They are overrated because the kick and run works in high school and local club soccer but doesn’t work beyond Nova.

Parents rejected MJ and ED in droves and will be leaving the club in large numbers…particularly the “top” players who basically run fast, are more aggressive but have no IQ and or skill.

The U17s played Nationally Ranked SC Del Sol #4, #91 HTX, and #108 Florida United. That really isn't much lower. SC Del Sol is rated higher than VDA and Richmond. VRSC only lost 4-2. SC Del Sol is also ranked #3 in the US on Defense and VRSC scored twice. That is probably a good loss, right? HTX and Florida United are ranked higher than FVU ECNL but yeah, losing by two goals to both teams was not what the girls wanted. Did you know the VRSC starting GK was injured in the first half of the second game and did not play in the 3rd game? The Soccer Rankings App won't tell you that. Look, injuries happen but losing your only GK who is also your only D1 commit. That is a pretty significant loss. Also one of the starting CBs was out for the last two of three games as well.

Please leave the U17s families alone. We only have a year and half left before we are out and don't want to be part of the discussion. Nobody here is acting like we are best team in the area. We know where we fit in. Thanks.

Didn’t SC del sol play their second team most of that game and one goal was last minute luck? At the time VRSC 2009 was about 70. They lost to at least two inferior teams, but keep fooling yourself. Ask the coach why in one game a player showed up after the start time of the game and still played significant time during the game. Ok, so maybe she was the top player? Who was paid off for that to happen? Actually, happens at all the teams in this club…including owners sleeping with parents. One of the parents for our team was sleeping with the president of the company. The team coaches are frequently on here defending coaches getting high before practices. This club really kept it classy this year.

I said I am staying away from this. I was at the game. Yes, 2nd goal came in last minute. I am not going to address here say since I was actually there supporting DD and team.

I truly hope you find what you are looking for. Sorry something so terrible happened to your DD’s team. I can honestly say that the parents that heard about it were all disturbed. We don’t support that behavior but at the same time nobody is going to pick up, leave, or protest against the Club or Coach during our DDs recruitment years.

Again, politely, please leave our team out of the discussion. Thank you.

Unlike many parents here, I don't judge kids who play JuCo soccer. However, that's likely the best you'll get VRSC. Only one of the reasons we left. But, I love this journey for you.

Anyone singling out minors is a jerk no matter what age.

Buckle up Buttercups, this is going to be a long one. I have some bones to pick! This is about soccer.

So let's get this straight. Just want to tell you that every single GA Club is behind all of the ECNL clubs in the entire DMV. All of the ECNL Clubs would finish 1st in the division if they joined Mid Atlantic South GA. ECNL isn't going away overnight like some of you think. Not even multiple nights. As long as ECNL takes the majority of D1 commits, it will always be that way. Arlington moving back to GA would not be by choice but forced because of the boys. No way would they choose GA over ECNL.

Moving on to the NVA/Loudoun/VRSC/StJ disgruntled parents and Champions Cup. The nasty parents posting nasty things here are only from these clubs or perhaps new to GA Clubs. VRSC got Champions Cup for one reason and one reason only. They finished better than any other EXISTING GA Club in the division last year including the where the North Carolina Clubs finished the previous year in a different division. That is the long and the short of it. No conspiracies, just the rules. You don't see SYC, Skyline or StJ parents complaining because they already understand this. There are six existing GA teams in the division which makes sense why only one was chosen instead of two. New GA teams are not eligible and never have been. Do better.

Speaking of Champions Cup and leaving the atrocious politics of VRSC, Loudoun and NVA out of it. VRSC especially but we will just keep it to soccer. VRSC is currently second in Champions Cup standings only to CISC. That's a fact...currently but could change. Regardless, they still stand second. Let me be clear...as a whole...THIS MEANS VRSC IS OUT PERFORMING EVERY OTHER GA CLUB IN NOVA CURRENTLY AS A WHOLE. I see a point brought up about VRSC not playing NVA or SYC twice. Here is the problem with that strawman argument...VRSC did play CISC twice who is the top club in the division and it isn't even close. So, would you rather play the best Club twice or would you rather play the 3rd place Club twice? Oh, and btw, VRSC also got CDA twice who sits in 4th. NVA is behind them. Point is, that it is all a wash and that argument is weak at best. Again, no conspiracy in this one. Do better!

