League Play Next Year - GA Aspire - RBFC:
For next year, the goal is that I will coach these two groups in the GA Aspire. I have had several conversations with several parents about this and so it's an option on the table that I am working through. If you haven't heard, there is a new club that has popped up in Great Falls/Reston area called RBFC. It's more or less a sister club to Loudoun East for the simple fact that it also falls under the Loudoun Umbrella. This club has been given the GA Aspire platform which is similar to ECNL-Regional League. As part of the plan, these two age groups can participate in GA Aspire and therefore will occupy two of the six slots from U13 through U18/19 age groups. It's a league above NCSL and falls under the Loudoun Pathway and the National pathways (Aspire as a steppingstone to GA/NVA).
We are working through all the logistics as we would love to keep the foundation of these two groups together and build around/strengthen which is another one of my strengths and thus super excited about the future. In terms of the pathway in Loudoun, a few of the girls who asked and wanted to explore inquired and because I do some work with NVA on the technical side, I was able to secure some training opportunities for some of the players to evaluate themselves and see areas they need to improve on. As I transition to become their coach, these opportunities will be a part of the role as we take the next step in their development. While coach OH will transition to take on new groups in the under 12 age groups, he will continue to play a role and assist with these two groups.
I am working out the logistics and will communicate with full details by next week.
In short, please don't panic about anything and leave the rest to me because I think stability for these girls is important

Thank you very much for all the support you give the girls and the program

RP snake oil. Do not believe anything he says, which should be self-evident by his track record of disaster.

Reading through posts on this board, there's not a single TD that parents don't talk trash about. Everyone has very strong opinions here lol.

Wait someone made him a TD?

Tryouts for RbFC (or should I say NVA) are less than a week away. When will the coaching slate be posted? Will we know before deciding whether to attend? Or are we just supposed to take on faith that the TD is "carefully assembling an exceptional group of coaches" and go in blind?

What league will the Loudoun east boys play in for their "pathway" to NVA?

They haven’t said anything about the boys with all this. I would assume nothing changes for them. For the teams I am familiar with they are not suited for anything beyond mid to lower NCSL.

You do realize that Loudoun East’s oldest boy team is a group of 10 year olds right?

So you’re that much of an expert to know that they’re “not suited for anything beyond mid to lower NCSL”

This is 10 year olds we are talking about. You have to be the person who just wants that patch on your jersey so you can feel important. This is why every club that comes in existence is the new “elite” club for parents like you.

GFR has a pre-ECNL U11 team, they travel everywhere to take a beating so does that make them elite or suited for pre-ECNL?

And then people wonder why coaches quit or why names aren’t posted earlier, crazy parents like you is the reason why! Get a life and let 10 year olds learn how to play the game

Oh, are you a parent who moved your young son from a more established club to Loudoun East because they convinced you it was a pathway to NVA? Please go to the NCSL website and look at U14 and U15 divisions 5 and 6. There are Loudoun East teams playing there. You just apparently don’t know enough about your own club to realize that.

Good luck breaking through the 6 teams in your son‘s age group at the actual Loudoun Soccer. I’m sure your kid is next in line for a spot on their top team.

See you keep showing how ignorant you are because you use those keywords. “Pathway”

You keep believing that your kid has a pathway to anywhere… you can’t polish a turd even with your money and you bashing 10 year olds 😂😂😂

Anyone has a pathway whether you’re paying $5000 or playing for free at age 10.

You probably are talking about the Apex teams, whatever makes you feel better. You wouldn’t know the difference but it’s ok!

coaches quit because a post on a message board made a skill assessment of an NCSL team?

Most area clubs have posted their coaching slate for 26/27 at this point, including GFR. the question is why this club hasn't posted a coaching slate. At established clubs, at least you can fall back on the club's general reputation if you don't know who the specific coach is. Here you'd really be taking a flying leap over an abyss with a new, unestablished club that won't tell you who will be coaching your DC.

I couldn’t care less about your amazing team of 10 year olds. I wasn’t talking about them in the first place. But clearly you’re very defensive so you must feel insecure about something. Have fun.

Again, you have to read first and then respond. Where in any post did I say anything or anyone was amazing or deserving of something…. You are the only one who knows what kids and teams are “suited” for what level

You’re on a forum about a club that’s just forming so I’m going to give you some breaking news… there’s a very good chance they won’t be MLS Next on the boys side

Do we think that they just don’t have anyone lined up? Or is it more of keeping it until last second to release another video at midnight on IG?

RP is on the girls side we know that but what else?
