That is weird if they can’t even field Pre-ECNL teams, but I guess feeder club doesn’t mean much.

It isnt trolling on the girls side, Valor has the best record of the dumpster fire of teams, it is fact. Herndon doesn’t have enough players to field teams. I am fairly certain if you add up the wins and losses of all of the feeder teams in pre ecnl, lets say for girls, it will triple the number of losses compared to wins. This is gut feel, but i bet someone will figure it out and tell me I am in the ballpark.

Valor girls are 3rd and 2nd for U11 and U12 pre ecnl. No other feeder team comes close to that level of performance. As long as FVU is not overrun by McLean 2014 girls jumping over than it is safe to say Valor is the top dog in FVU girls for the foreseeable future. So, yes -- Valor did help save FVU's butt. The rest of the feeder clubs are a joke.

I just know this person has some Busch Gardens (Valor vs Valor final) rec tournament medals displayed in their home.

How are you so stupid to not understand that there is no such thing as a "feeder team"? Its all marketing and you are a sucker. FVU will take the best players who try out regardless of whether they played rec, Valor, or any other club, "alliance" or not.

Valor's training is *terrible*. Their kids can't compete technically.

The results don’t lie loser. Valor girls own pre ecnl. That means they will soon own FVU. Might as well change the name to Fairfax Valor Union. The rest of the feeders can cry about it all they like.

Pre-ecnl is interesting you can see they only played certain teams for the fall season. Record outside of league play isn't great.

Everyone plays everyone so will get a better sense in the fall. If arlington plays their first team then they respect you, second team, they don’t care. Also, “owns pre ecnl” relative to the other horrible FVU teams, sure. At some point you will get that the FVU alliance means nothing when your kid is RL or aspire next year because no one cares about the team, only the players that tryout.

People that stay at Valor 4 years may not be the most discerning customers. Not sure if they are aware what level teams they are playing or the product they are receiving.

They don’t have enough girls and the VPSL league would not them put just boys in. Not sure what that means for ECNL RL next year if they have that same rule for U13 and up.

All of this is true. Valor does not emphasize technical skills at all. Their most successful team (2013 boys who are all gone now) was full of talented kids who would have done well anywhere and/or were doing outside training. Many Valor coaches rely on kids who are fast and athletic, which doesn’t work as well for 11v11 or against the truly skilled teams.

"They'll take the best players" hmmm... how are those teams doing.

They will take the best players that show up to their tryout.

Most times the teams are known well in advance of tryouts. For my club, they know who they are taking and many of us know where are kids stand. FVU is definitely speaking with the feeder teams and coaches in the area to get an 80% picture before tryouts. It is well proven that tryouts mean little.

On the boys side at least, FVU has been having trainings with U12 players nominated by their coaches. But not all of those who have been invited to train were invited to play with the FVU team at that tournament they did. I think that was mostly BRYC players. I assume the boys U13 FVU team next year will be a lot of BRYC, maybe some VYS, maybe a couple others sprinkled in.

Give it a rest. I’m sure the kids at your club are all farting out rainbows and bicycle kicks.

Sorry you don’t like hearing it. Have fun doing nothing but passing drills and watching your kid and their teammates lose the ball in every 1v1 situation.

Where did the girls without a team head to?

I think they put their. teams into NCSL instead for U11/12.

Why so salty? Everyone --everyone-- knows Valor is just a convenient option (that takes everyone who wants to play) for non-soccer people. No one considers it a respectable club where kids get good training. And that's ok! Its clearly filling a market niche.

That is what they did for the boys. I think the boys teams are playing up in spring. For girls there is no team at all in NCSL for U12. Looks like one for U11. A few U12 girls might be playing up on the U13 RL team.

There are a lot of clubs in the area besides Herndon such as Loudoun, Sterling, GFR, Valor. Herndon seems to be known as a place where they care more about the boys teams so girls who want to be more serious look elsewhere.

Everyone here is trashing Valor but they fail to answer the one question posed to them over and over again -- on the girls side (for the rising ECNL players) what club inside the FVU alliance is stronger than Valor... I've patiently waited for any of you to answer that. You are all very brave to trash Valor but not one of you losers mentions what loser team your DD plays for. Don't be shy -- go ahead and mention the name of your "amazing" team when you trash the top pre-ecnl girls squad around.

I’d say Vienna and Volleyball bare the top 2 on the girls side if you look across all ages. BRYC, VIVA, LMV and HYS are distant third.

Vienna is good at volleyball? At least that’s something because they are trash at the girls soccer pre ecnl level. And BRYC , Viva la vida, LMV are just as bad. HYS can’t even field a team for pre ecnl girls. LMAO

Thank you for the good laugh Vienna parent. I needed that. Much like you needed Valor to save your alliance.

Won’t they just do ID sessions and not be limited to players from the alliance clubs?

The FVU coaches may be looking at girls from the feeder clubs right now, but yes if someone better comes to ID sessions they aren’t going to have any loyalty to feeder club players. The Valor parent here is maybe missing that point. It doesn’t matter what the win loss record of the feeder clubs is. If girls from McLean, GFR, VRSC, or even one of the bad VPSL teams are better they will take them. In 9v9 you can get wins with just a few players being really good. Doesn’t mean the whole team is ECNL level and doesn’t mean there aren’t some good individual players on the other feeder teams who aren’t better than half the girls on Valor.
