Even the diehards have to question this.

This is the most logical thing that has been said in this thread. By all accounts, the MD teams have been better run, and better positioned for success, than WSVA. MD announced last week the end of the Spirit affiliation and the move to Baltimore Armour. Given this fact (not rumor) about the MD teams, one has to ask why the VA teams would be treated differently by Spirit. Maybe Spirit told both MD and VA that Spirit was getting out of youth after the 19-20 season, and the MD team decided to make the break a year early?

Time will tell with the VA teams, but the MD teams are already split from Spirit for next year.

did they officially announce that?
I know its happening because the coaches have said it, but didnt see anything official.

If you mean an official announcement on the DA or Baltimore Armour website, then no, it has not been officially announced. But, as you said, the coaches have told the players and parents. If anyone doesn't believe it, come to the games this weekend at Evergreen and ask any of the MD parents.

If that's true, where is the official announcement? Why hasn't it been posted? That makes no sense either. Announcements like that go up online. Even the defunct airline WOW posted something on their main page.

its coming. And yes, its 100percent true.

If true, post the announcement. I'm not in denial. I'm simply unwilling to believe an anonymous poster on this forum when so many things posted here turned out to be garbage. I want real evidence. Any evidence. Baltimore Armous's website also has nothing to say.

I have no idea why the announcement is not yet on the site, and I don't really care whether you choose to believe me or not. I understand your skepticism, especially with the anti-Spirit people on this site. But I am also being sincere in telling you that, if you don't believe the couple MD posters on this thread, then come watch us play FCV on Saturday and ask any of the MD parents. WSVA has no DA games scheduled this weekend. Come see for yourself.

This is not an anti-Spirit troll job, but an honest attempt by a couple Spirit MD parents to pass along real information about our club.

This is likely to be a positive step for the VA DA teams too as it will allow for tighter rosters-the pro team wanted the cash flow from the DA and didn’t care how large roster sizes were or if inappropriate players were rostered to get cash revenue.

Ok, if you are with Spirit MD and you are saying this, that's different than the trolls. Which age group are you with? If I have a chance to swing by, I might. I'd like to know what they said and why.

I believe you. I don't think there's anything anti-Spirit about stating there will be a change to the management of the DA teams. It's the posters saying that the DA teams will be dissolved or absorbed by FCV that are the trolls.

I think there's a lot of benefit to splitting the management of the DA teams away from the pro team....resources always give priority to the pro team and not enough to the DA. Also, maybe the costs can come down if the DA teams are separate. That;s been a common complaint here, especially when tied to the controversial ticket.

Not sure anything that comes out of Larry's mouth or off his pen is credible at this point, given his infamous letter.....

What a moronic statement. If they split from Spirit they are being absorbed by someone else....FCV or otherwise.

Spirit wants out of the youth soccer game. I don't care whether you believe it or not, and I have nothing at stake here, except a disbelief that I've been hearing this rumor for months and can't believe Spirit won't admit it publicly to the parents that pay them.
Same coaches, same offers to players, just no Spirit affiliation. It has already happened in MD, why wouldn't you believe it will happen in VA?

So, if Spirit breaks away from the VA players, who will they be? What will they be called? What fields will the use? Who will run their administration.
How will the parents make payments? To whom? How will the players be carded?

Thank you. I will try to get by there at a good time that's not a nuisance for you.
