Thank Jim for buying out coaches, players, and league spots. Funny how nobody at VRSC is gloating about their boys being bottom of the barrel in NCSL D2 and D1. I wonder why… but hey we have MLS tier 2 aka ASSPIRE for males |
It’s hard to argue with the year over year improvement in the GA girls teams at Rev compared to last year’s u13+ black teams. I doubt what you’re describing actually happened, but if it did it's indicative of a very thin bench. My guess is that the GA teams have attracted some depth for next season based on the solid first year results, which will make it harder for bad behavior to continue (if it’s even happening). |
Last year’s girls teams were just as bad as this year’s boys teams, but they made enormous progress this year with the introduction of GA. Sure, that was fast forwarded by taking on big parts of FCV, but I suspect the boys teams will make similar progress over next 2-3 years. |
The GA teams are all brand new players and coaches. The girls Black teams are still there and are still bad. There are no GA players from the Black teams. The same will happen on the boys side. The new MLS tier 2 teams will not be made up from current VRSC players, but newly recruited players. It's great progress for the club but don't credit player development for anything. It's all from recruiting of new players and coaches. |
Exactly, which will rub current black team parents the wrong way, as evidenced by the southern bell on this thread. But it’s just not reasonable to expect teams that are performing the way Rev’s black teams perform to make GA or MLSN2 teams. The club has to recruit from outside. In time, they will recruit better ulittles based on those teams, who then actually can be developed into players for those teams. |
So WHATS EXACTLY is VRSC or what does IT OFFER different from say NVA, SYC, FVU or Arlington or Alexandria? |
Not sure which team your DD is on but the best players on my DDs team are original Rev players. Next best players are not the original FCV players either. |
Nothing different honestly. Also, not all GA players are new. That's fake news. |
Confirmed fake news. But it’s also fake news that the best players are from old VRSC black teams, unless you’re talking about the U19 and possibly U17 teams, which have fewer FCV players. At this point, it doesn’t matter where the GA players came from, they’re all VRSC now. But that inaugural season recruiting hstory is instructive of what will need to happen on the MLSN2 side for them to achieve the kind of success the GA teams have this year. |
Good grief when are you all going to get past this crap of Jim buying everyone off and buying league spots. Face it VRSC did what MLS asked them to do to get teir 2. Also, not all the boys teams are at the bottom in NCSL. Have you looked at the 09B Black team playing up an age group and at the top of U17 D1? There is talent at VRSC but absolutely none of the haters are going to ever admit it. |
Just checked the 09 black. lol. 3 wins against the bottom teams. Seriously? That's your golden team? And BTW, it is NCSL calm down. |
Cool. Just stop emailing coach asking for your dd to play a different position. Thanks |
They only lay NCSL in the spring. The season just started and they are playing up an age group in the top division, give them a break and some credit or is that asking too much. Oh, right you’re a hater so it is. |

The problem with these exchanges is that you’re starting at two entirely different points of reference. The MLSN/ECNL/GA dad’s kid is playing on a team that might be top 20 in the country and probably is at least somewhere in the top 100, while the NCSL dad’s kid is playing on a team that might break the top 1000 and might not even be top 2000. Both teams may have very similar success in their league games and tournaments in terms of wins and losses, but they are playing entirely different games. Incidentally, the 2009 black team is over-performing relative to most Rev boys teams because they have an exceptional coach. Someone earlier in this thread asked what’s different about Rev. Besides the quality of the home complex, I’d say the quality of a number of their coaches. Their GA staff (which next season will include that 2009 boys coach) is arguably the best girls staff in the DMV. The fact that they’re coaching teams well below their level is indicative of their belief that Rev is building something worth being a part of. |
