Funniest thing I have read all day. KL is actually one of the worst coaches/directors in the DMV. I’ve heard some crazy stories about him…SC has had more red cards, fights with other coaches, and can’t control his parents from insulting teenage girls from opposing teams. He was not able to turn around the 07s last year and the 12s are struggling as of late. KL hasn’t turned around the 09s either. I’ll give you VDA though. Hate BP all you want but he is excellent. The other VDA coaches are better than anyone at Bethesda. FVU used to one of the best before the mergers. Arlington coaches seem to be up and coming if they can keep them. NVA is awful for coaching. Maybe even worse than Bethesda or SYC. FVU is just confusing and all over the place now. VRSC Girls coaches are probably 2nd in the area. It’s too bad they won’t get the talent that ECNL gets. |
Cope harder troll. I can't decide if you're staff from a local club or a disgruntled parent who's kid who is stuck on a second team elsewhere. I hope it is the later; because hey, little Jimmy or Jill is second fiddle there! 😂🎻 The coaching overall after being at numerous clubs in the area for years is better than most. The player development is better as well. In a few years Rev can easily eclipse a lot of the local clubs. |
How cute you think you know our roster for next year. |
As a parent of a GA player at VRSC, I wish the club had been able to get this news out earlier. Probably too late to meaningfully help rosters for 2025-26. |
I guess this is why Loudoun decided to sell their fields.
I don't see how this benefits the non-first team players at either club. |
This doesn't make sense to me because they still have the same number of kids with Loudoun and VRSC combined, so why are they getting rid of so much field space? |
Who is getting rid of field space? The combination is between VRSC and Loudoun United—the professional team, not the unrelated Loudoun Soccer Club youth program. |
Do you think that girls rosters would add players because Revolution is now affiliated with a failing minor-league men’s professional team? |
Combined, not affiliated. VRSC is the only club in the DMV that goes from ulittles to USL Championship professional club. Loudoun United was already close to DC United, and there is ownership overlap with DC Power FC, so it’s not hard to envision VRSC adding a women’s professional team to their pathway in short order. So, yes, I absolutely do think yesterday’s news will prompt players who previously wouldn’t have considered VRSC to give them a look. Within Loudoun County, why would anyone choose Loudoun GA over VRSC GA now? NVA will continue to have stronger teams for the time being, but I don’t see that being the case 3 years from now. |
I’m sorry. Thought this was a DMV discussion. You’re right on this. VRSC will be top club in Loudoun County in the next 3 years. That has nothing to do with professional teams, though. I’m an outsider watching from another county. It is impressive to see what the club has been able to do over the last five years. |
Hopefully they can get some better talent. VRSC cant compete with the big clubs in the area girls or boys. |
Quick flashy fix - it’s what rich folks do
Usl championship (Loudoun utd’s team) is not going to be 2nd tier of pro soccer in USA. USL announced a new structure and USL-C will be the third tier. VRSC won’t tell you this. Loudoun UTD won’t either but at least now they have a sucker who will absorb their 7 digits losses. As a previous poster noted, VRSC gained an extra field but nothing else. Almost 10 years later not one single male or female player has been produced by the club worthy of mention |
lol the haters be hating |
+1 |
The highest level U13+ boys locally play at NVA, VDA, DCU (and out of town MLS academies), Bethesda, SYC, Alexandria, Baltimore Armour, Arlington, Achilles, etc. Local players not able to make an MLSN/ECNL roster have shown they would rather drive to WV to play on a doormat MLSN team than play at Revolution. The caliber of player/teams at the top local MLSN/ECNL teams is 2-3 levels above Revolution. Have a look at a schedule and catch a match. Sounds harsh, but Revolution is irrelevant to anyone outside of Leesburg and maybe Ashburn. No player or parent will choose Revolution over any top MLSN/ECNL club.
Merging with a USL club and maybe a girls pro club down the road doesn't move the needle at all. |
