that only helped NVA pushing U14s into first. VRSC is still 5th.

Just guessing though- Syc lost a champions cup point. NVA gains one. Are they now tied for second? Rev is one bit closer?

CISC has Champs cup locked up for next year with 23 points currently. The current battle for the 2nd team to qualify is as follows...
NVA - 14 pts
SYC - 13 pts
VRSC - 12 pts

VRSC vs SYC has an upcoming fixture in a couple of weeks that will play a part. I believe U16 won't matter because they are locked in their positions. U17 VRSC is heavy favorites to win. U15 and U18 could be close. U13 SYC is likely to beat Rev again, and U14 is up in the air.

U13 and U14 Rev, NVA, SYC all play each other at least once in conference before the league year ends.

the problem is at U13 VRSC had some recent exit of players. So they are done. (Tying Horrible Mclean says it all) SYC will beat them again. And it’s very unlikely VRSC can beat NVA. I suspect SYC will beat or tie NVA. So SYC are odds favs for 2nd in cup. U14s VRSC is stuck in 5th.

Time for new TD for girls. This TD has failed.

Next season’s U19s will carry this club. Exiting talent in the younger age groups…no way Rev sniffs Champions Cup ever again.

You are a pipe dreamer. The girls who committed will end up not playing to prevent precious from getting injuries. Oh wait, almost all the commits are already injured. Add in very bad coaching decisions and deeply pay to play parents who can’t stand to see precious not playing d3. Just threaten to leave and become a starter.

Just tells you how bad Mid Atlantic South is. NVA would have no chance at Champions Cup if it wasn't for the leftover U19 ECNL players this year and they still dominated. NVA is losing it's star U17 player next season to NVA and the players coming back from Union showed they aren't game changing. The two top players went to VDA this past season anyway.

Nobody cares about U19. Seniors aren't going to bother with California playoffs anyway if they are going to play in college. It's always been this way no matter the league. Next year will even be worse with the group change.

As for next year VRSC U19s, they will still finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Competition is too weak. NVA will be better but will be somewhere in the same conversation as VRSC. CISC will have the same issues you mentioned as VRSC.

Agree on bad coaching decisions, disagree on "pay to play" parents. Disagree on threats. You put too much stock in to unimportant showcase events. The real problem is the roster of 30+ players with the GFR imports and age realignment. At the same time, the 08s started with 24 players, lost players to injury, quitting, and leaving early for college. If it wasn't for GFR imports they would have been down to 15 players.

Other age groups are fine. It's the younger age groups around the league that lose players to ECNL. Happens to everyone.

D3 has only a few good divisions...with mostly GA and ECNL players. Outside of that, any player in GA can get a roster spot on lower D3 teams. Not sure how much playing time they get but lower level D3 teams are mostly made up of RL, GA, GA Aspire and USYS players. Most players can find a home if they really want to play soccer in college. It's not hard for GA players to do.

NVA had a “star” U17 player? News to the NOVA soccer community. That team was terrible.

I’ve been watching ECNL and ga games for years now. With the exception of Bobby p bringing coaches to practices, no college coaches come to league games.

It’s ALL about showcasing against better teams and players. League games only open the door to better events. VRSC uses getting more paying customers to offer them showcase opportunities. Sorry, but that’s pay to play as somebody said previously.

You're pretty accurate. The whole reason why you would play in ECNL or GA vs some other regional league is the recruitment platform. You know the coaches will be at ECNL showcases so all you have to do is contact coaches and perform. I have seen local schools show up at local league games like GW @ an arlington game. That doesn't happen very often, but does.

at McLean too - lots of kids currently driving from Great Falls/Vienna/Reston will be done with that drive pretty quickly when it's not the top GA club in the area.

Maybe CC follows NE to Coppermine. Good fit for both of them.

If rev isn’t careful they’re going to lose more kids midseason. We’ve only seen people defend rev by saying they’re there for the bathroom and drinks. Well Rev isn’t there for that. All KS goes on about is the “pathway” and claiming to be elite. Even their fields are starting to go to shit (field 2 hole anyone?). Also those bathrooms always smell like sewage.

Real question I want answered is why did Coach Kasey leave??? We were already leaving at the end of this season but for the rest of you, pay attention. When your coaches start disappearing, it’s time to go.

Good points. However, Pay to play is a problem at Revolution.
The U.S. youth system is built on pay‑to‑play, especially in wealthy areas like NOVA. The corruption isn’t obvious it’s behind closed doors.

Private lessons with team coaches become the backdoor where money buys access, influence, and playing time. Families who pay get ahead; those who don’t fall behind.

