What the history of this salary? There must’ve been a huge jump at some point in time.

I posted earlier about being annoyed that ASA basically forces its members to donate on the Alexandria Day of Givings so they can win awards for most donors, most donors in a certain time period, etc. These matches and awards from the city are taking away from legitimate, small charities in the city that are entirely volunteer run and would find any of those awards to be a windfall.

Thankfully my kids have all aged out of ASA, but as recently as 2 years ago, during one of these day of giving things, I saw the messages be crammed down our teams throats and saw these parents all donate. These are families where their kids have missed practice bc they didn’t have money for gas certain weeks. It’s disgusting to push for donations and receive discounts and grants from the city when a lot is being used to overpay the director.
Someone previously asked if he was worth it? I can’t say anything he does seems superior to what other local club directors do. The ASA tournaments are generally more of a disaster and poorly done than others.

Crying and futility are common occurrences here.


I am an Alexandrian that is not associated with ASA - I am curious from people who are soccer people, is this person worth this money, and whether soccer people think this is ludicrous like I do.
I can’t vote with my feet - but I can bring it up publicly and to the City as it certainly looks like he is overpaid by a lot.


Have a better idea, go start with the overpaid public employees that you do pay for and let the private companies who you don’t have to pay for manage themselves.

If a coach demands a high salary that means he or she is a good coach?

That is an ABSURD salary. Who decides on this ridiculous pay rate?

Well, ASA has a board of directors. Likely, they should have been doing something about this!!!
