oh its coming next tryouts. Coaches seem to overlook how things are interconnected. Strong players that have carried teams that were overlooked take note of the politics and make adjustments down the road. Now that dust of movements have settled those little decisions have big ripples down the road once parents start talking. Parents that want whats best for their DCs will look to link w winning packages and throw their weight around come tryouts.

1000% things like this is like a rude awakening for parents who feel the coach will be fair and been loyal but overlooked

I'll read between the lines here. If you have a multiple offer kid, are you saying a parent can say, we will come to xyz instead of abc team if you recommend them to the regional camp?

What do you think happened at VDA?

, no
Who went to VDA for an ID center invite?

IYKYK, BP is a US Soccer talent scout and he came from FCV, now go look at the lists.

VDA was sending a lot of players to ID centers for BP and are continuing to do it. They also have more players in real ynt than anyone in DMV before BP came.

4 of those players listed are via FCV/BP for VDA. You mean to tell me that if BP didn't come VDA would have 4 other players?

This is how it works. How do you think BP got those players to follow him to VDA? It wasn't for his soccer development and coaching techniques. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement even if it isn't explicitly talked about.

Heard this through typical parent chatter as well. Doesn't mean it's true but generally you can find some truths in parent sideline chatter. Allegedly Pepperoni told those players he would not recommend them to YNT ID Center any longer if they did not follow to VDA.

VDA hosted last year at Howison Park, before BP. This is a tired argument. If you actually knew anything, you would know that youth coaches are not allowed to scout youth games now for us soccer. They scout professional and college games. College coaches scout youth games now.

Did they? They had one with actual minutes on the field with YNT in meaningful games as far as I know. The other two are from FCV (BP associated) and Union, aside from that there is a new to VDA player who has seen minutes on the YNT that is tied to BP via FCV.
