I am behaving in a responsible manner for someone seeking out information to help his DD make an informed decision about where to go next. That being said, your comment is very insightful and that is not the first time I have heard such comments about MYS coaches. As a counter, I have spoken to non-ECNL coaches who compete against McLean and have respect for both coaches.

To be fair, I can't point to an ECNL coach who is recognized for developing players from the ground up. Hence, the reason most ECNL players come from outside the club. What most ECNL coaches do is take talent, win showcases and prepare players for college. It is hard to argue that anyone does this better than MYS.

Look at how many kids started at the club and end up having their signing day there. That helps with who develops. There might be one with McLean from the start. Who said they don’t deserve respect? What’re you looking for? Multiple posters have said the same thing. Clyde is great and Nadir has had success. We will see how they do in the new landscape. No denying their past success.

What is your point? Do you want to heR everyone talk about great your dd’s coaches are? That’ll never happen here. Better question might be who the best girls coaches are in the area.

If you ask the question who is the best girls coach it has to come in questionaire form.
Example;
1. What Coach is best for ages U9
2. Who coaches possession best
3. Who coaches form
Pick a coach not the club. Clubs are businesses. Your kid is just dollar signs. Every player is replaceable, not every coach.

Pick a club that will take care of your player and help them develop. If you pick a coach, you might be looking for a new team every year.

If you're a parent, in addition to your child trying for the club, the club should being trying out for you (and has over the past season --- unless you are newbie).

Consider:

League options - doesn't matter what skill level your at make sure they got something that's appropriate for your situation
Coaching - who is coaching your kid next year and what are their priorities
Fields - are practices cancelled everytime it rains
Stability - current and future viability of the club
Communication - do keep you in the loop regarding changes

I'm not saying you need to change clubs when the winds blows, but don't let the club off the hook for poor performance --- you're paying for your kids experience

They don’t need players for their DA teams. Recruiting is done from their second team, hence Development Academy.

Well their parents say they are. That makes it true.

They are definitely the best at fighting eachother on the sidelines. The parents that is.

Kettle black? Some of your ECNL coaches are known for their brawling.

FCV parents fighting on sidelines at a showcase .... hmm

This is silly. You all know what teams are good, have potential, or needs a lot of work. The stats are online. Interpret them how you want. The point is college exposure and recruitment. Try to get on a team with a good profile where you can play. It will attract more attention. A team that will make national playoffs at U16 and above is idea.

Has nothing to do with a league. Fcv is a club. A club where parents physically assault eachother on the sidelines. That has nothing to do with DA or ECNL. Just entitled parents thinking the world owes them something because they pay more money than anyone else in NOVA.

No but a pattern of behavior that has sustained through player, coach, and parent changes does.

There was enough talent for both McLean and FCV to have strong HS age teams. Now NOVA ECNL is watered down. Your strongest club in NOVA is still FCV. McLean, BRYC, and VDA each have 1 really good team. McLean and BRYCs 1 really good teams are because of recruiting. VDA is because of development. Unfortunately for VDA they will eventually lose their best players to FCV, McLean and BRYC.

On May 1!

Why would those players leave for those clubs though? Didn’t vda just get into ecnl? Not trolling.

After 1 year with the DA.
Each team has 1 or 2 really good players. Parents want them to be on teams where they are being challenged.

So they would leave and go to teams they’re beating? Someone’s kid didn’t make a VDA on this forum.

Basically!

Getting back on track...

Who are the top girls coaches in the area?

[Anonymous]

you might want to divide that into different categories:
U9-U12
U13-U16
U17+

Developmental coach or performance coach -

Some coaches are good at developing players, other coaches are good at getting results (winning).

BWAHAHAHAA! They are desperate for your DDs. Get back on the turnip wagon.

For example, high school coaches are performance coaches.

For its U19 team, FCV posts how long its DA players have been with the club and each player's college commitments. I have no firsthand experience with FCV. For anyone who wants to see it, check it out at https://www.fcvirginia.com/roster/show/4297624?subseason=524678.
