NOVA Soccer Coach here. I think it is utterly stupid to leverage this forum to figure out which team is the best. There are easy ways you can figure this information out. Go to GotSoccer, look at the rankings of the top 10 then identify the coach and look at the coach's experience. Then, go watch them play and see how the coach coaches the game and how the team plays. Look at the position where your kid likes playing and see what the coach asks of that position in the game. Even then it's hard to tell if the fit is going to be right or not.

Just reading GotSoccer rankings is not enough. For example FCV non/pre DA teams are generally playing a year up so FCV 06 United is all or almost all 07s. (You wouldn't know that from reading GotSoccer and you would go to the wrong game.)

Also need to know that going from 08 to 07 is when ECNL/DA starts so PWSI and VSA top players go to VDA etc.

Well, the rankings are based mostly on the previous year. Their playing up for one month has hardly impacted their rankings.

Good try but they were playing up last year too.

No the 08's did not play up last but the 07's did. The 08's played at age at U11.

Here are their game logs.

NOVA Coach here-

My post was directed towards the individuals who just moved here. GotSoccer would give a good feeling for the area. Also I said that it wasn’t enough as I told them to go to their games and what not. Also reality is if your player really is great, any team you go to that’s one of the top teams won’t matter. If you are really trying to leverage which is the top team so your player can “get seen” then your player probably stinks and it’s going to be a tough road for them if you have D1 aspirations.

If you are the parent of an 08 who lives in or near Loudoun County who is really great, you should check out FCV. My guess is their 08 DA team a year from now will be really great just like their 07, 06, 05 ... teams already are. Just saying.

I thought all their spots were taken already? Why would FCV need to scrounge on a forum for a player?

Coach here-

I would recommend FCV. I have no affilation to FCV but I know for girls it seems to be an excellent place to develop. Not sure about the environment though.

FCV 07s are mediocre, just look at their DA scores. This is the same team that used to get pummeled by Loudoun 07 which itself is a mediocre ECNL team. FCV no longer dominates below U15. At 06 and 07 the ECNL teams are the strongest around here. Harsh reality. The FCV 07/08 parents love this board and talking their DDs up.

Just pick a club, if your kid sucks they suck. If your kid is good they change the team.

Neither FCV 07 DA or Loudoun 07 ECNL has lost a game yet. Not sure what scores you are looking at? Loudoun 07 did lose one player to FCV 07 this year and likely will lose more players in the future to FCV.

That path has been a two way street with FCV and Loudoun since Loudoun was awarded ECNL. Don't presume FCV kids won't freely go to Loudoun.

The best FCV 07 DA player came from Loudoun this year which shows FCV is a recruiting club.
