The twist is that an ECNL team will have more events with coaches present, so they may be watching someone else during the Jeff Cup, but may be able to come out to a league game because there are four other girls they are looking at who will be playing. If your kid plays for a lower league, it may be one or two tournaments or bust |

They mean all the FCV girls getting 1/2 their college costs covered by soccer scholarship. |

| Yes but why did it sound like getting a 50% scholarship to william and mary is not a good thing? |

Former FCV parent whose daughter played for BP & CC.
So BP & CC get to spread the toxic culture they created to two new clubs? Thank god our current club didn't hire them. Some loved it there, some hated it, just like every club. I know several who used to love it, and over the years they soured on those two. The environment they created at FCV was great if you were "in" with them, you get injured or fall out, and the tone changes quickly. Not to mention the dynamics they fostered among the players. None of it was worth it for a teenage kid's mental wellness and confidence. We watched our daughter and several others blossom as players after they left that program. We know several families still with FCV; and even before this, at least a few planned to move on next season. Some have been practicing with other clubs when they have a day off from FCV. Not because BP & CC were leaving, but to move on from them. There is a core group that will follow those two, and if they pull enough, they can have a decent team. But no way they are pulling a full team. Not everyone is chasing a D-1 scholarship. And not every kid who is chasing one will get one. Never cared about the GA vs. ECNL argument, it is amazing to see the "discussions" here on that front. To some of us, having our kids develop and get to play and enjoy a game that they love at a high(er) level is enough. Then let the chips fall where they may. They may win more games, but good luck to Revolution and VDA and the players there, you are going to need it. |

Can you elaborate on the "toxic culture" you're referring to? Also, what age group(s) is your experience from? |

Revolution families won’t bat an eye at this. They’ve suffered NE for so long they’re undoubtedly nearing total immunity to toxicity… |

Some people who have been who for years will recognize the penmanship of this post. Same guy that has conspiracy theories about a US Scout and BP. A well known FCV and BP hater on forums. Enjoy! |

Congrats on the results playing NE teams in fall pre season events when those teams have been playing HS from August to November. Interesting to see how they play at Jeff Cup. |

| Does anyone have any info on the three new coaches FCV has hired for the GA program (from Seattle United, Sockers in Chicago, and Norway)? |

That is called an excuse I believe. Couldn’t FCV just use the same excuse in Vice Versa kinda way? Those results are actually over the past year and not from Fall. I could be wrong but I think 2010s are still in Middle School too. Anyway, what’s it even matter anymore if the players are going to scatter? |

Interesting if true. Sockers beat FCV 1-0 in the GA U19 Championship game last summer. |
