We live in Richmond, my DD plays in Richmond, and the only two parents I know that post on here are two psychotic parents that used to have DDs in Richmond but left for VDA.

My only question was if other Richmond parents actually post in here or not. Sorry.

definately a troll trying to drum up attention to vda. Probably a TD threatened by RU’s dominant teams hoping for defections to vda. Its not going to happen however. Keep on wishing upon a star. No one is carpooling from the 804 buddy

Don't be fooled RU has 2 dominant teams, the rest are on their way down after having the clubs worst year ever.

They were top 25 last year for ECNL clubs.

The boys side seems to be getting weaker too. Teams that beat us a couple years ago are now losing 0-4, 1-3.

IDK. Quickly comparing the younger RU ages to the VDA ages they look pretty similar in their placement with clubs like Arlington and FVU ahead of them. The 11's at RU are solid. The 10's have always struggled but did finish mid-table this year and the 09's and '07/08 teams area again near the top of the table. Worst year ever?

What is that? 4 hour round trip daily for practice? Insanity. I find it impossible to believe that they couldn't find similar opportunities in RVA.

I'm in Richmond and post on occasion. Board is pretty fun since it's anonymous to a point if you aren't blatantly obvious about it. Can be some interesting information gathered if you filter through all the BS.

There are players at RU that come from the VA Beach area as well as coming down 95 from Fredericksburg, so I guess it's not unprecedented to drive the opposite way up to the DC area. I wouldn't want to do it. It's bad enough even in Richmond if you are north of town to get to River City Sportsplex - that's about 40 minutes.

your providing facts to an obvious troll vda td. Attempting to drum up interest from a family or two. The 11s will continue to haunt the MA. Seems the 10s are the weakest of the litter at the moment. That might change with the age group stuff. Both clubs shouldn’t be so self absorbed to ignore major changes going on in NC. The good folks at CISA are free to run to other clubs now. Next year will be interesting

Many of the top tier players on the boys ECNL squad have been leaving and are playing for MLS Academy teams. They had about 6 or so leave last year, so it's not surprising that the boys teams aren't as strong. Not saying that the sole reason for their stated decline, but it does impact things. Across multiple ages groups at Philly Union there are I think 4 RU kids.

Very true. There will be some shuffling of players at the younger ages due to the age change. From what has been said, there is some effort to keep the older age teams together as much as possible. But, NC team make-up will be interesting. Forgot that the CISA change to GA came out late, after tryouts so it will be interesting to see what players are moving over to Charlotte SA, etc.f

this inverse effect is across board. Once the boys ecnl talent is completely watered down and recruiters stop showing up it will be interesting for all the ecnl clubs

After watching my friend’s kid who is in a MLS Academy this weekend, it was very obvious that the players are on a completely different level than MA ECNL kids. Between international players and MLS not much is left for the average player. Lots of time, energy and money being spent on something that most likely won’t go anywhere.

Can a kid have fun playing the sport? I know it's a crazy question, but seriously take a step back.

I believe the PP was suggesting that kids should be playing for fun but a lot of money and time is being spent in pursuit of a goal that's not realistic.
