At least one of these coaches has long track record of training to D1 level development. What are you looking for as credentials? I’d say that’s pretty good. Already, in less than a year there are teams qualifying for nationals.

I'm sure you can find one example of literally anything. I'm just saying credentials are great on paper, but many times do not actually translate to "good" coaching. It is more common that they aren't good than they are good. At the end of the day, it is a marketing tool and not a guarantee of anything.

No one said the three VRSC GA coaches are good because they have good certifications. They are exceptional coaches relative to NVA’s and LS’s GA coaches because of the sum of their various experiences. Look at their resumes, where they played, where they coached, in what roles and for how long. Ask the club to connect you with some of their former players. Talk to the coaches themselves. Then do the same for NVA / LS coaches. For people who do their own research, it’s an easy decision.

And you wrote this with a straight face?

Yup. But ultimately my opinion doesn’t matter, nor does yours. I’m encouraging players and their parents to compare the observable facts (starting with the resumes of all the GA coaches in Loudoun County) and then to go talk with those coaches and their former players and parents, and decide for themselves. If you believe, as I do, that coaching is the single most important factor, the choice is clear in Loudoun County.

They left FCV for what they called "better financial opportunities", dragging all their players along like a scene from a low-budget heist movie. It's fine, though, let’s not pretend it was for the noble cause of the kids' development or anything.

Nobody dragged anyone along. Many watched as the drama and lies of Adam unfolded. Many of us believed his charades at first, but in the course of time, one lie after another unfolded. Many were leaning on staying, but the truth set them free. It wasn’t an easy decision because rev had already made some offers to some who weren’t capable of competing in the ga. This was evident early on. While the process of moving to rev was not the best and still needs some correction, for many it was the best available decision.

you went from Adam's fairy tales to Direktor's blockbuster hits... LOL. Best of luck on your cinematic journey, my friend!

Look, there is already indications that VRSC will be the new TSJ. It may be in its early stages, but internal insights indicate there will be similar results for the players, even for current ones.

Well, bless your heart! It sounds like a mixed up a batch of FCV 2.0 and LS 2.0, and let me tell you, that ain't no sweet tea recipe. The only thing missing is a heaping spoonful of nepotism, but don't you worry, they've got their favorite kiddos and those oh-so-special parents who "started" the club. Add to that their rapid growth, and you've got yourself a business plan shakier than a cat on a hot tin roof. By the way, ever thought to Google the Direktor's business background? Go ahead, do yourself a favor and take a peek.

You’re clearly not connected to the club in any respect, as the exact opposite is happening. They’re not going to return to old FCV form overnight, but the trajectory is clear. All teams except graduating class already are solid mid-table or better and going from 1 to 6 GA teams in NOVA in just two years is going to break the ECNL-GA taboo for top players (they can’t all play on the remaining ECNL teams). Once that happens, top players are going to gravitate to top coaching, and it’s crystal clear where the top GA coaching slate is in NOVA.

One of the teams will compete in Nationals this year. Some of the players in are already getting serious interest from schools. At ne event, there were about ten top tier coaches there looking at several players. They may not be looking at this years class, but they are here looking. It’s not BP with all the connections. They are looking at HOW the kids play and the new MLSN director is one of the best in the country.

What are the other 5 teams doing?

Ok, sure. Let me go find all these coaches, all their the former players and parents for feedback. Shouldn’t take more than a week or so right. And coaching is not the most important factor but only one of many that makes a good player. If you think that true then good luck with that.

When it comes down to it, that doesn't mean they are a good coach. I like to see the certs and all that, but it's pretty meaningless if they aren't able to develop players.

At least one of these coaches has long track record of training to D1 level development. What are you looking for as credentials? I’d say that’s pretty good. Already, in less than a year there are teams qualifying for nationals.

I'm sure you can find one example of literally anything. I'm just saying credentials are great on paper, but many times do not actually translate to "good" coaching. It is more common that they aren't good than they are good. At the end of the day, it is a marketing tool and not a guarantee of anything.

No one said the three VRSC GA coaches are good because they have good certifications. They are exceptional coaches relative to NVA’s and LS’s GA coaches because of the sum of their various experiences. Look at their resumes, where they played, where they coached, in what roles and for how long. Ask the club to connect you with some of their former players. Talk to the coaches themselves. Then do the same for NVA / LS coaches. For people who do their own research, it’s an easy decision.

They left FCV for what they called "better financial opportunities", dragging all their players along like a scene from a low-budget heist movie. It's fine, though, let’s not pretend it was for the noble cause of the kids' development or anything.

Nobody dragged anyone along. Many watched as the drama and lies of Adam unfolded. Many of us believed his charades at first, but in the course of time, one lie after another unfolded. Many were leaning on staying, but the truth set them free. It wasn’t an easy decision because rev had already made some offers to some who weren’t capable of competing in the ga. This was evident early on. While the process of moving to rev was not the best and still needs some correction, for many it was the best available decision.

you went from Adam's fairy tales to Direktor's blockbuster hits... LOL. Best of luck on your cinematic journey, my friend!

Look, there is already indications that VRSC will be the new TSJ. It may be in its early stages, but internal insights indicate there will be similar results for the players, even for current ones.

You’re clearly not connected to the club in any respect, as the exact opposite is happening. They’re not going to return to old FCV form overnight, but the trajectory is clear. All teams except graduating class already are solid mid-table or better and going from 1 to 6 GA teams in NOVA in just two years is going to break the ECNL-GA taboo for top players (they can’t all play on the remaining ECNL teams). Once that happens, top players are going to gravitate to top coaching, and it’s crystal clear where the top GA coaching slate is in NOVA.

One of the teams will compete in Nationals this year. Some of the players in are already getting serious interest from schools. At ne event, there were about ten top tier coaches there looking at several players. They may not be looking at this years class, but they are here looking. It’s not BP with all the connections. They are looking at HOW the kids play and the new MLSN director is one of the best in the country.

What are the other 5 teams doing?

U13 4th place
U14 5th place
U15 3rd place but could rise to second when md teams finish their schedule
U16 1st place
U17 2nd place
U19 6th place

Note: this is the first year GA and they have at least one team competing in Nationals with potentially a second team competing in Nationals. The 2008 team have several players who have won states in their high school and will be recruited to a mid to top level D1 school. The 2009’s have several players who will be recruited to top level d1 schools…at least 2-3 players. Tech, Kentucky, Penn State, UVA have been at multiple games watching these several players. It’s not an assistant but the head coaches like Adair. The U19 team next year will be in line to finish 1st or 2nd place with several shoulder players and competing for national attention. You can discount the results all you want, but this club is about to take off. Not bad for a club that’s been around less than ten years and has a professional level facility. No other club in the area has such a great facility. Facts.

That's BP's connections. Don't think you'll get that at VSRC, and before you mention MP, why don't ya Google why she's at VSRC? Just take a peek, it's wicked interesting!

I don't see a single coach with the initials MP for Rev?
