniforms?


Same price as last year? Surprising. They change uniforms every two years.
