Alright you guys convinced me. I will update everyone tomorrow. Sending emails to all the ecnl coaches in the area. Maybe my DD can crack the starting line up somewhere since all the colleges she has been emailing aren’t responding because she isn’t starting 90% of the games. |
Pretty sure FCV trains every night and BP wouldn’t be posting here now during training. Mikey on the other hand, he might be in the bushes on his phone typing and grunting. |
Smart choice. She won’t make D1 coming off the bench at FCV. Never happens. |
MU cancelled practice this evening due to possible storms - nothing happened |
One of the few in this thread who get it. That’s exactly the right point. |
Actually, he probably has Gus or Marvin coaching for him while he interviews for his next gig. CZ would coach but he’s too busy helping Richie coach the Spirit. In other FCV news, big parent meet and greet with the TSJ folks happening on June 8. They will offer them a “special membership, offer exclusive to TSJFCV families.” Hopefully, they give the parents a coupon and don’t make them pay the standard $20 for a soggy hamburger before they try to sell them a gym membership. Meanwhile, I hear Gus will be coaching the ‘05 DA team next year due to parental complaints about Le Pup. Of course he’ll also be coaching the non-DA 05/06 team and a couple older boys teams, and DCU futsal, and Puma Elite futsal. Not to mention his personal STBW training business. Dude is busy. |
Must be exhausting to be this envious of everything and everyone. |
The PP was laughing at you. The funniest part is you are so narcissistic that you don’t know the difference. |
This thread is comedy gold!
So many that really have NO clue about FCV, showcases, recruiting, training... |
It is real simple. The soccer talent is getting less concentrated with each rising graduation year due to more and more “elite” options. In a very short period of time it will no longer be enough just to be on a FCV DA team. When it was just McLean and FCV being kid 15 still meant you were kid 30 all of NoVA. Going forward being kid 15 at FCV or ANY DA/ECNL club means you are now kid 100-120 in NoVA. This is the simple product of dilution. So if your kid is a rising U13/14 and you’re kid is not a top 5 player or at least a starter on the team then you should be thinking about a future change where you can become a starter. DA has not yet separated itself as the elite league either to bail your career sub out either. |
I strongly disagree with your statement. But you know, opinions are like ______. |
Opinions are like you? |
Top 5 player is a bit extreme. As long as title IX exists they’ll be plenty of money to throw at young people looking to play college ball. Being on FCV DA is an attractive option for the kids and parents choosing colleges based on soccer, whether you’re player 1 or player 18. Being on another area DA team or ECNL team is also attractive, but probably only if you start or play significant minutes. It boils down to the quality of the player mostly, with some factors such as coaching connections, and team success mixed in. The one thing to be wary about with FCV for the kids at 05 and younger is the coaching and club instability over the next few years. The older kids will be fine. The younger ones are at some risk, but will also likely be fine given their talent, their parent’s wealth, and the ability to switch to a different situation if needed thanks to the numerous options here in the metro area. |
You must be a coach if you would say with a straight face that being a sub is better than being a starter. Because that is in fact what you are stating. |
