I have no idea but I have imagine that LS and Arlington have way more customers as you put it across rec, travel and GA/MLS next. |
I don't know what he said but don't all clubs say that? And not just soccer clubs, every kids activity business says that. My kids gymnastics and Taekwondo businesses also said we were a family. Oh wait. Are you telling us you believe these businesses don't care about money?! You are gullible. How embarrassing for you. |
There are teams at every level and age group. Some players may have been placed on a different team in that age group, while others may have moved to another club; however, there are still teams at every age group and level. If you are going to pick apart VRSC, then the same things you are criticizing with them, you can apply to all clubs. Every club claims to be "a family" and "not about the money," but they all are about the money because they are also a business. |
That's not what I said. You need to read the words carefully. "VRSC has never had more paying customers" means there are more total teams and players at VRSC than last year because they added GA teams last year and MLSN2 teams for the coming year. "adding new customers faster than any other local club" means VRSC is adding teams and players more than others. LS and Arlington are not adding any new teams over last year. VRSC is growing the others are not. |
Ok sure. You had $10 and now you have $20. The other guys had $500 and still have $500. I guess you are the winner. |
Ok, reading carefully. "LS and Arlington are not adding any new teams over last year." How exactly and with what evidence did you use to make that incredibly insightful conclusion or did you just make it up Mr Read Words Carefully |
LS and Arlington have had the same number of color coded teams for a long time, typically with 5 travel teams per age group. This info is very easily found on the league websites. It’s also found on the club websites where they list the coaches by team. It’s common knowledge to anyone who has kids in travel soccer for a little while. You must be new. |
The soccer industry is fickle. A lot of players thought there would be progress but saw a lot of bad decisions being made as an undertone to the good growth in the club. If coaching doesn’t improve this year, you can expect an exodus for the top teams and talent. Players don’t want to go to showcases and have the coaches they invited see their team blow up in the first half. Add in clubs like VDA who didn’t live up to the expectations, there will be player shifts in the future. |
These is not a single player at VRSC 09 that would make VDA 09. Signed, Not a VDA parent |
On the girls side, there will be 7 clubs in the GA within driving distance . Recruiting players from other clubs will happen and there will be additional shifts as there are every year. Teams can either be improved or weakened based on moves made. . It will vary across teams and only takes a few players to shift the entire process at a particular age group. It also could be the result of a coach shift as well. There are also D1 committed players who may or may not play next year. The coaching staff at one club doesn't stand out above any other club. One player can make a big difference in the performance of a team including losing a player or gaining a player. A star center back or strker can easily impact outcomes.

So the way things have been will continue to be the way?
Everyone new to the scene thinks the latest changes will be permanent and *this* time will be different. It's silly. |
What’s important is that we have the best fields and a bar. We can also purchase any league or club competitor. That’s why we’re making Loudoun sell their dumpster property 🥹 |
Don't go around spouting all this sensible stuff! It will get ignored because these people thrive on the attempt at superiority, extreme opinions and formulated rumors 😂 |
Good lord, so sick of seeing and hearing this narrative!! No one is purchasing any league or club. Coaches and players are leaving all the time, moving from one club to another, and so on. The coaches go where their paychecks can increase, just like any other job. As for Loudoun, they put themselves in a position where they are landlocked and need to relocate. No one to blame but themselves. As for the bar and restaurant, some improvements from the owner of those would be nice (service, keeping things clean, and having enough food items, also being open at all times, there are games and practice). They are run by an outside person, not the club. |
Do you realize the only reason you keep hearing this narrative is because it triggers people like you and you respond? It's called trolling and you keep falling for it. Stop responding. |
