Any thoughts on this club formation / system question?

Thoughts on what VDA says they do or what they actually do?

You have to understand that the results for VDA this year are not typical. When BP left FCV and came over to VDA, many of the top FCV players followed him over to VDA, so they received an influx of good players, and essentially became a powerhouse because of it. Will that continue moving forward? Time will tell, but the combined teams are very good.

Not entirely true. VDA was a top 20 ECNL club under the old director 2 years ago. Fell out of the top 20 last year and will be back in this year. The DCUM playbook on VDA is so boring.

You're saying that top FCV kids, who became starters at VDA across all the age groups, didn't propel VDA forward this year?

Obviously it propelled VDA forward. How could it not?

FCV parents always need credit, VDA was the worst club in the area until FCV rescued it. All hail FCV

Nobody said that, but if you think the FCV kids didn't greatly improve VDA across the board, you're just foolin' yourself. VDA+FCV > VDA.

For what?

Already VDA has Swanson (UVA) visiting games and recruited VDA players. Like UVA or not, but as a Virginia school this is good news for many young girls. Previously this was nearly impossible due to the sour nature of a coach and that university. Also BP has done a lot for USYNT considerations. He's building, it's been less than a year... be ready

1. UVA has yet to make the ACC tourney for years.
2. UVA is a good school - but a medium soccer college (for women)
3. Kids recruited to UVA from VA do not get high dollar scholarships.
4. Not so sure about BP and USYNT - that might be a years bullet on his resume. I believe he may have burned his bridges there.
5. VDA will be a success because of players and not because of BP. They were well on their way before he tainted the pool.

PS - No one knows why the other posts were removed.

THIS!!!!

UVA = school not soccer. Please set your sights a little higher. Thier last pro was a transfer from UCLA. Soccer school desitination ship has sailed.

VDA as an ECNL club is far better for girl than the boys. They have multiple USYNT players - starting - and a strong D1 presence on some of the best women's college teams. It's not perfect, but new coaches are doing their best to make VDA a premier destination for girls west of the metro area, and some from within dissatisfied with other DMV clubs.

Hi Bobby!

Could we start with what formation they play? 4-3-3 or 3-4-3? Different by coach / team? Say and do should be consistent on that.

I think that answer is no. Some of it depends on personnel some of it on coaches preference even without the personnel. Not really a possession style until they acquire the midfielders from other clubs lol.

What was explained and what actually gets implemented is two different things if you just watch them play across various age groups. Question is still valid
