But would be hesitant to go there without a good coach and at least the possibility of a pathway (have one at current club even if it’s mostly marketing).

The challenge is, if GFR is a reasonable drivable distance, their rumored alliance partner is likely not. Getting to Woodbridge or Haymarket 4x per week from northern Fairfax would be brutal.

Agree but the advertised pathway tends to attract stronger players to the RL teams than if there’s no pathway.

There was a pathway with NVA and I think you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone at GFR who noticed a positive impact.

VDA is not NVA. The past is not prologue.

GFR was stronger at least at my child’s age group when they had a “pathway” to NVA. Maybe it was other factors, but something seemed to have happened this past year or two that caused kids to leave. Lack of pathway would not have helped.

Hopefully this upcoming alliance can fix that.

Everyone has a pathway. Join practices. Go to ID sessions. If you don’t make it, better off to be on an RL team that’s the top of the club rather than one that’s second fiddle to an NL team at the same club. If you do make it, more power to you.

Whoever said Friday was a troll. This is a long term effort that will likely be announced in the new year to early spring time.