Europe avoids this because training is free or cheap. Clubs invest long‑term: develop talent, sell players, reinvest. Merit drives opportunity.

In the U.S., clubs profit from fees, not player development. Coaches rely on side income. The system prioritizes paying customers over actual talent.

So when Rev suddenly is hiring just old “St. James FCV “coaches” right after they loose GA. Is it about quality, or about keeping the pay‑for‑access culture alive? Buying in just means more money for the same people.

CISC has Champs cup locked up for next year with 23 points currently. The current battle for the 2nd team to qualify is as follows...
NVA - 14 pts
SYC - 13 pts
VRSC - 12 pts

VRSC vs SYC has an upcoming fixture in a couple of weeks that will play a part. I believe U16 won't matter because they are locked in their positions. U17 VRSC is heavy favorites to win. U15 and U18 could be close. U13 SYC is likely to beat Rev again, and U14 is up in the air.

U13 and U14 Rev, NVA, SYC all play each other at least once in conference before the league year ends.

the problem is at U13 VRSC had some recent exit of players. So they are done. (Tying Horrible Mclean says it all) SYC will beat them again. And it’s very unlikely VRSC can beat NVA. I suspect SYC will beat or tie NVA. So SYC are odds favs for 2nd in cup. U14s VRSC is stuck in 5th.

Time for new TD for girls. This TD has failed.

Next season’s U19s will carry this club. Exiting talent in the younger age groups…no way Rev sniffs Champions Cup ever again.

You are a pipe dreamer. The girls who committed will end up not playing to prevent precious from getting injuries. Oh wait, almost all the commits are already injured. Add in very bad coaching decisions and deeply pay to play parents who can’t stand to see precious not playing d3. Just threaten to leave and become a starter.

Just tells you how bad Mid Atlantic South is. NVA would have no chance at Champions Cup if it wasn't for the leftover U19 ECNL players this year and they still dominated. NVA is losing it's star U17 player next season to NVA and the players coming back from Union showed they aren't game changing. The two top players went to VDA this past season anyway.

Nobody cares about U19. Seniors aren't going to bother with California playoffs anyway if they are going to play in college. It's always been this way no matter the league. Next year will even be worse with the group change.

As for next year VRSC U19s, they will still finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Competition is too weak. NVA will be better but will be somewhere in the same conversation as VRSC. CISC will have the same issues you mentioned as VRSC.

Agree on bad coaching decisions, disagree on "pay to play" parents. Disagree on threats. You put too much stock in to unimportant showcase events. The real problem is the roster of 30+ players with the GFR imports and age realignment. At the same time, the 08s started with 24 players, lost players to injury, quitting, and leaving early for college. If it wasn't for GFR imports they would have been down to 15 players.

Other age groups are fine. It's the younger age groups around the league that lose players to ECNL. Happens to everyone.

D3 has only a few good divisions...with mostly GA and ECNL players. Outside of that, any player in GA can get a roster spot on lower D3 teams. Not sure how much playing time they get but lower level D3 teams are mostly made up of RL, GA, GA Aspire and USYS players. Most players can find a home if they really want to play soccer in college. It's not hard for GA players to do.

Good points. However, Pay to play is a problem at Revolution.
The U.S. youth system is built on pay‑to‑play, especially in wealthy areas like NOVA. The corruption isn’t obvious it’s behind closed doors.

Private lessons with team coaches become the backdoor where money buys access, influence, and playing time. Families who pay get ahead; those who don’t fall behind.

Europe avoids this because training is free or cheap. Clubs invest long‑term: develop talent, sell players, reinvest. Merit drives opportunity.

In the U.S., clubs profit from fees, not player development. Coaches rely on side income. The system prioritizes paying customers over actual talent.

So when Rev suddenly is hiring just old “St. James FCV “coaches” right after they loose GA. Is it about quality, or about keeping the pay‑for‑access culture alive? Buying in just means more money for the same people.

Clubs in Europe do not "invest long term" for anyone but THE BEST. There are more stories about kids 9, 10, 11, 12, and up, going to trials, not getting accepted or getting accepted then dismissed a few months later. Then the kid hopes to eventually catch on somewhere else.

This myth about the idyllic "European model" is not as grand as some would make it out to be. Does it work for some kids. Yes. Maybe 95% of kids it doesn't. They maybe can play free/inexpensive local level soccer but kids can do that here too. It's called "rec". No shame in it if local, and inexpensive is what you want.

This club has terrible coaching and terrible player pool. It’s a joke. The coaches all leave and any kid with some talent eventually figure it out too and leave for better clubs. It’s a revolving door.
