Why is your Dad playing girls youth soccer? |
It all evens out in the end. Ball hogs eventually meet even bigger ball hogs. In this situation if you dont have any other skills on the field welcome to the transfer portal. |
Why would coaches waste time and money to go to Silverlake if they aren't recruiting from GA? |
That's like saying just because someone has a car and is racing in Nascar, they're not trying to win races. Such a stupid comment and likely stupid person |
Maybe the worst take I have seen on this board and that is saying something. the final 4 teams in D3 were UofC, Emory, Tufts and WashU. 4 of the best schools in the nation playing high level soccer. My kid would play for any of the 4 of those schools before playing for 90% of D1 programs. But that is because we value academics highly, clearly unlike you. You go ahead and take the Univeristy of Arkansas Pine Bluff offer because they are D1 and I will send my DD to University of Chicago😂 |
I know the WashU program well. That team would be favored over at least half of D1 teams. Multiple players on that squad played high level GA and ECNL and had multiple D1 offers. Some kids just value education vs some mouth breathers on this board. |
Is it true VRSC is inviting him and his crew to leave the OneFamily? |
The flip side of this is that 90% of D1 athletes couldnt even get into these 4 schools even with athlete consideration so they aren’t an option for many. |
Ok, debate has now grown tiresome. Parent is now arguing against facts in the sake of his/her own experience. Congrats you out performed the curve. We are all proud of you. It doesn’t mean much to us dumb parents who want to give our kids an advantage by attending a top academic college. Good luck VDA parent!!! |
Why would they? Almost every team has improved vs. last year. The guy literally has multiple Nat’l Championships, USWNT and USYNT players under his belt. |
It is a shame they didnt offer a statistics course at your small college. If they did you would realize that there are outliers. But if you think you have a better shot at success from Coppin State vs the University of Chicago you should really ask for your money back from that “small college” you attended………….. |
It’s kind of a false choice. Nobody is choosing one of these paths over the other. Anyone who is able to be admitted to U of Chicago is not going to Coppin State instead just for soccer. The ones going to Coppin St for soccer are weighing it against the other schools they could go to without soccer. |
Well, they didnt say which small college they went to or I would have used it instead as the sentiment would have been the same. And the original asshat OP was really what this post was directed to, the one where they belittled a poster for saying they were weighing D3 offers. At the end of the day, dumb kids that play high level soccer and smart kids that play high level soccer will find a school to fit their needs. |
There are three GA coaches, CC, MJ, and JU. ED and JJ are just hanging around the sidelines and have nothing to do with the GA teams' performance this year, although they'll have a role for any future homegrown ulittle talent. CC has a track record that is matched by very few coaches in the DMV, that's just a fact, but things don't seem to be headed in the right direction for his teams. If he and VRSC parted ways, who would replace him? Hard to imagine the club could attract someone with a better track record. MJ used to coach at FCV (he left several years before CC) but he was not a GA coach there, and he coached some very bad VRSC teams before the GA era began. JU did not come to VRSC via FCV, he came through the boys side and this is his first year coaching with CC. What do people think about him? It's easy to complain about the coaches, but turning around a program as weak as VRSC's girls program was never going to happen overnight. Maybe it never will. FCV rarely developed ulittle talent, instead they stole it from other clubs, but VRSC is not in a position to steal top talent from anyone. |
rumor has it GD is headed to VRSC. |
