I guess they are the weakest link. Good bye....

We are not with FCV, but the first post above is silly. FCV was one of the original 4 ECNL teams in the area. Yes, they were the only one that switched to DA, but they are a very successful club and ECNL would take them back in a second. Silly to suggest otherwise, even hypothetically.

Things change. Yes the club used to be well connected to ECNL, but that owner sold the club to one of his coaches and moved on. FCV does not have the facilities, size or other attributes that ECNL clubs need these days. FCV parents talk big game on DCUM but they are a small club. They cannot even field certain age groups. If they did get ECNL, nobody in their right mind would pick them over MYS, Loudoun, or VDA.

Man there are some people on here that are either stupid or think everyone else is stupid. First, Arlington isn’t leaving DA and will have full boys DA to match girls as the DCU move west opens up geography for Arlington as some previous posters said. Arlington is very well run and full of good teams. Second, FCV is still the best girls club in the DC Metro. It’s not even up for argument. Could that change? Of course. The above critique of FCV is wishful thinking and completely ignorant of reality. Sounds like a jilted Loudoun or VDA parent or a McLean coach. And lol, someone posted Loudoun’s standings in ECNL earlier - literally the worst of the ECNL and DA clubs top to bottom.

The standings for both boys and girls DA and ECNL are there for everyone to see.

Will see about Arlington leaving DA. Not sure where you get your information from but if there are rumors then there is fire and who knows. Unless you are someone that has credible knowledge, I wouldn't bet on anything. Things change quickly. Look what happened between Loudoun and FCV partnership and then Loudoun going ECNL. Just saying

There’s no way to know. Yes, there could be a smoking fire or it could be someone trying to start a crap storm.

I know plenty and I know that I know more than the poster that claims FCV is not strong enough for ECNL, can't compete for players and that no player would pick that club. With that comment, why should we believe anything that poster says about Arlington? Complete nonsense. At the elite level, they have the best girls teams in the area at every age group U13 and older. MYS 02s may be close to the 02/03 FCV team but that's it.

If FCV put all their 02s on the same team without playing them up, they would be the strongest 02 team in the area as well. Loudoun parents need to go check the ECNL standings it seems. Living in an alternate universe.

If goal is the play college soccer ECNL and DA is fine. Don't stress over it.

How is the recruiting battle going between FCV and Loudoun for 07s?

Try to find a team your child likes to play on where they will hopefully get significant playing time.

No clue and don't care as my DD isn't in that age group. However, if history is a guide, the best players won't be at Loudoun once they get to the U13 ages and ECNL and GDA come into play. Sorry Loudoun.

Well then history is apparently not a guide. FCV picked up zero from Loudoun 07. There have been some top team FCV 07 players coming to Loudoun tryouts.

So are you saying Loudoun 07s are going to do as well as the other Loudoun ECNL teams? If so, the bottom feeders in the standings better look out Loudoun 07 gunning for 8th or 9th place this time.

Girls side comment only.

FCV has traditionally been a very strong girls club, be it ECNL before or DA now. This is true for 2006 and older age groups too for the top tier teams (i.e. DA). However, the Loudoun 06 ECNL team beat a very good FCV 06 DA team earlier this season (WAGS tournament I believe) and the Loudoun 06 team has a decent ECNL record. In addition, they are picking up a few girls that were offered spots on FCV's DA 06 team and bringing in new coaches for that age group. Couple this with the fact that 07 age is pretty even b/n the two clubs and that FCV is having some internal strife and shortages amongst their coaching staff, it is not inconceivable to see Loudoun taking the talent and reputation lead for 06's and younger while the dominant FCV older teams age out / graduate. So if you're thinking of your talented kid joining an ECNL or DA club and live in Loudoun or western Fairfax or other close counties (Fauquier / Clarke) and have a middle schooler … the choice may not be as obvious as it once was. Like some of the other posters stated however, whatever is the best fit for your kid is the way to go as both programs will expose your kid to college scouts and both are traditionally solid, stable programs on the girls side of things.

You are completely out of touch. Loudoun 07s is the top team in VA and the team is intact for next year. They just beat Penn Fusion 07 DA Pre-Academy 3-1 last month.

No clue and don't care as my DD isn't in that age group. However, if history is a guide, the best players won't be at Loudoun once they get to the U13 ages and ECNL and GDA come into play. Sorry Loudoun.

Well then history is apparently not a guide. FCV picked up zero from Loudoun 07. There have been some top team FCV 07 players coming to Loudoun tryouts.

So are you saying Loudoun 07s are going to do as well as the other Loudoun ECNL teams? If so, the bottom feeders in the standings better look out Loudoun 07 gunning for 8th or 9th place this time.

You are completely out of touch. Loudoun 07s is the top team in VA and the team is intact for next year. They just beat Penn Fusion 07 DA Pre-Academy 3-1 last month.

I believe same story was said about Loudoun 01s 02s 03s 04s 05s and 06s at one point. That is THE point. Loudoun wins games at the youngest ages. Then either best players leave or everyone catches up to the long ball game that wins at U12 and younger.

Try to find a team your child likes to play on where they will hopefully get significant playing time.

I guess they are the weakest link. Good bye....

We are not with FCV, but the first post above is silly. FCV was one of the original 4 ECNL teams in the area. Yes, they were the only one that switched to DA, but they are a very successful club and ECNL would take them back in a second. Silly to suggest otherwise, even hypothetically.

Things change. Yes the club used to be well connected to ECNL, but that owner sold the club to one of his coaches and moved on. FCV does not have the facilities, size or other attributes that ECNL clubs need these days. FCV parents talk big game on DCUM but they are a small club. They cannot even field certain age groups. If they did get ECNL, nobody in their right mind would pick them over MYS, Loudoun, or VDA.

Man there are some people on here that are either stupid or think everyone else is stupid. First, Arlington isn’t leaving DA and will have full boys DA to match girls as the DCU move west opens up geography for Arlington as some previous posters said. Arlington is very well run and full of good teams. Second, FCV is still the best girls club in the DC Metro. It’s not even up for argument. Could that change? Of course. The above critique of FCV is wishful thinking and completely ignorant of reality. Sounds like a jilted Loudoun or VDA parent or a McLean coach. And lol, someone posted Loudoun’s standings in ECNL earlier - literally the worst of the ECNL and DA clubs top to bottom.

The standings for both boys and girls DA and ECNL are there for everyone to see.

Will see about Arlington leaving DA. Not sure where you get your information from but if there are rumors then there is fire and who knows. Unless you are someone that has credible knowledge, I wouldn't bet on anything. Things change quickly. Look what happened between Loudoun and FCV partnership and then Loudoun going ECNL. Just saying

I know plenty and I know that I know more than the poster that claims FCV is not strong enough for ECNL, can't compete for players and that no player would pick that club. With that comment, why should we believe anything that poster says about Arlington? Complete nonsense. At the elite level, they have the best girls teams in the area at every age group U13 and older. MYS 02s may be close to the 02/03 FCV team but that's it.

If FCV put all their 02s on the same team without playing them up, they would be the strongest 02 team in the area as well. Loudoun parents need to go check the ECNL standings it seems. Living in an alternate universe.

How is the recruiting battle going between FCV and Loudoun for 07s?

Loudoun 07 not losing any girls. 06 Girls picking up good players. Starting with 06 and going up, Loudoun will be very good. I already see great talent at the U9 level at Loudoun. FCV will try to poach as they older, but parents are now educated and now Loudoun has ECNL. New game in town and FCV will struggle getting players from Loudoun. They better go to another door if that is their plan.
