Move on if you are that unhappy. The best revenge is beating their ass down the line.

"Revenge?" Really? That's the problem here, everyone seems to feel entitled to "revenge" for some kind of perceived wrongs committed against them. Just the principle of having any kind of "revenge" against a YOUTH SOCCER CLUB is asinine. No wonder the kids are struggling on the field and dropping out or perpetually unhappy with shitty attitudes: they have no mental toughness but a PROFOUND sense of entitlement.

Not the PP but there is nothing wrong with letting it play out on the field vs online sniping.

+100

My kid says he will 'show no mercy'. It ain't t my revenge to play out, but that little kid has been through so much shit if he feels the need to go kick them in the balls when he plays them in the next tournament--I'm not standing in his way.

Revenge=proving them wrong.

Like when my National player sibling didn't list his home club in his creds because they spent years fucking with him.

Doing well and exceeding in adversity is grit with a healthy dose of fuck you.

Entitled is when you don't train and don't put in the work and expect things to go your way.

Although "letting it play out on the field" puts all the pressure on a bunch of kids who didn't create the situation.

I suggest making the parents do sprints.

Will you elaborate? What direction is it heading and what is being done?

Travel team coaches were announced prior to sending out invite letters. That way parents can decide if they like a particular coach. That's an improvement.

This is a legitimate question. Also, what do you all think of the top teams playing in VPL?

What gets me though, is that all the butthurt here is no different from any butthurt in any club anywhere else, but VYS has its own thread devoted entirely to the butthurt. Are VYS parents just the MOST butthurtiest parents in all of NOVA and feel the need to express and divulge said butthurt in an open yet anonymous forum? As to warn everyone about the trials of VYS, and yet what it seems to be doing is warning everyone as to VYS's overly butthurt parents. Has VYS implemented a butthurt form on their website yet?

Best VYS post ever!

Several pages back I urged the VYS community to let this thread die but, to my delight, they just can't let it go.

VYS is a train wreck and this thread is testament to that.

I don't think VYS is a trainwreck at all, but some of the parents are, without a doubt. And like many keep pointing out: there are trainwreck crazies at every club.

How many of those other club train wreck crazies have a forum thread dedicated to their club's troubles? How many pages is this nonsense going on and none of your parents can just stop posting. ive suggested it, begged for it, but you are all so full of your first world soccer drama that you just can't help yourselves. You are, without a doubt, the worst.

Clean up your house, and it should start with telling your parents to just STFU online.

I do not think it would be helpful for Vienna or any other club to tell parents anything that suggests they plan to act as a censor and monitor online posting. It seems paranoid and vindictive. You seem like you are perhaps just not very familiar with the internet and how discussion boards work? Those of us who are are able to draw our own conclusions about which posters here are reliable narrators, and there seem to be several, including 19:01 from yesterday.

There are plenty of threads about other soccer clubs here, though NOVA in general seems to have more people posting and following DCUM than some of the other DC suburbs. Back in the great days when Potomac Soccer Wire had forums instead of the boring article comment format it moved to, you would have seen lots of posts bashing other clubs, including the Maryland ones. And McLean had a long and fascinating run on Fairfax Underground before the leadership changes that happened a year or so ago.

OK. How do we get YOU to STFU?

A lot of this thread has been productive. A lot has actually drifted onto other clubs. But nooooo ... YOU always have to come back and make it worse.

You want me to STFU? One of two ways. Let this thread die, or be positive about soccer and the process. The obsession and vile for a club that is trotted out here is crazy. Just leave the club. Don't go away mad, just go away. It is soccer, it isn't your mission to either save the club or to save people from joining a club.

There is a lot of positivity here.

Much of the negativity isn't from current VYS people. It's from a disgruntled former coach, a disgruntled former board member and the occasional departing parent. Why do you blame VYS and its parents for that?

Of course you are. The island of bitter, misfit VYS parents - oops, I mean, CYA - is the perfect place for someone who posts a seemingly endless complaint letter anonymously attacking good VYS people on this website. Now you can be around other red-faced, hypertensive soccer parents who like to scowl, stomp, and “grrrrr” to each other on CYA sidelines as a result of so many perceived slights and miscarriages of youth sports justice that were callously inflicted upon them by the big red VYS corporate machine. Angry, aggrieved soccer families of the world unite! Let's make youth soccer great again!

Maybe they just want out of VYS and don't want to drive far to a superior club like loudoun or bethesda... CYA has some good and bad eggs just like VYS. Why attack their club? Guess that is a board members job!

Don't let it die.
