It’s an LMVSC issue.

OMG! You are that person driving 30 mph in the left lane!

Approximately 3.5 hours each way driving at or a few mph faster than the speed limit = approximately 7. Or am I missing something

It depends, if the league told the club that games would be regionalized and now they are not, I say it’s a league issue. Are other clubs playing at a neutral site vs clubs from outside NOVA?

Not PP you’re responding to. I’d like to point something out: I don’t know if we’ll actually go down to play. I suspect we’re going to reschedule again. I’m still sore about being left out of State Cup.

Your club had the chance to drive 10 minutes to Alexandria and play in weekk 1 and bailed out on that. Beach FC is a club in the CCL lineup and apparently they came to you last year so its your turn to go to them. Given you your club didnt drive down route 1 to get to Alexandria I cant imagine you will drive down 95 to go to Beach so why worry.

This is TRAVEL soccer. The name kind of says it all. If you dont want to travel play SFL or one of the local rec leagues.

Please explain to me why parent bitch about travel to VA Beach one time every two years? They travel north to us every other year so it is exactly once every two years and if your club is doing their job they reach out to the other VA Beach area team and book them the same weekend just like my daughters club does.

and dont give me this COVID excuse. This is the same why do i have to travel you hear from the same parent type year after year.

Just to be clear its not a league issue its an LMVSC issue. Tell them to get their act together. maybe they can actually show up and play Northern VA teams in their own backyard instead of bailing out of those games

DP but the Alexandria game was rescheduled so it didn't completely bail. I just think the club wasn't ready especially with all the changes it has had. I think this was more on the administrative side. Also heard that some teams were still in the process of finalizing their rosters. It sucks but it's the reality of the club at the moment. They have to do better with what they got. I agree that there are some annoying parents with the "why drive 3 hours" excuse, it's what they signed up for. I think the VA Beach issue is more to do with concerns of Covid and that we were told that those games would be played at a neutral site. I don't care about the drive.

“Administrative side” = “LMVSC issues”.

“Still in process of finalizing rosters” = “LMVSC issues”

“Club wasn’t ready especially with all the changes” = “LMVSC issues”

I just checked CCL site... are you sure LMVSC will be competing in CCL? All of their games are still marked “tbd”.

It is safe to say that LB is fully responsible for the demise and the LMVSC issues that have been noted. Her email in late July/early August saying that July this year is actually May proves that she has no clue about the current climate. LB decided to remove 2 directors from the club prior to the season and clearly is not prepared for the administrative tasks that are necessary for running a club.

There are groups of players at practice but very little communication surrounding what team or league players will be playing. I left SYC because of the structure and how it was run under the leadership of JC. Sadly, LMVSC is moving toward the same structure JC ran at SYC and will drive families away due to the lack of planning and respect for others (ie. families, players and coaches). The reality is that LB has engaged in a bait and switch approach where the changes are occurring so close to the season that families are stuck with very few options. SHAMEFUL.

Is CCL playing their CCL 2 & Next Gen? Their website does not have an option to display schedules for any league but Premiership.

It appears LMVSC has removed their 2011 Girls Red team from CCL, placed them in NCSL and has a new coach?

That’s five top teams in NCSL. Their oldest girls team is U16. What are they doing??

I see that as well; it’s all listed as TBD.
