Overpriced Tract House Mom, why are you here every day for years posting to argue with what you think is just one troll? What drives you to monitor this thread so much?


I bet this is South Lakes mom going on about the price of homes off Fox Mill Rd and nearby areas. That's where homes in that area go to HS, and it's not the typical area Valor pulls from. Most of those kids will do GFR, Herndon, or Vienna depending on where they started for rec.

Trailer park Tammy, you are confusing me with the other posters you may have argued with over they years. I've only been back to this site since tryouts, and posting to this thread for the benefit of others to offset your lies. Don't worry, I'll lose interest again soon - probably next time my computer restarts and this browser tab is gone. Then you can have the thread all to yourself again to bash away 5 posts at a time every time you log in.

Valor is SYA and CYA. There are quite a few of us with $1.5 mil and up homes after this most recent run up in the area east of the Sully Highlands fields, where most practices are held. My kids when they played for Valor both only had academy once a week in Centreville, everything else was at Sully. Once you go east of Lawyers Rd and Fox Mill Rd you'll encounter a lot of $2 mil and up homes.


DP. When I think about someone who owns a $2 million home paying for Valor for multiple years, the phrase "more money than sense" comes to mind.

All in after tournaments and all fees, what we paid for Valor is about $400 a year off what we pay for our new club. We also got winter indoor soccer or futsal included in the Valor price (boy played indoor, girl's team did futsal at the CYA fieldhouse). The price seems comparable.
Now that they are older it's about the team and coaching - but those first few years it really didn't matter what club you played for. We went with convenience and where our kids' CYA rec friends were going to play. They had fun and that made them enjoy the game of soccer.


The intra-club futsal at the fieldhouse is a joke. I'd rather have paid extra to join a real futsal league, but Valor stopped doing that because they were getting absolutely spanked by real clubs.

My DC really enjoyed the futsal. To each their own.

Its really weird to post here every day to complain about someone else posting here every day. There's a real lack of self awareness there.

Agreed. The futsal was awful. Supervised scrimmaging for a game the kids don’t know how to play. We stopped going. Would rather pay less and have this optional. You can also pay extra to be a part of the competitive futsal team which wasn’t competitive and didn’t do any tournaments. One team had the parents organize attending a tournament or two. Valor didn’t send a coach.


I enjoyed watching the coaches stare at their phones watching football games during the futsal games.

I think they are just not going to post any more coaches, and pretend like its normal to only publicly list the first team coaches. That covers their butt until August if they are scrambling for coaches.

"Most" practices are not held there. They also
practice out at SYA sports park (Centreville), Braddock Park(Centreville), Centreville HS (Centreville) EC Lawrence(Centreville), Arrowhead (Centreville), Etc. Its primarily Centreville and Centreville is not an upscale housing market LOL!

Regardless a fool and his money....

I did two kids, 3 years a piece. Almost all our practices were at Sully except for the weekly academy practice at SYA sports park. Each kid may have had one season where one of their weekly practices was at Arrowhead, and now that you mention EC Lawrence I think we had a practice there when my oldest was the only one doing travel. Guess I was just lucky with field assignments.
Still plenty of 1.5 mil and up homes in 20171 and 22124 that are convenient to all those fields except SYA sports park. That one is annoying to get to after work.
