Clarification. It appears favoritism in soccer on the girls side is insane here in VA. I was wondering if there is any club that keeps politics out of equation allowing for better opportunities to make it to the higher levels Guess I want to know the best clubs to join politics free and the ones to stay away from?

You think it doesn’t exist on the boys’ side ? Look at the USMNT. It starts young.

I am sure it happens on both, however I have a girl so I am wondering if anyone has an input on which club does it at all right

Stay away from VDA and FCV

I have heard about VDA being horrible but Can you tell me why for FCV?

VDA has clear favorites and it is PWSI heavy on the girls side (PWSI and VSA merged to make VDA) They have one coach (Awful) that talks in the other coaches ears and pushes the ones he wants playing, these players are at best just fast and physical but have no technical ability or soccer IQ. FCV has the same it’s totally pay to play over there and the parents that are rich call the shots. Both FCV and VDA keep sending the same players to all these training centers that never go to the next level and over look the real talent due to there never ending politics and pushing agenda. Go out and watch some of there games I promise you will see what I am referring to. Mostly on the VDA side however you will see players play full games with no vision losing the ball over and over again and playing kick ball. exception for them is the 06 team they have a great team all the others are losing or squeaking by due to their midfielders being awful and coaching politics. Nothing changes on either team so stay away unless you are a “favorite” you won’t get recognized. Go to bryc or McLean in my opinion they play there best no matter who it is and except the girls to earn play which at this level is what it should be. Every club has there issues but those two clubs in my opinion are the worst. Hope that helps! Good luck!

So which VDA coach cut your superstar DD?

Quan is why we left. Total asshole to the kids he doesn’t like. BFF to parents and kids he likes.

I agree. super arrogant and will "requires" lots of HP Elite money coming his way to get to the pitch.

I think Quan, like many other coaches, have a preconceived idea in their head of a what a soccer player should look like.
If your kid doesn't fit that mold, he doesn't have much time for them, and he doesn't look to take advantage of their strengths.
I've seen this from several coaches on different teams.

Coaches who run or are associated with "external" training companies always run the risk on being called for conflict of interest.
And whether its true or false, it comes with the decision that they've made to make money on the side.

Quan didn't like my kid and didn't do much for her. Other coaches with different philosophies and styles did.
I don't think he's a bad guy or a jerk, and many swear by his training, but it is the way he is.

Shop around if all the clubs say the same thing live with it.

What are you talking about? Simple question, can you answer it? Which clubs are politics free? If you can’t answer that don’t respond!

Based on your response your problem might be in the mirror.

There is some deeper wisdom in this that the post was just touching on. Coaches who have had success, and Quan is a successful coach, tend to look for the similar traits in players that had been previously successful. Often times these coaches look for comparable clones of players in the past. These see traits in kids that have proven to have or have not worked in the past. They know what they like in a player and they are not very willing to change.

I think Quan looks for straight up 1v1 confidence and skills. He is not a very tactical coach. He wants kids who are confident and creative with ball first and foremost.

He wants kids that sign up for summer session, fall session, winter session, spring session...all the sessions!

If your kids isnt creative with the ball, why... His training sessions for $650 will help them ! Yep there is a waiting list because there are very limited times for training. It's the same for all outside training groups.. fields, coaches etc very limited so ... waiting list.

My child just spent 5 weeks doing the exact same shots on goal at HP Elite. I have a back yard for that !

Stop being salty...the best kids in the area train there. Next time you go to a training session...see how many PWSI kids are there compared to other clubs. You'll notice that HP mostly attracts FCV, Loudoun, Mclean, etc. HP Elite is rarely spoken about at PWSI (likely to avoid the conflict you imply) and even as a club member you tend to hear about it through the grapevine. There are plenty of kids who have never been to HP that play the whole game.

BRYC has no politics. Kids work hard for playing time. If they need help coaches will meet with them and help.

I did not realize PWSI kids could afford HP.

Yeah OK. Bryc is 99% politics . They continue to ride the wave from the boys team a few years ago the was actually good. But don't let them fool you with the work hard and we will develop you BS.
