Curious to hear what is going on but I don't know any of the people involved and would feel weird showing up. I only know about it from reaching out about futsal, which we did not end up pursuing because nobody followed up with any concrete info.

When is this? Who is involved? I have only really only seen what's posted here and obviously that seems pretty negative but I'm interested in what they have to say.

6:30pm, 12/16 at Riverbend. Here is the full text of the e-mail:

Dear Phoenix Families,
Thank you again for your interest in attending our upcoming community meeting. We’re looking forward to getting everyone together and sharing the next chapter of what we’re building.
The meeting details are now confirmed:
📅 Tuesday, December 16th
🕡 6:30 PM
📍 Riverbend CC
375 Walker Road, Great Falls, VA 22066
This will be an engaging evening — a chance to meet other families, talk with our team, and get a clearer sense of the vision, values, and long-term pathway we’re creating for our players. Come ready to mingle, ask questions, and get a feel for what RBFC is all about.
If you haven’t already RSVP’d, feel free to reply to this email so we can plan accordingly.
We’re excited to share what’s ahead. The Rise of RBFC starts here — built on community, development, and a culture of excellence

So reston soccer merged with great falls and now great falls (some) saying goodbye. Did most think that merger would last longer?

Well, there's a reason they merged which I guess the GF people are forgetting.

If anyone goes to meeting report back if the Twitter followers are there or other coaches introduced or if just say we’ll have great coaches but no names.

The Herndon coach I noticed following them unfollowed them today after people posted here about the instagram followers. Hmm.

I noticed that too!! Thought maybe I was going crazy for a minute. He either doesn't want people reading into a harmless follow, or doesn't want people to know he's jumping ship.

Coaches and clubs must hate DCUM, because people can share info and put two and two together. Too bad! We pay a lot of money and do not appreciate that clubs tell us we are locked into paying for a whole year, meanwhile coaches can bail on their commitments to kids they claim to have cared about, and clubs can fail to follow through on things they promised after cashing our checks. Talk about a double standard! I am grateful to DCUM for helping me see just how dysfunctional youth soccer is.

Being nosy AF is why we're all on DCUM, isn't it?

Are these guys really so wealthy that they can bankroll an entire new club, pay all the coaches salaries, rent fields, etc?

AC Milan was backed by the AC Milan organization and still flopped and tried to get out of paying people.
