FCV, Barca, PAC, St. James... is Doradus privately owned? any others?

I don't think PAC is privately owned. From the website: "Premier Athletics Club, (PAC), is a non-profit, federal tax-exempt organization."

Non-profits can be privately owned. It’s a nice way to pay yourself some dough via salary and avoid business taxes on profits. Just spend adequately to make sure you don’t make a profit.

I can’t think of a worse investment. Oh wait. Yes I can...

Yeah, I was gonna say ...

How do you know it is for sale? I've seen that mentioned a few times here, but just wondering where you all are seeing that?

I thought this was one of the main differences between a non-profit and for-profit? In any case, I do not believe the club has an owner.

So now that folks have mostly processed things. Are memberships included for those being rostered? Or is that something that's coming later? Also, any idea when the morning yoga session, love to get my meditation on then grab an overpriced latte on the way out the door.....then drive 40 minutes home.

It is called travel soccer, Barca must be doing cartwheels now.

The memberships fees are likely just as "included" as Spirit Season tickets were to those players.

Make no mistake, you AND your player are there to make money for The St. James. Whether it is a club membership, a party rental or a dinner at their restaurant as a part of your three and a half hour day dedicated to a practice.

Most Loudoun based families will not home earlier than 9:30.

Maybe the new uniforms will be free to soften some of the blow.

FCV girls will go to Loudoun and other local options. Barca will probably get the Loudoun Gray team kids that are displaced down the chain.

This is the most quiet xFCV parents have ever been. What a glorious day!

They have separate fitness and spa membership options.

I know many Loudoun parents that don’t want to do ECNL because of the travel involved and are heading to Barca.
