Clarification. It appears favoritism in soccer on the girls side is insane here in VA. I was wondering if there is any club that keeps politics out of equation allowing for better opportunities to make it to the higher levels Guess I want to know the best clubs to join politics free and the ones to stay away from?

Stay away from FCV and BRYC

Corruption at its best. Which one is worse?

Stay away from the 'rich' clubs. Those are the ones who have entitled parents who are behind the scenes manipulating things and thus creating 'politics.' Just like in Every Aspect of Life.

They all do and guess what, there are rich folks in every club and they are also the ones that volunteer for the board.

You think it doesn’t exist on the boys’ side ? Look at the USMNT. It starts young.

I am sure it happens on both, however I have a girl so I am wondering if anyone has an input on which club does it at all right

Stay away from VDA and FCV

I have heard about VDA being horrible but Can you tell me why for FCV?

VDA has clear favorites and it is PWSI heavy on the girls side (PWSI and VSA merged to make VDA) They have one coach (Awful) that talks in the other coaches ears and pushes the ones he wants playing, these players are at best just fast and physical but have no technical ability or soccer IQ. FCV has the same it’s totally pay to play over there and the parents that are rich call the shots. Both FCV and VDA keep sending the same players to all these training centers that never go to the next level and over look the real talent due to there never ending politics and pushing agenda. Go out and watch some of there games I promise you will see what I am referring to. Mostly on the VDA side however you will see players play full games with no vision losing the ball over and over again and playing kick ball. exception for them is the 06 team they have a great team all the others are losing or squeaking by due to their midfielders being awful and coaching politics. Nothing changes on either team so stay away unless you are a “favorite” you won’t get recognized. Go to bryc or McLean in my opinion they play there best no matter who it is and except the girls to earn play which at this level is what it should be. Every club has there issues but those two clubs in my opinion are the worst. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Vda is actually more PWSI-heavy on the boys side than the girls. Which coach are you talking about?

Vda is all about favorites. You will only get picked for the first team if you are one of Quan’s favorites.

I’m spanish and we are at McLean. One of the reasons we chose McLean was because of the ethnic diversity in coaches and players.

Quan is why we left. Total asshole to the kids he doesn’t like. BFF to parents and kids he likes.

Two clubs need to make one super club. Super club of BS coaches and entitled children.

It sounds like this may be your personal experience. Sometimes people perceive a coach to have favorites and that their kid is getting slighted....when maybe what is going on is that the parent is not realistic about their child's talent compared to the "favorites." It's a competitive sport...someone is always going to have beef and think someone else is getting a better shot than their child...sometimes it's 100% true and sometimes it's 100% delusional parents. As a parent who has experience at multiple clubs, VDA is the least political and parents have the least direct say in coaching decisions...one of the reasons why I chose it.

That’s a flat out lie. You don’t have to like him but don’t act like he requires kids to go to HP. HP has long waiting lists. He doesn’t need to push kids there.
