I don’t think your comment is fair based on results. Please tell me how they scored 53 goals during league play without being able to pass and receive.

FYI, the best player on VDA 09s is a FCV import. Both CC and BP developed her and was with them from U12 and up.

If not, just be classy and say, meh, maybe you’re right. Good luck to you and your team. I shouldn’t tear down teenage girls.

Kinda like, I honestly hope VDA is successful this post season, proves me wrong and makes it back to Richmond. Congrats on all of your commits!

This is the most worn out (at least top 5, if not the most) overused "defence" here if a poster has nothing else. These kids want to be "high level", yeah?

If you want to be amongst the best, then expect criticism of how you play. Not everyone is equally good at everything. Some are naturally better at reading a game, think faster, or just physically better. Some work harder to be better.

It does not mean a kid isn't a wonderful human being. It doesn't mean they aren't trying their hardest. They may be a maths genius, or very talented musician or the like. They simply may not be as aren't as good as others in some area of life.

Statements like the bolded part hold people back. It doesn't help or make them better. It's a rec player's mentality. And, for what it's worth, there's nothing wrong with playing rec if that is what someone wants.

Hey, dummy, a parent said CC’s players can’t make a pass or receive a pass. That’s a little hateful isn’t it? Certainly not constructive criticism.

I could absolutely tear down ANY team in the DMV on DD’s age group or around it. That is the difference between me and others here. I choose not too. If someone wants to act like a coward anonymously, nothing wrong with proving them wrong and calling them out for their ignorant comment.

My DD plays on a Rev GA team (not coached by CC). Most of her teammates cannot make or receive a pass. I'm not sharing state secrets here, you can see for yourself 4 nights a week at RavenTek.

By the way, the girls who cannot make or receive a pass are fully aware that they cannot make or receive a pass. This is true not because anyone is telling them, but because they know what happens when the ball hits their feet (especially their weak foot) compared to what happens when it hits some of their teammates' feet. Most of their parents, however, think CC is going to make them the next Emily Fox.

Wrong. Not sure why you don’t understand CC does not coach any teams under U17. And trust me when I say parents know their kid is are not Superstars. Not a single parent thinks that. Not one. The 09 and 08 parents are mostly upset about how CC and the Club has done very little about recruitment. One Advisor quit and seemed more P2P while the new one came too late. While advocacy is not the most important part of recruitment, having a coach or Advisor that reaches out to schools and sells its players is a major boost. VRSC is the last place to be if you think your kid is a superstar or any Mid Atlantic South GA Club for that matter.

VRSC and GA as a whole is the place you want to be if your child does not see much playing time for ECNL clubs. If your kid is not a star in ECNL or on not a starter on a ECNL Finals caliber team, you should stop thinking about P4 now. Sure there are some good GA outliers but that is few and far between.

The parents should have been doing recruiting work on their own with their kid. It's up to the player to do the majority of the work. The club can assist, and relationships can help. But it should be up to the player to do much of the heavy lifting.

ECNL>GA. Some families are stuck with VRSC for various reasons and ECNL is not in the cards. Almost all players could not make VDA roster. Some families can't drive to Mclean or Arlington three or four days a week. And then you have tolls and traffic.

BP and AS have a major part in getting kids to good D1 schools. Can't tell me otherwise. Don't act like VDA and VRSC are on the same level when it comes to how much harder BP/AS advocate for players. It absolutely makes a difference. I know for a 100% fact. I would recommend VDA any minute of the day to up coming player families without hesitation.

the older vda teams had eyes on them and were solid BEFORE our savior BP showed up. Those kids worked hard and were talented pre BP. I will say he has a knack for identifying kids with “motion” / branding / attention and wooing them to VDA. Makes sense as there is less work to do when getting them in front of coaches. Pretty much a layup. While the kids prior club team falls apart. Pretty smart guy imo. 2 birds 1 stone.

BPs true teat will be the U16 and below. He picked up some fools gold from vrsc and instagram on a certain team and lost some talent w the younger teams. I think the age change will help in these situations. But im really curious to see if he can pull it off again and woo players from other clubs in the younger teams. He will be goated if so.

Will also be interesting to see if vrsc and vdas relationship continues down the road they had something going with the preseason college id thingy

I wonder if you are that crazy VDA parent I was talking about and not to be confused with the respectful ones. Sure the team was decent before BP but it would not be what it is now without both the USYNT FCV and Brave implants, the player that came from NVA and the other forward.

I actually thought it was great at the time. The team got hot when it needed too. That was the same year NVA had the best record in ECNL and got cold at the playoffs. Regardless, take away those players I mentioned as well as newer players and VDA finishes behind Arlington, if not Union as well.

the team was good and on the right path before BP showed up. Sorry not sorry he doesn’t get to claim glory for the older teams. It just doesn’t go down like that. Maybe at TSJ but not at VDA. Decent is an understatement. His true test will be with the younger teams. And clearly if he passes it wont be through development but through outside club acquisitions. VDA has always been the bar for talent in the region. His addition helps but please dont make it sound like the club needed saving. Thats disrespectful to the talent it already had.

Several international students coming in to play U.S. club? Is this a new Rev school deal? Is this like what happens at IMG? Get club exposure for taking college roster spots?

It said here before what Rev planned on doing in regard to adding new players in spring. You shouldn’t be surprised. The international component is interesting twist.

I actually thought it was great at the time. The team got hot when it needed too. That was the same year NVA had the best record in ECNL and got cold at the playoffs. Regardless, take away those players I mentioned as well as newer players and VDA finishes behind Arlington, if not Union as well.

the team was good and on the right path before BP showed up. Sorry not sorry he doesn’t get to claim glory for the older teams. It just doesn’t go down like that. Maybe at TSJ but not at VDA. Decent is an understatement. His true test will be with the younger teams. And clearly if he passes it wont be through development but through outside club acquisitions. VDA has always been the bar for talent in the region. His addition helps but please dont make it sound like the club needed saving. Thats disrespectful to the talent it already had.

How long has VDA been around again?

10 years or so

BP joined a top 20 club with great recruits and has kept things moving forward and recruited well. Doing a solid job.

When we first went to a Rev info session a couple years ago we got a full sales pitch and vision for the club. The IMG model was exactly what they mentioned as the vision. As far fetched as it sounded at the time, since then they have actually made some gains in that direction. The academic school, renovations of the facility, joined GA and MLSN, took over Loudoun United and Segra, added USL-W women’s team. Bringing in young international players to attend high school and then place them into US colleges and their pro teams might be a way to infuse the club with talent on the top teams. It works for IMG.

Perhaps. They have also told people this will be the #1 club on the Eastern Seaboard by the time of the World Cup. Has this happened? Is it close? Absolutely not, in any way.

What are they selling? Think about it? Come here. We are bringing foreign kids in who can't make it in their own country's academy system. BUT, we have no problem bringing them here (likely on your dollar) to take your daughter's place at the first opportunity. Why? To make money and to make the organization look better. So, local kids, and their families, who actually want to be here GFY.

I can't tell you how happy I am we have one foot out the door. Trust them all you want, ye suckers!!!!!
