Ma6be ASA doesn't have any other options and doesn't attract good coaches.

He only became the coach after the previous coach left mid season for IMG in March. He “inherited them” and was not responsible to collecting the talent or their previously good record. Once he started coaching them in March, they suddenly started losing. The DCU offers had already gone out before he became the new coach. He had only been the coach from March 2026 to May.

Get the actual story straight. The coach is a nice person but not a good coach and definitely not an MLS Next level coach. But ASA just keeps him there, because, who knows why.

2010 coach was the 2012 coach. 2012 have lost half their team to DCU and the other half does not like the 2010 coach.

Figures since they've been ignoring the prior U16 (2010s) coaching for years and are just waiting for them to age out.

ASA seems pleased with the results and development of the 2010 team and will retain the same coach for a third straight year.

For 2025-2026 the team won 4 games, lost 15, tied 3. No one is pleased with that.

That 2010 team is not the same group of kids from a few years back. Kids have left in the last few years due to bad coaching. And more are planning on leaving. So, no, ASA is not pleased with development; they just don’t care enough. They figure there are enough kids out there who want the MLSNext badge and will ignore everything else.

I’m one of those people, and my only dog in the fight is as an Alexandria taxpayer - could not care less about the soccer as my kids are adults (who never played soccer).

So why are you even in this forum? You do realize this forum is about soccer right?

Right - and ASA is a soccer non-profit…. So about soccer.

You are a strange person. Losing my faith in the types of folks that come to this forum haha

Hopefully that means they finally hired a boys academy director.

I see they have a Girls Academy Director and an Academy Director. Not sure the difference between the 2.