The performance by VRSC in Cali was awful. Remember though, they are still 2nd in the division and doing better as a whole than you. Why are many of you so entitled to think you do better? I don't get it. Sure, the U19 NVA team may have got a win but some of the other age groups would have lost by double digits. Also, as I mentioned, new GA teams are not eligible so that is null. So if SYC went, sure, some of the younger teams might have done better but also others may have lost by double digits. I don't really have any issues with SYC as I don't think they are here posting often. Still, many of you are really splitting hairs and not seeing the whole picture. IF your club was that much better, you would see it in the standings. Do better.

To tack on to the above, if VRSC is performing better currently, than it is a result of either the coaching or skill level of the players. Or both. But you cannot deny they are outperforming your Club. At the same time, thanks to the poor decisions of management and coaches outside of soccer, some families will leave. VRSC will likely see a set back of next year. Will be interesting to watch how management adjusts to correct the mistakes and current problems. May take years. Do better.

On to the next. NVA and Loudoun PPs. So you guys are throwing shade like no other yet being outperformed by VRSC, Mclean, and SYC. As the saying goes, you don't really have a pot to pee in or a leg to stand on with your record. NVA - You lost an entire team to ECNL. Your top younger players will flock to VDA or Union when offered. Your top team is graduating this year. That means you have to replace that team with another 1st place team next season to even be relevant for Champions Cup. Somebody recently posted that you don't even want VRSC players but from outside the box, you need every single VRSC player you can get. Loudoun - I mean, your below VRSC, Mclean, SYC, NVA, and maybe even Skyline. Meanwhile Alexandria wants all the smoke from everyone. Good for them, I hope they succeed...maybe worry more about NVA than anyone else? Is Do better.

I don't think I need to get into the politics. Results are results and why sports are played with the end goal of winning. Doing it withing the rules. The politics of VRSC or any other club acting in the manner we have seen VRSC play out this year will have an impact. You do crappy things, families will leave and your results will suffer. You do crappy things, parents will voice their opinions on platforms like this. Don't do crappy things. Do better.

I agree. The jerk coach always singling out my player. Don’t single out my player when it’s actually another player who doesn’t make an effort.

Of the local GA clubs, Loudoun/NVA, SYC, and MYS produce far more talented ulittles than VRSC, Alex, and TSJ. The question is whether they will be able to keep those players when they face the ECNL vs GA question. This season, NVA and SYC kept their rising U13s and MYS lost theirs. Does the 2013s’ experience this season make it more or less likely that the 2014s will take the same path?

Most top players leave for ECNL Clubs by U15 and U16. U17 is pretty much too late.

So, would you rather play the best Club twice or would you rather play the 3rd place Club twice? Oh, and btw, VRSC also got CDA twice who sits in 4th. NVA is behind them. Point is, that it is all a wash and that argument is weak at best. Again, no conspiracy in this one. Do better!

The performance by VRSC in Cali was awful. Remember though, they are still 2nd in the division and doing better as a whole than you. Why are many of you so entitled to think you do better? I don't get it. Sure, the U19 NVA team may have got a win but some of the other age groups would have lost by double digits. Also, as I mentioned, new GA teams are not eligible so that is null. So if SYC went, sure, some of the younger teams might have done better but also others may have lost by double digits. I don't really have any issues with SYC as I don't think they are here posting often. Still, many of you are really splitting hairs and not seeing the whole picture. IF your club was that much better, you would see it in the standings. Do better.

To tack on to the above, if VRSC is performing better currently, than it is a result of either the coaching or skill level of the players. Or both. But you cannot deny they are outperforming your Club. At the same time, thanks to the poor decisions of management and coaches outside of soccer, some families will leave. VRSC will likely see a set back of next year. Will be interesting to watch how management adjusts to correct the mistakes and current problems. May take years. Do better.

On to the next. NVA and Loudoun PPs. So you guys are throwing shade like no other yet being outperformed by VRSC, Mclean, and SYC. As the saying goes, you don't really have a pot to pee in or a leg to stand on with your record. NVA - You lost an entire team to ECNL. Your top younger players will flock to VDA or Union when offered. Your top team is graduating this year. That means you have to replace that team with another 1st place team next season to even be relevant for Champions Cup. Somebody recently posted that you don't even want VRSC players but from outside the box, you need every single VRSC player you can get. Loudoun - I mean, your below VRSC, Mclean, SYC, NVA, and maybe even Skyline. Meanwhile Alexandria wants all the smoke from everyone. Good for them, I hope they succeed...maybe worry more about NVA than anyone else? Is Do better.

I don't think I need to get into the politics. Results are results and why sports are played with the end goal of winning. Doing it withing the rules. The politics of VRSC or any other club acting in the manner we have seen VRSC play out this year will have an impact. You do crappy things, families will leave and your results will suffer. You do crappy things, parents will voice their opinions on platforms like this. Don't do crappy things. Do better.

