You cant make this up. There is so much money going around that anyone can get a piece.

And FCV was propped up by South County and Ashburn.

You lost all crediability with that. Do better and learn history

So their feeder partner clubs were never Ashburn and South County?

Nope.

Any other questions

You might want to check your history

You must 1st understand the difference between FCV ECNL and FCV United.

FCV United was Terrys attempt to field non-ecnl teams while building the club revenue and acquiring fields. The coalition didnt last long.
Everything changed when Evergreen opened.

Also known as feeder clubs. They needed non-profit for fields and they took over Ashburn to be a youth Pipeline. FCV ECNL stayed independent and for profit but Ashburn became FCV United to feed the ECNL side.

How is that different than Metro sitting on top of GFR?

Is anyone happy with FCV? This would be a club we would consider for our dd. Does Coach Bobby coach every team? If he does I din’t Know how this would be possible. Is anyone happy with him? Can I hear some positive feedback? I am full up in the negative. Something has to be good.

We are happy at FCV. If DA, coaches rotate so you get a variety, including Bobby. He’s a great coach. Don’t let the board trolls fool you. He’s not a friend though, he’s a coach. He does keep it light sometimes, he does kick it around with the girls including demonstrations. Some like him, some don’t. It varies. He’s not a National Team coach because he can’t coach. MU parents are bitter. I’ve seen many, many that were not offered and begin disrespecting the club and coaches.

Christian, Bobby, Marvin, Emma, Gus are all exceptional coaches with more history of playing and coaching education than ANY club in DMV.

Congratulations to those girls. This is an example of a super team formed when there were only 2 club options for top level soccer in the area. The talent used to be very concentrated. For the younger girls the talent is spread across 6-7 DA/ECNL teams.

A factor to consider here is where would these girls have gone to school without soccer? Many of them may have gone to same level school for other reasons (academics or connections of parents or their private high schools). McLean soccer is full of very well connected families and many of these families have many college options for their kids regardless of sports. Point being that lists like these don’t always tell the whole story especially when the application is very strong in other facets than sports.

This is not Varsity Blues. UNC, UVA, Georgetown, Princeton and Wisconsin do not recruit you unless you can help them win an NCAA title. If Obama's daughter couldn't get on Harvard or Princeton's team no matter how strong the Obama connections are. At this level, you need to be a stand out player. Obviously, academic institutions like Harvard, Columbia and Princeton require strong academics but connections only go so far. Playing and standing out on an elite ECNL team is the main driver. This is not about going to school. This is about going to school and playing for an elite NCAA DI team that will compete for the championship.

You need to throttle down a little bit. This isn't football or basketball we're talking about.
While you can use soccer as a hook to get into an Ivy or other top academic institution, you can't get in without being able to do the work (or least seem like you can do the work).
Winning a soccer championship doesn't move the needle much for an institution; therefore, schools (especially those with high academic standards)aren't going to go for a "riskier" athlete to play soccer no matter how elite their ECNL team was.

You are a complete moron. Please move on to other forums and try to educate. As for this forum, you have proven yourself to be inept at understanding college sports. Sorry but college coaches at most DI program are building programs to win titles. Some schools have to do so with other requirements, i.e. academics (Ivies, Stanford), Service (Service academies) or religion (ND and BYU). It is assumed that players can meet the basic qualifications but to get a sport on the team, they need to be able to play. Your comment that this kids would have gotten in without having played soccer at the ECNL level is asinine at best. Princeton, Harvard, Air Force, UNC, UVA and UW are not giving up a lot on the team because some applicant can kick a ball. The caches of these teams are flying out to to the ECNL/DA playoffs to find girls who can play. If the girls can meet the academic or other requirements then they get recruited. To assume that Dorrance at UNC is not recruiting to win another NCAA title just makes you foolish. Please go away.

Tamper your ego bro. I was agreeing with you until your went off the deep end again with the promotional.

FCVs body of work can speak for itself. Same for other clubs. Everything else is lip service.

What is the story with him telling a player they were an embarrassment to the DA? I heard Gus yells curse words at his players. Are these stories true or made up by the trolls?

The poll back questioning whether or not Bobby was actually posting mentioned his prestigious coaching license that only 14 coaches have.

Well they must have been psychic because he just tweeted out just receiving it. LOL

And this is why FCV gets trashed.
