We get it. You don't love your experience with Valor. Move on to a different club if you're child is able to make any other clubs' teams instead of sitting in a Valor thread dumping on the whole club.

I don't even have a kid at Valor. I am just marveling at how many people seem to loathe it. They really do a good job pissing people off. No other club has this many complaints on here.

Why are you sitting in here 'marveling' then? You trolls are so unimaginative these days. The mass m same haters troll around revolution and valor conversations and I find that telling that they'd rather crap all over her clubs than focus on, let's be honest it's almost always LS, they own club and players.

You think parents from Loudoun soccer are posting fake stories on here about other clubs? Why? So even more kids try out for Loudoun and compete for their kid's spot?

LS parents and staff are notoriously vindictive and Petty. LOL.

Why do make questions? Work so slow for you today, eh? 🧌🧌🧌

3

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.

Um, it says right here. @$2800 + $300 for a uniform.

Lots of kids try out for Valor at U9 who didn't pay to participate in the Valor academy.

Thank you. Finally someone who does the research. Crazy concept.

Well you have to factor in that a couple of people may be posting repeatedly because they're really unhappy. This isn't like Yelp where you can see reviewers' usernames.

The unhappy parents I know at Valor are parents of kids on the lowest teams. They're in a bit of denial that maybe their kid doesn't have the athletic ability or work ethic for a higher team. Some of them are at another club that has played Valor's lowest team, and they have tied that team at least once. That tells me the kids who left Valor were in fact on the correct team.

This is based on what assessment? What Valor process do they incorporate and how does that specifically get vetted? How are kids placed and on what teams or do they just watch them play little? Please tell me, I’m curious?

Not on this board. Obviously. Except maybe the FCV guy with no fields.

I have never seen complaints about clubs get deleted on here unless they mention kids or coaches by name.

If these clubs had any integrity or true love of the game, they would have two teams per age group.

The 3rd-6th teams are just gross money grabs of kids who aren't truly good players.

Multiple people have posted here saying they switched clubs or bailed on tryouts and their kid made a much higher team than what they were offered at Valor.

Yes, both things can be true. It sounds like there is almost 100% turnover on their lower (3rd, 4th, 5th) teams every year due to bad coaching, bad teammates, bad training, lack of attention from the club, etc. Or just plain losing every game-that's no fun for kids. Then they fill up the lower teams with a fresh round of kids from rec programs or outside orgs. Then those teams have another year of bad coaching etc etc, then everyone leave again. If they have paying customers on the black team, and no space on the higher teams, they will gamble that those parents will pay for the black team again, and not move a kid up even if he is good enough to bump out a current higher player. That kid's family gets disgruntled, and goes and tries out and makes a higher team.

We love our ‘ULittle’ girls coach. He is very good with our daughter’s team. He genuinely seems to care about the girls as children and their progress as soccer players.
