Alexandria has a style. I've never had a kid there, but every time we've played them they've been true to their style of possession and playing out of the back at every level.

I know...soon the howling monkeys will fly in with complaints about their TD's salary. Whatevs.

For some teams, it’s not consistent across the club. I’ve seen a lot of long ball from them as well as other clubs.

My experience is that clubs typically don’t have a style, only coaches do. Hence the inconsistency within clubs. Don’t go to a club, go to a coach and a team.

What person comes on a board and lauds a program who doesn’t have a kid in it? The TD must be working hard on trolling/marketing on DCUM to get the Alexandria reputation up so he can extract more shekels from the locals... maybe Tommy will come back under his NOVA soccer coach handle, or is just now the anonymous ‘coach here...’?

PP here.

Don't see where I "lauded" the club. More like "described" it. Congrats on being the first flying monkey.

I don't have a kid in Alexandria, but I respect their style of play.

Only the girls side BRYC BN has any style of play. The boys side is clueless or just part of the great money grab.

My kids plays for Alexandria because we live there. I like the club overall but I wish they would allow for a bit more creativity than always and uniformly expecting the kids to play 100 percent within the possession/playing out of the back structure.

The only creativity at Alexandria is with getting parents to fork over more money. Stop wasting your time there.

Which has the best club:
Vienna

For what? Boy? Girl? Top players? Where do you live? And most importantly, what’s age? We have been at three of these clubs with various children at various ages.

From that group - Alexandria. I would take Arlington ahead of any of them though.
