1. Roster size for younger age group is too large.
2. Cost is high and then in middle of season they asked for additional money for adding a tournament. You would think the 23rd player's fees would of covered this cost.
3 Zero feedback or player evaluation.
4. Communication overall is poor(This is being nice)
5. Coach is there because of his daddy is the director.
6. Multiple coaches listed on website but only one is there. They had a good goalie coach but he left mid season. No substitution was provided.
7. No scrimmages. This shows lack of effort. There were large gaps of play this year due to the weather and no scrimmages were offered. It was a new team and zero scrimmages were done prior to the year starting.
8. Practices are not developmental or tactical. Basically running and rondo.
No video review (This is typical for most clubs but what is the point in having VEO if we are not reviewing the tape.)
Bare minimum provided.


Avoid FVU boys side. They will keep ECNL due to girls side and ECNL will be scared about recent team losses. You are better off going somewhere else.

no they wont. ECNL values boy side more. You cant keep on having 1-3 wins a season and have negative 30-50 goal differential. It’s down right embarrassing and ENCL it going to have issues with it.

This is the reason NO ONE from the 2013 current McLean (pre-ECNL) team is going to FVU. Guaranteed!
Upcoming 2013 FVU (U13) will be mostly BRYC kids and some Valor kids.

seriously - having done brave and FVU, we are done getting screwed by that trash "organization". There is nothing they can do to fix that mess except end it all together.

I was at the tryout this weekend. What a mess this club is. Thank you to everyone that shares their experience here. Stay away!

This whole FVU thing is not working. It is all brave 2.0 with too many members in the Union and every year drama.

Also not with some of the players they were picking up. Some of the best kids in the tryouts were ignored.

It's mind blowing why you would keep so many returning players if you were only able to win 1 game. You might have 2-5 players worth keeping, but to keep the majority of the roster and ignore outside talent is a key indicator that the coaches can't spot talent.

most likely bc the better players are leaving for next season and the ones they got to sign up for the poo show from the outside are the ones who can't make other ECNL or MLSN teams.

100%
Coaches need to get paid so they need to keep the players that are willing to stay. With that in mind, I could see next season being worse.

If all the current top players are leaving to top ECNL or MLS teams. Who will fill their spots?
You need to ask yourself, why would a talented player that could play in a better team would want to go to FVU?
The only reason I could see is because of logistical convince, other than that I don’t see it.

With return to the office fvu will be the best option to many families. Other clubs far away from FFX have benefited from remote work families being able to drive their kids by 4pm.

Does the 2010 group provide a good experience?

Just because they have won the most games of any team does not make for a good experience. Still the same culture. Still the same lack of communication. Still the excessive roster. Still the crappy training, etc etc. Read the two threads on FVU boys. GM is still in charge and KJ is his pawn.
