Kids DON’T matter to NCap and neither do the parents- only $$$ matters

Prep, enjoy your demoted coach

Hard to say what the final impacts will be but I have to imagine some of the large contingent of 14 year olds about to age up out of Silver 1 are going to be looking at alternative options.

The tentative schedule I’ve seen for Gold 2 is M-F 5:00am - 6:45am at TY and S 6:00-8:00am at MU. I don’t know about dryland. So for the MU folks going to TY at 5:00 will be ok, but going home might not be.

Have you seen a tentative scheduled for Gold 1 at MU?

You don’t seem to understand that no one from MU is willing to drive to Tysons. Especially when being told that their kids don’t matter to NCAP

Sorry, I haven’t.

How many Arlington families are driving out of the way to go to a site for “written off” swimmers so NCAP can collect their dues. The fact that Spencer has provided zero information on how this change benefits Gold 2 swimmers it is clear that there is no plan for them.

You also know at the end of the day what is best for the club and its fastest swimmers is paramount, and that is their Gold 1 group. I’m sure when the Tysons equivalent of their Gold 1 group was moved to MU it was not a popular move with the Tyson’s parents either.

I’m guessing you do not swim at MU or live in Arlington. It’s a small swim community and people are pissed off.

The decision to blow up the MU site and risk losing all of Arlington to save the Tyson “head quarters” is perplexing.

This is a very poor business decision for NCAP

Exactly

We love NCAP MU but small chance I am going to drive my kids out to a subpar pool in Tysons and past sites for 4 other clubs on my way.

I don’t really care about Jeremy. I do care about the mess that NCAP has created for many families who were not looking for a new practice site and the lack of concrete information being provided.

How is it a step down though? You saying “period” isn’t really convincing. If he actually is being made a head coach in waiting at GP, he gets a chance to be at Prep and get familiar with how it’s run, get to know the other coaches and more importantly the athletes he will be coaching, etc. I’m not a Tysons or GP parent but I’m just not seeing how this is a step down if people are saying Tyson’s AM was their Gold 2 group. If his goal is to run Gold 1 and be a head site coach that wasn’t happening Tyson’s/MU with John and Chris already in place, so moving over to GP would make sense.
