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?

Not a coach, director of college placement

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.

Not worth bragging about FACTS

You have another first year VA GA club with similiar if not better results and they don't even have an active thread at the moment. Makes senses cause there is nothing to talk about.

MP is great. Coaches are showing up because they know certain coaches develop players to play at a higher level. Style of play and game is are essential. Kicking the ball and running at top speed to get to it does nothing in college or the pros.

You are completely wrong. If a team's attack is stalling out in the opponents midfield playing a long ball over the midfield can be an extremely effective tactic.

Also, on the counter attack a team will be moving fast, and passing the ball quickly into space for a teammate to run onto the pass.

All football isn't tika taka with 25 sideways and backward passes. Playing fast and direct can be quite useful at times. Ask the USWNT. The Japanese team won the She Believes Tournament by playing fast and direct attacking football.

Some teams, even professional teams, are built to play this way. But, you've just shown us you have no idea what you are talking about.

I wish I knew as much about soccer as you. Please teach us more.

Yes, SOMETIMES there are breakaways. The rest of the time there is a soccer game. Last year (previous year). USWNT lost because they didn't play as a team. The other team was much more balanced and won in pks. The majority of games are won with patience, passing and teamwork. Rarely is it due to speed, but since you know it all, don't bother paying attention.

Its ok to be wrong. It's how you learn. You were wrong. Like 95% of the people here, you can't accept it. When shown to be wrong you just make an attempt at mocking instead of accepting it or maybe explaining why you think what you do.

Liverpool have been using the long ball quite a bit this season under Slot. They are basically running away with the league. Bournemouth are top 10, much higher than anyone would have expected. They also use a long ball game.
Teams don't just do it to hit the opponents on the break. Some managers incorporate it into their game.

So why exactly coaches are recruiting fast, tall players? BTW,I agree with you. Players should have Soccer IQ and technical skills but instead coaches prefer fast/tall players. Make it make sense, please.

Oh, of course she is! Let me guess, the players she trains privately are now starters on the VSCR teams? And wait, here’s another wild guess—they all used to play for FCV. Tell me I’m wrong! Heck, those FCV girls even ended up as team captains, playing full games from day one. Ain't that just peachy?

Let’s calm down here. She is a great person and who knows which if any of those GM stories are true.
