Lots of teams have injuries, but NVA's 09s seem to be going through some things right now. They really haven't been the same since about the time NS left (not saying NS was the reason they were good, just saying). They dominated VDA at Jeff Cup last year, but ended up losing the bracket to that same VDA team on points. Then struggled in Texas and crashed out of the Seattle. Something is definitely off, the roster doesn't look like there was much turnover from last year and they weren't necessarily a "kickball/big kids" type team from what I saw last year.

But then, 4-1-1, with one bad weekend isn't really that bad a place to be. Still half a season and MidAtlantic Cup to go (not including showcases, etc.).

Those 2 teams tied at UMD and VDA “dominated” at BSC tournament. Give it a rest.

Give what a rest? Not sure what you're arguing.

They tied at Copa Rayados 2-2, VDA lost to NVA 1-0 in season play, then VDA won 1-0 at Bethesda, but then NVA beat VDA 3-0 at Jeff Cup (all prior to UMD). I'll let those scores stand on there own. One definitely stands out compared to the others. They are both very good teams in their Conference, just noting that NVA hit a rough patch at the end of the season last year, reflected as noted above.

NVA's struggles are 100% coaching-related.

1000% confirmed ✅

NVA 09 always “crashes out” in the playoffs. That’s not a PL problem. NS was in Texas so what’s the excuse there? Stop blaming coaches for everything.

Why?
NS > PL Doesn't mean NS was going to take that team and suddenly start being the best of Cali and TX. Those teams are just better. But the team is certainly worse off with PL.

How come NVA 09 can’t get out of the group at playoffs but other virginia teams can?

Because VDA 09 > NVA

And PL is not a good coach.

Why?

Doesn't understand offense in soccer. Too predictable. Repetitive practices. Stifles creativity on the field. Plays politics/favorites. Refuses to adapt in game situations. Doesn't get the most out of his players. Stubborn.

Spot on

Any insiders know why lazy and subpar folks like Roberto and Phil still get to collect checks for virtually no ROI?

Because they win and keep 85% of the team happy. What else do you want? Who cares if they lose at Regionals or Nationals? Did your club qualify for either?

They seem to be one of the few ECNL teams that only roster 18-20 players, and they somehow compete with the other NOVA teams carrying 23-27+ players....NVA is not such a bad deal if you can make the team.

I believe most of the hate comes from parents of kids that did not make the team

Win what? They send 2/3 kids to D1 schools and their younger age groups are now crashing out of simple tournaments because people have options. LS has always prioritized whoever can grow the fastest - "who cares if your parents are 5'4, you're 5' in 4th grade let's kick and chase".

boom goes the dynamite… someone hit it on the head

Doubt it’s parents whose kids didn’t make it. Despite what you’d like to believe, my guess is these are all current parents on NVA players. I think there’s a serious lack of respect and loyalty amongst the staff for each other and it’s pouring over onto the field and their players. Nothing worse than a club with a bad culture that starts at the top and has no where to go but trickle down. This won’t bode well for the future of NVA, at least not on the girls side. It’s really unfortunate too bc there’s a ton of talent at NVA if the coaches could just get their heads out of the cloud and work together they could do some good things over there.

loyalty amongst staff and players….. does loyalty equal kids getting equal playing time, captains bands and id sessions? Or loyalty from coaches undercutting other coaches? Please define this loyalty as thing. Anyways NVA doesn’t sound much different from other clubs if its staff on staff issues. Do you think your girls will make a run for it!? And why are there no womens coaches. That really bothers me.

[Anonymous]

Loyalty amongst coaches would be a strong feeling of support and allegiance for the team, club and one another. Meaning you don’t put your fellow peers down in front of their players when they’re not around in an attempt to undercut them, disrespect them or change the future course of the team. You respect each other, help and support each other towards a common goal which can be one of several things…player development, winning, trophies, etc…

The parent culture at NVA is as bad as the coaching culture. Or maybe they are because of and feed off each other. Some clubs are run by the coaches and others are run by the parents. We know which one is NVA
