Ok I’m not informing anyone of anything new here, if you’re from this area and follow soccer at all you know who Val is. I feel like I should just be on record acknowledging how great she is, at her age and what she’s achieved already is just fantastic. She’s the kid the current girls just starting club ball are going to be looking up to for the next couple decades. For those who don’t follow, or maybe live under a rock, Val is on the US U16 team, she’s the youngest player in the USL playing for the DC Power, who may also feature the future of GK for the Washington Spirit currently. She also recently got to play with Seattle Reign at the Coachella Valley Invitational, and then was set to complete a 2 week training with the club after. Normally I’d be waiting for June 15th to see who gets lucky enough to land her, but I wonder at this point if she may be the next of the teenage superstars to take up residence in the NWSL. For those of us here in Maryland, we are so proud of her, and can’t wait to see where she ends up next. For the other teams who get to run into her Bethesda SC 2010 team, good luck with that.
