I don’t think either of the encl neighbors has great teams and VYS already sent some of its boys to other ecnls. They know how to teach younger kids how to play properly. I would have my kid play at VYS over any of the nearby U9-12 teams for clubs who have encl teams. Those clubs are not teaching much of anything to kids at those ages, which is readily apparent to anybody who sees their teams at those ages

On the girls side, VYS teams under U13 are in the best league and that league also has a reasonable travel schedule. The coaching is really good, and the kids and parents are nice. Almost everyone has been together since the rec leagues. It’s not a “destination” club, but our Vienna kids have had a lot of success and the team is legitimately one of the best teams in NOVA. Most important at this age - DD is loving it. We are too. So I think the club must be doing something right.

I know that the best kids used to find their way to other “destination” clubs, but I don’t know if that’s happening anymore. U16 and under at Vienna looks really strong, and its just hard to imagine DDs team breaking up because the better kids go play at Mclean or BRYC or Great Falls or Metro. Admittedly, I don’t know the coaches or players or parents at those places. I have read some DCUM threads though, and I’m thinking the experience is definitely not better than what we have now.

You don’t know what you’re taking about. The best girls in the area go to FCV. We have the best coaches and training and college placement. VYS is garbage in comparison

Thanks for the advice. FCV sounds incredible.

It’s not. GA is the top girls league. No other path to USWNT. ecnl is diluted

Poster said best league under U13. They aren’t wrong.

Over 13, any club can join GA at this point, but it doesn’t seem like anyone wants to.

Returning. This was our DD’s best year yet. We like the coach, like the training, like the other girls and parents, like NCSL, and, honestly, like the playing time.

That said, she’s on black, and while she continues to improve, I have no illusion she will play in college. She’s an AAP kid anyway, but VYS has been great for her. Really, my only complaint is that I’d like for her to get a third practice per week in (only red gets that).

Lol. Necessary but not sufficient to get into tj, which does circles around any school in the area, along with its students. If you are smart, you aren’t thinking about what bumper sticker to put on your parent’s car, unlike the poor kid of the chump above.

That's one of the dumbest suggestions ever--since when does that duel format represent actual soccer? That's okay, we know FCV is a feeder for HS teams and kick and run--we can tell from your post.