This lame rant screams of damage control. I wonder which staffer was tasked with writing this drivel. Either way, your coaching still is garbage and NOT European fancy in any way despite those awful accents and poor communication skills despite all your years here.

So let's get this straight. Just want to tell you that every single GA Club is behind all of the ECNL clubs in the entire DMV. All of the ECNL Clubs would finish 1st in the division if they joined Mid Atlantic South GA. ECNL isn't going away overnight like some of you think. Not even multiple nights. As long as ECNL takes the majority of D1 commits, it will always be that way. Arlington moving back to GA would not be by choice but forced because of the boys. No way would they choose GA over ECNL.

Moving on to the NVA/Loudoun/VRSC/StJ disgruntled parents and Champions Cup. The nasty parents posting nasty things here are only from these clubs or perhaps new to GA Clubs. VRSC got Champions Cup for one reason and one reason only. They finished better than any other EXISTING GA Club in the division last year including the where the North Carolina Clubs finished the previous year in a different division. That is the long and the short of it. No conspiracies, just the rules. You don't see SYC, Skyline or StJ parents complaining because they already understand this. There are six existing GA teams in the division which makes sense why only one was chosen instead of two. New GA teams are not eligible and never have been. Do better.

Speaking of Champions Cup and leaving the atrocious politics of VRSC, Loudoun and NVA out of it. VRSC especially but we will just keep it to soccer. VRSC is currently second in Champions Cup standings only to CISC. That's a fact...currently but could change. Regardless, they still stand second.

Damage control? The damage has already been done. If parents don't want to leave, that is their choice. By all means, keep complaining. I don't care. It doesn't affect me or my family. It doesn't affect the current results either. Sorry if you are triggered that VRSC is doing well despite the drama and California. That is just what the results say. My DDs club isn't 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th and I'm not offended by VRSC place. Then again, she might not be in GA either...but then again, she might be???

Question though, how many Power Four D1 commits does your coach have? A VRSC Coach has over 60 and probably many many more at other D1 schools. Much harder to get a unknown GA Club D1 commitments in a new Division especially with the lack of talent. They aren't Tophat, lol. How many ECNL, GA, or DA National Championships does you coach have? VRSC coach has multiple and finals appearances going back to DA when DA was the top league. You don't have that kind of success as a poor coach. CW, BP, and a couple of others in the area are the only active coaches with that kind of success over the past 10 years.

Yet those awful accents and communication skills are still outperforming with the talent they have. This isn't Ricky Bobby or Top Gun. 2nd place does count and your club has zero chance to get there. This is about soccer, remember? Until then just keep looking up. I know you are not a SYC parent because they are decent people. You are really perhaps just the disgruntled VRSC dad. Why don't you just leave now? NVA is waiting. Loudoun is waiting. SYC and Mclean not so much. ECNL is not an option for you. Chances are VRSC will be beaten out by SYC before the end of the season and won't make Champions Cup this year or next year anyway. Deservingly so. I also doubt you are an NVA parent because most of them have common sense, but not all...some don't realize they are only left with one good team, are losing their best team and have to rely on the Ulittles to pick up the slack. No chance to make Champions Cup this year or next and will keep finishing under VRSC. Mclean and SYC will finish ahead of VRSC, NVA, and Loudoun next season. Heck maybe even Alexandria too.

You Loudoun parents are too ignorant to see what your in-fighting has done to yourselves. Going to end up all at the bottom of Champions Club points next season because of it. You already lost your only ECNL team. Perfectly happy watching my DDs Club go up while all of yours go down. That's right. Maybe we can get that certain VRSC coach if you keep playing your cards the way you do. We'll happily have him. I know him A LOT better than anyone on this thread. Poor coach left a Juggernaut for a Juggle Not. You can't put lipstick on a pig even if Jurgen Klopp was coaching. FCV competed with ECNL teams. VRSC cannot. Hindsight 20/20. Even sadder is NVA and Loudoun. Trust me, everyone outside of Loudoun or in the ECNL is laughing at you.

Happy New Year!

Serious question since you seem to be a serious person. Why are you down on NVA GA? I understand most of their teams are struggling this season, but that’s because they lost their top players to ECNL clubs when NVA switched to GA. The 2013s stuck with NVA though and appear to be a lock to win the south mid Atlantic this season. The 2014s also are a very good team, perhaps better than the 2013s; if they stick together, then they should do well in GA too. Very similar story with SYC, which you seem to recognize. What am I missing with NVA?

What you’re DD is missing is being on an ECNL team.
