McLean leaving FVU

[Anonymous]

Valor making a power play to kick out some old McLean coaches. Their fields would be vital. No one wants to drive out to Nike Park.

This is such nonsense. Valor doesn't have any power to make plays.

Valor doesn't have any field permits in its name. They play on rec league permits. They can't bring any field space to the table. CYA isn't going to let another org use their fields.

Is this site anonymous? I read somewhere that all the coaches know who the parents are on here commenting.

Call it what you want, but not having to deal with b.s. alliances sounds like a win to me in the long run for McLean.

Honestly, that "alliance" was frustrating for McLean. MV controlled who gets in and LO (MV was her mentor) was going to rubber stamp whatever he wanted. Thus, VYS got the lions share of slots undeservedly. I would have done the same if I were McLean's management... staying in FVU was a losing battle. Any new member of FVU better have more authority to deal with this control.

Sorry your MYS girl didn’t make FVU last year, but you are wrong. For 2012, VYS beat both MYS and BRYC twice in the U12 year, so “undeservedly” doesn’t really stand up. Also, there is only one more VYS than MYS former player on the FVU roster - again, hardly the “lions share.” For 2011, even though LO had been the 2011 coach at BRAVE, about 2/3 of the team comes from old Union. Both teams have worked hard to come together this year as FVU — it’s petty parents on the outside trying to sow discord.

Everyone knows the VYS feeder to FVU is horrible. We’ll see how the 2013 does. If they get the big numbers in FVU again they should rename FVU to MVU after MV.

What on earth are you talking about? Multiple 2010 FVU girls that are in pool for the USWNT came through Brave / VYS.

Have NEVER seen a player from Vienna where I thought, "Man, she's really good!" You won't like this but it's honest.

I have seen VYS parents yapping and crap talking amongst themselves before the game until it's 4-0 at half. Then they just sat there quietly waiting to go home. We haven't played VYS itself for a few years. They are beneath us.

Before, you belittle my kid (the usual m.o. around this place) she is a good player, on a top team and if your kid is in the same, or similar, age group your kid knows about her as do the coaches.

I guess the player who is practicing with Gotham FC as a 2009 player or the leading scorer for the vaunted Arl 2011 team aren’t good players. They both came up through Vienna. But please tell us more about your famous u12 player known far and wide.

Outliers everywhere, Chachi. My point is, VYS is good for little kids. I've seen more VYS kids sucking down ice cream before matches or doing tik toks. . It's a nice little community club. Be happy about that.

As for practicing with Gotham, good for her. However, if you knew anything about that, in Europe kids are brought in all the time to academies and are there for a year or two then dropped. When she signs a contract that is what matters for her. It does nothing for you.
Odds are, she will not play in the NWSL. And as neither of those girls are your kids, I guess just boast about them to make you feel good about VYS.

I’m not the one going back and forth above, but the Arlington 2011 and VDA 2009 are both two strong Vienna players I was thinking of.

On top of that, the leading scorers and the GK for 2010 FVU are all three Vienna kids (and great ones at that).

I just don’t know how to react to someone saying they’ve never seen a great Vienna female player. All 5 of these players would start on any ECNL team in the area, and probably any ECNL team on the east coast.

What are you talking about? Any kid in the US National Team camp can hardly say one of these clubs really developed them as a player. All these players are doing an incredible amount of outside the club training with clinics, trainers, private coaches and fitness routines. It's laughable. We are at top brand team and I swear, the coaches just benefit from which talented and motivated families show up. This year our club's training has consisted of about 80% scrimmaging. The kids that are doing amazing things on the team learned none of those things at the club level. Heck, some of these kids have connections outside the club with USNT scouts. Clubs like Brave and Vienna Youth Soccer have little to do with it other than providing a platform to play.

Not a Vienna parent. But will say this pretty much describes every club in the area.

Except McLean girls, we develop our own talent and are the best in the state, if not the country.

What’s your point other than creepily discussing specific children on an anonymous forum?

Failing to see what’s creepy about celebrating athletes’ success. All of this is posted on the clubs’ public social media, and one of the players even has an entire web page on her story.
