Please go into more detail.

Not the PP, but seeing some games for this Saturday are being moved from Hanson turf to Bles. Not sure about future Saturday's.

GA games on grass turf will be canceled whenever it rains and Bles closes for the Reno.

TL;DR for your TL;DR
FCV is losing their main field space, the coaches are leaving, and 60-90% of the players from every team are also leaving. For the upcoming 24-25 season - field space is unknown, coaches are all new, and it's very possible some teams will have insufficient rosters. Proceed with caution.

This is why you want to join FCV, you'll get an opportunity to play at a national level against good competition and could even play up in some cases. #thefutureisFCV

I would love to hear how this could happen. Schedules have been out for a while now.

BP will fit right in. Just another big ego in that leadership room 🤣

"St. James Soccerl" just announced new tryouts for Girls Academy despite coaches indicating these rosters are full. Guess what happens if they over roster with players better than your DD? Good luck to all those commits to St. James. You might be on GA 2.

That's a great question. I'm sure FCV would LIKE to have full GA1 and GA2 teams and AB will make it seem that way. But reality is they are losing most if not all of the current GA1 team, and so it's hard to see where all these players would come from to roster two teams, and what the talent level would look like. 2010 age group is in the same boat.

This but it's for every age group so GA teams are screwed for the next few years unfortunately.

Where are current GA players going—what’s the split between VRSC and various ECNL clubs? No one seems to be claiming here that the players moved en massse to VRSC, so seems like a mix.

It’s been posted. The top players from 07, 08, 09, 10, and 11 are moving to VDA, Union, and Bethesda. Between 2 to 4 players per each age group. I don’t think any went Loudoun. Probably about 80% of the rest going to VRSC. Very few staying with FCV. Maybe 2 to 4 per age group, if that.

How competitive do you think those teams will be in GA at VRSC after losing the top 2-4 players and the bottom 2-4 players?

Both FCV and VRSC will be lucky if they make playoffs in any age group next year. There are rumors that Mid-Atlantic could split in two which would help VRSC. I don’t think FCV has any chance.

Think about it this way. All former FCV teams will now be weaker as VRSC teams while Skyline, Armour and others will remain the same. Probably just going to be a tight race between 3 or 4 teams with .500 record is my best guess.

WORD.

It's an interesting set of numbers, but it has VRSC coming in as the worst GA club in the country, 115/115.

You need to go take a walk or get therapy. Send the man an email and knock this off.

Seriously....it's a bit psychotic...starting to worry that you stalk AB in your free time.

BP and CZ are solid coaches...PERIOD. If you don't like either of them then you're probably not being honest with yourself on where your daughter's performance is at. They are two of the only coaches in this area who still teach/encourage possession, moving the ball and creative play. This is rare in NVA youth soccer, mostly kick ball, or drive the ball down the field as fast and hard as you can (uh um, VDA).
