What if your team's coach players to one players strengths and ignores the other 10 on the field + 6 on the bench? |
Well. RU 2009s doing something right. Coming back home to Richmond for the 3rd time in 4 years. Winner on PKs against FC Dallas. |
Their coach was the NVA 2009 coach last year when they won the conference. |

It’s a team sport and not performing on a national platform is a result of not playing as a team. Some coaches are so hungry for a win, they lose touch with what matters. They advance certain kids for the wrong reasons. PP stating this isn’t what’s wrong with greedy club soccer. In actuality nothing more than rec soccer of yesterday. |
Yep, he’s the coach, but team really has stayed together without a lot of turnover and adds. Makes a difference IMO. |
This is a good example,of a coach that chases teams. |
Nope but good guess |
What the heck happened to the 2012 team? |
Tough bracket for them and also didn’t perform well. |
Soccer clubs are a business. It's their job to cater to their customers, to retain and attract new customers. It is not their job to put their best team forward and play as a team like a professional club. The players join the team so they can attend ECNL events and showcase their skills in front of college coaches with the goal of getting recruited to play in college. ECNL is a college showcase platform and the only way to participate is to join a club team. We pay $1000s for the showcase opportunities not for team performance. |
One of several teams in MA/NA skirting the rules on girls playing with boys. Did not want to get DQed like others. Others got away with. |
VDA and Courage 2008s through! |
What does this mean? That Richmond didn't use some of its players who had been playing for the 2012 team as well as playing for boys teams at the same time and presumably they are super talented and that impacted Richmond's competitive ability? |
NVA —- TD listed his daughter on the NVA 2012 team roster and claimed she’s a 2029, but she’s actually a 2033. Go figure. |
