Heard 6, and there beat girl is likely going to an ECNL club

Confirm 6? Not a chance. 3 I believe. 6 is wishful thinking of parents looking to have their kids replace players on the team.

It sounds like the standard Valor practice is to add players from outside of the club to the open gold slots, so the white and black parents shouldn't get their hopes up.

Valor can't get new kids to come to tryouts, to think they are replacing top team kids from outside the club must be an april fools joke.

What are you talking about about? They have such a deep pool of rec kids this is laughable. They are Loudoun levels of pipeline kids to replace players that leave immediately after that kid takes off or another club.

They get new comers in the form of U8 and U9. Last year we had one non valor kid try out. ONE. Read it again....ONE Where is this deep pool of kids that want to spend 3k?

That's just a straight lie. 1. Base cost is not $3,000. 2. I know players in the u-10/11 and that's not accurate at all, which is when every club starts picking up new players. no one outsider joins u-8/9. That's literally just academy kids being placed on teams. All the clubs do it that way. Most clubs don't even hold real tryouts at those ages.

You clearly are not in the age groups I know about....

Their parents talk to us on the sidelines to find out whether we like the coach or not, how the team plays, when and where we practice and that kind of thing. Maybe every age group is not this way, but it has been my observation. Last year both of my kids had new players from other clubs join the White and Gold teams in their age groups. One of them does not have a third team in the group and the other one, I honestly don't know. I will say that we are very happy with our coaches.

This. I know many already signed up to come out for IDs and tryouts at Valor. If you are in southern loudoun or Western Fairfax your options are limited to not drive 30+ minutes to bigger club's practices, which is a big factor for busy parents. Add in tons of good players that get stuck on lower teams with no upward mobility at big clubs why would they not look to move closer to home?

Valor 11 v 11 teams may have three teams on a full field. U12 and younger generally have 3-4 teams. That means half of their game field for practice. One of the younger boys teams has five teams and they all practice together but otherwise it is no more than four teams in the younger groups. I have younger and older players at Valor. They do tell coaches that training on unpopular nights can mean more field space, and that Thursdays are very popular. I would assume that is the case anywhere. They also get 90 minute sessions which I know is not the case everywhere- the "new players from outside" were happily surprised about that last year.
