It is not just a rumor and its poor form that they haven't told their current players yet. If nothing changes except for not having the spirit name will current players stay?

[Anonymous]

So you are saying they will be called “Great Falls DA” with no pro team affiliation? Same current coaching staff?

[Anonymous]

In regards to them keeping players. No. They will lose every player they want to keep.

^^^Agreed-the whole Spirit DA was built around the pro team and having access and affiliation with the Washington Spirit brand. Who gives a fig about Great Falls-Reston? Not what players and parents signed up for!

Fortunately, the deafening silence by the club leadership and some useful info from this forum have been very telling to a lot of players and families who have been investigating other options for months. It’s pretty terrible that the club is waiting until the 11th hour to confirm all of the rumors and speculation. I just hope all of the Spirit girls with talent land elsewhere next year and can thrive.

I think if it is a DA team then they will be fine and maybe better. There was a lot of talk that the Spirit just ran for profit and so that was why you saw girls playing who should not have been playing DA. I don't though that this rumour is true. The Spirit would have said something so as not to look bad in the public eyes.

Why would anyone think this is a thing? There’s no reason for it and no substantiated source. Just an anonymous PJ DCUM troll drooling behind their keyboard.

Good reminder from one of the other Spirit troll generated threads what this set of trolls is trying to do. It’s telegraphed in the last line. They think this is information warfare. As much as they think Spirit parents are trying to recruit, it is these sick individuals who are spreading fake news to try to deter people from looking or even staying with the club. This forum has become a lame type of infowars and a joke to boot.

BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO RECRUIT.

Anything that causes uncertainty or doubt goes against their mission. You are the enemy if YOU bring up or point out issues that is not favorable to their cause. Hence, "You're a troll", "Just go away", "your just mad your kid is slow", "Bryc coaches suck", "McLean is trash", "FCV parents are nothing but thugs".

They will even come on ECNL threads and attack you because in order to recruit from BRYC and McLean, they need parents to believe that DA is better than ECNL.

These threads are all about information warfare and controlling narratives

If this rumor is true and hopefully we will find out soon whether it is or isn’t. The most important thing is not the club name on the uniform. It remains who the coaches are. Hopefully Tom, George and Spencer remain. And hopefully they will be adding one or two more DA level coaches for next year.

If this rumor is true then it means people were misled to say it nicely. So I don’t see people deciding to stick around. This is probably the worst option if retaining the talent they did have was their goal. Honestly don’t see them filling full teams next year, if this is true.

Maybe they could offer existing spirit players free gfr uniforms to soften the blow?

LOL this is not happening. Stop fapping behind your keyboard.

The longer they take to refute this “rumor” the more phone calls and tryouts will occur. If they don’t give out the info decisions will be made regardless.

They don't even know about this rumor. I doubt they read this forum.

There's no reason to think this will happen. Especially given the track record of rumors here.

No credibility.

Any person who is not a troll on this board should be laughing right now. I know I am.
