MV has teams in both the RCL and NPSL. Apparently MV parents enjoy paying RCL prices for NPSL level play so they can say my kids plays "premier."

This is happening. Both clubs officially announced it yesterday with a 17 page document. Promising a lot of changes, along with DA & ECNL teams in 2020. New name Valor.

Does the promise of DA/ECNL speak volumes? My kids play for a club that this new MV/KU conglomerate likely intends to compete with, for players...but I cannot for the life of me see why I'd even consider moving them.

Yep the email from the new technical director specifically mentioned in his arrival notes that he is there to improve the business model of maple valley soccer ! 😂 the only time things change is when the ass has fallen out of the bottom line ! To be fair though , everyone of you parents who’s kids play on a ‘premier’ teams 3/4/5 teams are just as much to blame for this mediocrity . Your kid should be playing select soccer and no higher .

Is there a current club that can "re-invent" themselves to compete with the big clubs (SU, Pac, WP, Eastside, XFire) that have DA and ECNL? This is still weird to me with Kent being one of the associations that is part of Pac.
You can say all of the fabulous things you want about your club, but until you have the players, and to a lesser extent coaches, you aren't going to be close to competing.

Pac swallowed up a few clubs to form what is now known as pac . Rec soccer is on its last legs , the elitest premier clubs are swallowing up all the decent select clubs to fatten up their piss poor roasters numbers and talent depth . What’s going to happen when there is no option but to play inferior premier soccer ? Soccer participation numbers are going to take a massive hit !
We are in it for the kids right .... right ??

Hands down Maple Valley is one of the best names around - are they losing that name with the merger?

Wait until you see the new logo. Looks like the EPL logo with the loon in a different direction.

Am I the only one hoping that they've named the lion?
I vote for Ludwig the Valorous Lion. 'Wiggy' as the ready-made nickname.

One Love should be the club motto.

All they're missing now are a few British ex-pats with strong accents. Success cannot be far behind.
