If parents of players who have received and accepted offers from FCV have not otherwise had their questions answered by FCV staff in a satisfactory manner they are welcome to reach out to either their individual coach or FCV administration directly.
The nature of securing fields is fluid for most clubs across the Northern Virginia region due to the processes in place for requesting and assigning public fields for use. At this time most clubs do not have certainty regarding the exact fields where their teams will be practicing.
Both current and past FCV parents, players, and coaches are welcome to contact FCV with any questions they have about FCV. FCV is very excited to welcome several new coaches to the FCV organization next season and look forward to serving our core mission to focus on our players and their long term successes both on and off the pitch.
Maybe for the lower level teams across the ECNL/GA clubs in the area, but the top teams at all the other clubs have permanent/turf homes. Just not FCV.
There is no way the “where are the fields” troll on this board has a daughter on a GA team, so they are in the same boat as parents of lower team players at many (most?) clubs who also don’t know with certainty where their practices will be months before the season starts. Parents of GA players have either accepted the uncertainty (even if it’s unusual for ECNL/GA teams) or moved to other clubs.
+100 i think the field troll is a current FCV parent but won't be an FCV parent next season (they've already accepted an offer somewhere else)
Problem is you've just described 90% of us FCV parents.....
And the majority of us left over the uncertainty of fields.
It is more than one person looking for answers on the fields.
I feel sorry for all the outsiders who joined fcv not knowing the field situation.
I wouldn't say a majority left over the uncertainty of the fields...I think a majority left due to the uncertainty of the coaching staff (5~6 coaches quit mid season and the main 2 had to be begged to stay for the first 1/2 of the spring season) and how FCV handled it which left all the families scrambling. Then a couple players per team started leaving and that started the mass exodus because no one wanted to be left behind on a sinking ship and it took FCV forever to announce replacements, coaches, plans to finish out the spring season. If FCV wasn't able to finish out the spring season why would we stick around for the fall? There was a point in Jan/Feb where it legit looked like we weren't going to finish out the spring season.
That is why people left, i don't think anyone made their choice because of fields, if they did their priorities are messed up.
