Interesting. I’m an NVA parent and our team didn’t have any. I did hear some of the younger teams did, but I’ve also heard it’s because some parents are nervous their child won’t get a fair shot with the new coach at REV.

Please let your child compete. That’s how they grow. If you’re constantly worried before it even plays out, you’ll be jumping clubs every year.

Some players have NO interest in fighting for time on unnecessarily bloated rosters. [/quote]

21 players on a high school age roster isn’t bloated. [/quote]

Ha if only that was the case

lies u. No one wants to go there

Brought my son to an ID session at NVA as well, small world so we recognize the top players and was surprised at who was there. Whether there is real interest time will tell but don’t discount how many kids showed up.

so you are going to try to snatch one of the top spots. Good luck. Follow up w us.

No thanks, targeting MLS Next HG and VRSC doesn’t have that level of play yet

Have people forgotten that vr$c only has GA because they bought the spot and MLS 2 is a fake badge? This club is a collection of cuts and demoted players/coaches. Money is the motive.

Sure, Jan. The teams I follow they are no where near as poor performers as STJ and Loudoun.

Some people switch clubs, not because they are worried about competing, but maybe because they are worried about development.

My son has been "auditing" teams since mid fall of last year, because we've seen the level of development decrease, year over year. We have been fortunate to be able to experience practices at VDA, NVA, Arlington, Bethesda, Fairfax Union and McLean. The level, just in the everyday training at all of those clubs (for the most part) was several steps above VRSC. Sometimes people move clubs, not avoiding competition, but chasing a better environment for their kid.

We made calm, calculated choices all year for our kid, focusing on them as the consumer because that is the only real power we have. We are very relieved to be leaving VRSC and now are just worried how miserable the spring will be, with them knowing we have dipped. His coach seems to be taking "reports" of kids at other tryouts not well...

live life. Enjoy the moments while they are young and in the house. What will be will be so don't fret on the coaches.

Very much an astute assessment on the training and development. A lot has to do with coaching styles and club resources. Parents should research and ask questions before hitting on the accept button

U19 has more but the rest of the teams in high school are 20-21 player rosters.

Buyer beware. This club likes to bait and switch.

can you elaborate on bait and switch?

Very few of the high school age teams are made up of players that came from that specific club. There is actually very little development happening anywhere. They have constant practices and little internal improvement. The “best” coaches are recruiting. It’s the same in college by the way. It’s a survival of the fittest and this doesn’t necessarily mean the best player.

I always hear high school coaches talking about how great they are and some are constantly posing online.

the townhall meeting / presentation showed that all GA and Aspire girls should have had their review by the end of this week. Has anyone actually had one, yet?

You bounce around here a lot with your, "Sure, Jan." Why do you follow teams of minor teenage girls your daughter doesn't play for?

Is your conscience guilty? Are you telling us because you want to fight the "demons" inside yourself?

Wtf kind of comment is this? You need help and a better hobby than sitting on here all day everyday. If you check your team's league scores you're interested in underage kids? I'll give it to you this is the most deranged thing I've read on here in a long time.

If you haven’t had one, your dd has been cut.

Ignore that nonsense. Don't get wrapped up in the dates on some slide. Things happen that timelines to slip. Any PM can tell you that. Cold weather and shortened practices dont help. VRSC is one of the few clubs that do actual evaluations so be happy that they do them.

If you're honestly worried your DC won't stay on the top team, then look elsewhere; otherwise, let it play out. With a few exceptions, every current player will get rostered.

So - VRSC admin office can reply to this post but can't tell us in an official communication.

Darn right, jealous?

Sloshing the secret owner, who loves moms btw, is nothing to be proud about. Does it make you 7 or 8 on the trophy list, I lost count.
