He is coaching 3 teams at VSA.

They should probably bring him back. Word around town is his old team is not happy.

Why aren’t they happy?

Word around the soccer community is there are lots of unhappy people in that club. Especially on the girls side and even more so the 2006 and 2005 groups. Honeymoon is over for VDA. Good luck putting a competitive 2008 team together with that staff.

The 2005 and 2006s are doing really well. I think this is your attempt to muddy them, but they are doing a great job at the younger ages. Now, the older ages 2004 and up may feel as you describe.

Have the 04's won a game yet?

Who cares? The only thing that matters is being competitive and for players to showcase their talent in ECNL. The goal is to land on a decent college team with some $$, not to win meaningless ECNL (or DA, if you are there) playoffs or championships. If winning team championships is your goal as a parent, take your star back to the club team that competes for State Cup so you can win every year with her astonishing talent.

That would be a no then. But, in order to be in the top ECNL showcase, where the better colleges scout don't you need to make the playoffs in ECNL?

Not an 2004 parent so don’t know and don’t care, but no, an exceptional player can be recruited to a top college without participating in playoffs or championships.

Of course an exceptional player can get recruited regardless of circumstance, but does that exist on the VDA 04 team? If your player is not exceptional then wouldn't a elevated showcase presence be pretty necessary?

If your player isn’t exceptional, they aren’t going to make a top college. That should answer the false choice above. Good players can make good colleges without attending the showcases as well. It’s more about marketing your player for the colleges you are interested in. It doesn’t sound like you’ve done this before, or even know what you’re talking about. If I had to guess, you are a u14 or under parent.

You have a kid who is committed or playing in college?

VDA won’t be around next year and neither will they.

Why do you think that is? They could convert their boys program into an ECNL program at which point their current name is kind of silly but I say they should keep it.

Both it is very unlikely that if your kid is on VDA they were close to making Loudoun or FCV. VDA is where everyone goes that didnt make a better team - even a closer team.

Yet the 2006 VDA team is better than both Loudoun’s and FCV

VDA 04’s are better then FCV 04’s and proven to be better then Loudon but FCV 04 refuses to play VDA 04, why?? ?

This post certainly aged well:
