Obviously meant not sacrificing quality over quantity. What's wrong with following a European model for the club? Building a program takes years. You can't expect them to have the top talent from day 1 but they can build their program to develop top talent over the years. Your trying to compare an established program to one that's been around for only a few years. |
I hope your kid getting cut made you realize they aren't as talented as you thought. |
Academies work because they have professional clubs attached to them. VRSC is just one of many soccer clubs in NOVA and not a particularly successful one. |
What other NOVA clubs started at the sametime as VRSC? |
Right?! Name another, they probably aren't as successful either... |
The people are eager to get a description and breakdown in exactly what is successful about them. Buying a spot in a league because you’re rich af isn’t a valid metric. |
Comparing VRSC's success to the success of well established clubs isn't a valid metric either. |
Why not? They are competing for the same players as established clubs |
How do you not understand this logic? Do you work at Boeing? |
100% |
VRSC setting up a direct pathway to Spirit bypassing college soccer. This is the EU model. This will take time but will be more successful than the ecnl model over the long run. |
You do realize that everyone has a direct path to spirit now? There isn’t a draft anymore. |
They are not competing for the same players. There are parents like yourself who would never let their kid join a new club. Parents like yourself who need a club to prove their worthiness to have your kid play for them. Parents like yourself who don't take risk. You would rather have your kid be miserable on their current team than join a a new club that is out to build a reputation and establish themselves. So no, they are not competing for the same players. |
Speak for yourself. This is exactly why we left vda for msc. Why play for an established club and team because all of the kids on this team were miserable of winning and competing. We took a chance on a new club and couldn’t be happier. By our DD’s senior year, they may be decent assuming more ecnl players drop down and none of the good players leave. It’ll be great. |
Close but the problem here is that msc doesn’t own their own fields or have a coach from Europe bc everyone knows someone from Europe automatically makes them a better soccer coach bc it’s Europe. |
