Is VDA the best club to get recruited from?

Take a look at the families and not the players to get the explanation and reason for college destinations

It's not the soccer

that makes zero sense, again 21 girls D1...not 11 starters, all 21..impressive.

Give me a NCSL D3 team from Great Falls or Potomac and I'll get them into D1 schools 🤣

Only team that I have seen that has had similar commits is Richmond. They have a few players that are 2028 grad year, but all their 2027s committed to D1. Still not as many as VDA though.

Based on what I’ve seen from VDA’s social media and the recruiting posts their coaches make on this forum, the environment feels toxic. I wouldn’t consider sending my daughter there.

VDA is doing a great job. With that being said, some of those players came from other teams and committed prior to playing one game with VDA.

Your daughter wouldn't get an offer here.

VDA hasn’t won any championships. What they have is a big connection at the top org that oversees ECNL and all these other agencies which business move around it like TDS, etc.

If BP calls, you take it!

Best exposure around!

Eventually BP will get tired of making a lot less $$$ than QP and ML and get a TD/Girls TD job at a club with deep pockets. Arlington, VRSC, NVA, Alexandria. One of those.

True as well! If you're smart and you're being recruited to go to VDA by BP, make sure to ask when his contract expires with them.

Alexandria only has big pockets for one person.

I think that’s why ML and QP allow BP’s wife to train all the VDA kids and essentially double‑dip. It seems like a major conflict of interest—she trains the VDA players while families may feel pressured to join her sessions to ensure their kids get the same level of attention. The whole situation feels really messy.

Nw we have a hater thread for VDA like some of the other clubs. BP is a tool and this is clearly a post by the club itself. Total joke. I bet they implode within a year or two.

How do VDA players balance training with her as well as training with HP? Do both?
