They then reach out to at least 8 of the starting line up for FVU 2010 less than two weeks from the season starting and ask them to leave FVU and join BSC. That is flat out wrong on so many levels. No one is arguing the invited girls are not talented and deserve opportunities but this was an unprofessional shady move from two coaches bitter they were fired and wanting to punish FVU.

Oh wow…waking up to some fun drama.

As someone that has coached against ML and NM for years, I couldn’t be happier players are following them!!

The only thing that was unprofessional and shady was how FVU handled the coaching announcements and treatment of these coaches.
I still can’t even believe the story of how it went down. ML told me that a week before tryouts, CW told numerous families that the coaches were returning and he gave the coaches verbal offers with finances included, and then ONE day before tryouts called the coaches and rescinded the offers without any explanation.
This heinous act was clearly intentional so the coaches couldn’t find other ECNL jobs in VA.

Every family should run from FVU as coaches talk so no decent coach will ever go there again. Also, I’m sure college coaches know the story so they won’t think highly of the club either especially since they have been working with those coaches for years.

That timing seems suspect.

Yes very unprofessional I couldn't agree more, it was a joke what happened. But this happened the day before tryouts. All the parents knew this, signed petitions were made to bring ML back and failed and yet all not most ALL FVU players made the decision after this to come back.

Less than three weeks ago, we were all together celebrating, competing, and enjoying finals as a team. Now, because of recent decisions and shifting allegiances, it feels like people are turning on each other. That’s incredibly sad. Right or wrong, it doesn't change the fact that girls who’ve built friendships over years won’t be on the field together next week to laugh, play, and compete.

Whether this all stems from poor FVU leadership, mismanagement, or something more personal from NV and ML, the outcome is the same...a great group of girls has been split apart.

For those who are staying please don’t diminish the decisions of those who are leaving. Every family made the choice they believed was best for their child, based on the information, opportunities, or promises they were given.

And for those who are leaving telling others to “calm down” or mocking their emotions isn’t helpful either. The remaining team went from a roster of 20 to 15 almost overnight, first in the mid-atlantic to who knows where. And If you get joy out of any of that, then that IS wrong. While yes, everyone could have made a decision back in March or May to move on the reality is everyone didn't because of the huge push to "keep this team together". Doesn't keep to be very important now.

This kind of turnover happens often in youth sports, especially in our area, but it doesn’t make it any easier for the girls and families affected. Even if some believe this was the result of poor club management and it's what CW, MV and Brave deserve, that’s not on the players. The girls who’ve shared the field for one, two, or five years deserve better than being caught in the crossfire.

So let’s stop pointing fingers. Wish each other well and move forward. Don’t root for the other side to fail because not long ago, we were all in this together. I truly hope every promise that was made whether it’s CW coaching for the next three years or commitments made to new recruits at BSC is honored. At the end of the day, it’s about the kids. Let’s respect that.

Oh the horror…please spare us. Get your player out of there now before you have to pay a full years fees.

You need to get over yourself. All this outrage because paid employees moved to another employer and some rich kids on a soccer team will need to play with different kids than they did before?

Sure, you can plead that it’s all about the kids when something happens against your interests, but we all know you would be the first to trample on the other kids if it means yours gets the benefits.

Is it correct that CW wanted ML/NM/BL but he was overruled by KJ at the last moment and had to bring in DB?

The simple reality is if they kept the coaches then the team would have continued to grow. Having KJ come on the call just reminded me that we are now BRAVE and under the same leadership that leads the awful boys program. Poor leadership is pointing the finger rather than owning your mistakes.

Can someone confirm that they are really making families pay the whole year if they want to leave now?

What were MVs comments?

MV is just jealous because no one (and I mean absolutely no one!) ever followed him to any club. Maybe if they gave college scholarships for kickball they would.

Once MYS saw what was going on they knew they wanted no part of FVU anymore and took steps to leave. Do you think they would have left an ECNL pipeline lightly? MYS pretty much told you which way the wind was blowing but people didn't listen. They also knew what CW has become and that is why they didn't try to stop him from leaving.

People you should pay attention to the things clubs do and understand why. MYS is small but wealthy and have people behind the scenes like outside advisors and lawyers whose names you will never see. FVU is poorly managed, it is Brave. And NM is in it for his own brand.
