NPL is not playing pre-season!!!!

The NPL games were sanctioned league games. There are standings and everything.

Two things happened.

FCV DA teams played in scrimmages. Scrimmages are pre-season.

FCV NPL teams played in league games over the weekend. Those scores are posted and the standings count. NOT PRE-Season.

They count towards a big nothing burger.

Nobody except parents and players of NPL follow NPL.

The future DA team age groups in NPL matters.

no, not really. things change so much from the U10/U11/U12 and onwards. doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things. OH SHIT- FCV U10 lost to richmond! They have no chance when they get to DA!!! gtfo

That argument worked 4+ years ago when there were not 3 DA and 4 ECNL clubs in NOVA but teams more than ever have to dance with who they brought. The Loudoun 07 team stayed in tact moving forward to ECNL. Expect that going forward. So posting -20 goal differential over a single weekend in future DA age groups says they have their work cut out for them moving forward.

Thats the exception, not the rule.

What is the exception? A -20 goal differential or 6 other elite club options when there was only two before?

FIFY - What is the exception? A -20 goal differential or 4 other club options when there was only two elite before?

Ok, regardless, -20 GD demonstrates a lack of core talent. Where are the players going to come from?

VSA, GFR, PWSI, Loudoun, McLean all have better teams at those ages. All have ECNL or DA options to feed into. How many of those teams players does FCV really expect to draw from if their teams are performing better?

Not many people leave a starting role on a good team for a starting role on a worse team.

I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

We have already seen it with Loudoun 07. How many outside kids joined FCV 07 DA? How many VSA kids left? How many PWSI? Did FCV draw in any McLean kids?

So where are the 09's, 10's going to come from for FCV?

I don't know how many outside kids joined FCV DA 07 OR how many VSA kids left OR PWSI or if FCV drew any McLean kids.

I do remember seeing the 07 tryouts and they had a lot more numbers than current 07s. There must have been around 75-100 kids out there.

At one time? For just 07?

Yes, they had 4-5 9v9 going at once and were rotating people in.

That never happened. What you saw was multiple age groups.

How many of those -20 goals came from the 08 Girls age group, which lost big? Do any of you realize that the 08G top team is actually playing 07 NPL (where they lost 6-5 to Richmond 07 in a well matched game.) So the 08 team lost big with their second team, to the Richmond 08 team which last year was at the top of 08 NPL. Not really an indication on the club performance as a whole if that's where the numbers are coming from.

So the true 08's are playing up against true B teams then. How did they fair?

And what is the excuse for the 09's? They are ranked 34th.

Arlington, Loudoun and Great Falls are all ranked 1, 2, 3 respectively. VSA is 9th and BRYC is 10th.

So what kids are leaving those clubs for a team that is ranked lower than Loudoun Green?

Are you referencing gotsoccer rankings?

How would BRYC get any gotsoccer or youthsoccer points with no league play at the younger age groups?

Who cares about got soccer points?

Really. This is what people rate team strength on?

Play in more tournaments, you'll get more points and be ranked higher. Won't make the team better.

If you don't think kids will leave clubs like great falls and vsa for the top DA in the area, you have just set the forum record on stupidity. DAs are destinations. The boys give you over a decade of an example for this. Dilution is real, no doubt, but the DA is still the top dog and for now, STJ/FCV is the top dog in the top dog league so it will be a destination.
