There's still a small chance. Nothing has officially come out from MLSN on adding LS but MLSN is known for not saturating the market. so unless they believe the quality of players is there for 2 MLSN teams in the county, that's the only way VRSC gets it too. MLSN does want to grow which is why they now have MLSN2.

The other option is for VRSC to go after the ECNL void left by LS joining GA. If they can't get ECNL or MLSN, the boys program won't grow. The boys that play for VRSC will be the ones who enjoy the game and aren't serious about playing in college.

LMAO, direktor put the bottle down bruh

Not many good boys at VRSC now anyway. If some leaves for mlsnext, it won't matter VRSC remains the top GA club. The partnership with MLS next and Adidas will make GA the top league for college and professional pathway just like da grew to be the NVA team will be gutted by this the ls team will also be weaker. Serious players will seal out VRSC GA.

Why will ga become top league? The pairing with MLS next and the adidas cup

Doesnt it make logical sense for VRSC to get MLSN eventually since they have GA? Its the only way for the boys side to survive. You already see the talent pool needs an upgrade and without a badge it wont get any better.

So many haters. Unreal. Maybe something positive to focus on would be the amount of women’s soccer talent in the DMV, and especially in the Loudoun County area. Not sure what the future holds, but GA and ECNL must realize that this is the hot bed. Why else would there be so much drama. Peeps…enjoy the ride.

The drama is about the money not the talent. There really isn’t a lot of talent. Most of the best potential gets out early. There’s no team play in the system. Those that actually learn team play are few and guess what, they get recruited. TSJ and VRSC coaches have success with this and as a result their players are sought. LS focuses on kids that are fast early which reinforces playing the wrong way. As they get older, they struggle. Pay to play gets in the way.

You can't be more right. I’ve seen this so often, it’s practically on replay. Once, an LS coach told me, “I can’t teach speed,” which was my light bulb moment that he might be in the “teaching” the wrong sport. Soccer is not like other sports; it is not just about speed and how big you are… Nothing will change until we, and yes, that includes nearly everyone here, stop obsessing over winning at the age of six and start focusing on genuinely developing athletes. And don’t get me started on the pay-to-play model and the endless leagues. Do we really need that many leagues? I know, I know... it’s all about Benjamins. In the end, there’s a fortune to be made in kids' sports.

THIS! LS will never get it. They say they do but they don’t.

What do your rev coaches teach that teams can go entire season with zero goals scored? Amusing!

TSJ as an example of good soccer? What are you smoking bro? Let me correct this for you.You mean FCV and FCV is dead.

This is an example of why LS parents just don’t get it. The older the players get, the worse they perform. LS saw some improvement in getting kids recruited…at least on the girls side, and what do they do? They shift again to the GA. They perceive that it’s the league that gets kids exposure and recruited. It’s not. It’s how they play. Kids with a lot of foot skills go nowhere if they cannot connect a pass. Nowhere. I’ve seen so many LS players with speed and do well at a younger age only to be left behind at the older age groups. Look at every high school top team at Loudoun soccer and ask yourself how many girls who were on the red team after academy are still on the top team when they are a junior in high school. Maybe two girls. The rest either quit or moved to another club. Take that inventory and you will see what they did wrong. Study Mcleans program if you want to learn how to develop players at early age groups. Teach passing skills and let the kids develop their foot skills on their own. Not everyone will be Messi. What Loudoun soccer does at early age groups actually damages those players for a lifetime. They can’t unlearn the wrong things they’ve been taught. As a coach, one of the most difficult things is to re educate a kid who has been taught one way and they can’t make the adjustment to the proper way. It’s a real skill if a coach can do this, especially within a girls program as it’s almost impossible to do and with ,any kids it is impossible.

LS is notorious for going big, fast, 'strong' (physical) from u-littles to dominate at younger ages. It all falls apart without outside talent carrying the older teams. You can only body check players off the ball and blast the ball down the field for the sprinter on the team for so long in soccer. And they get small d3 college placements let's be honest.

I know people in leadership there. They don't care about their girls program half as much as the boys and it shows to anyone without blinders on. They have a few decent coaches, maybe one excellent coach, and a bunch of subpar coaches.
