Unfortunately as parents we have zero input into these decisions...
It feels like clubs forming "partnerships" and "alliances" is very in vogue lately but it's sometimes hard to understand the incentive or benefit for each of the clubs involved in such an agreement. I never understood what GFR hoped to get out of NVA, for example. I can see a benefit for NVA since it expands access to players primarily at Valor and GFR because those coaches would (theoretically) "guide" their better players to NVA. And sure enough, both clubs lost some of their best players to NVA which only made the Valor and GFR teams weaker. But it's not like you could only get to NVA by being on a team at Loudoun, Valor or GFR. So what benefit do Valor and GFR get out of that arrangement? I heard all the talking points about a "common training regimens", coach training, etc. but that's all it amounted to - just talking points.
And now I hear rumors that GFR is going to leave NVA after this season and form some kind of "partnership" with McLean in the wake of SYC leaving VA Union. And that would seem to make sense as Nadir Moumem was hired as the new GFR TD. But again, what benefit would GFR get from that?
A better partnership than the one with NVA maybe, a relationship between the clubs that works both ways?
Okay, so now the question is when?! When is all this goodness happening. Tick tock, the clock is ticking. ID sessions for clubs are in a few weeks and we have no vision into why stay at GFR, if there is no line of sight to ecnl or even who the coaches will be next season. There are some crazy talented age groups currently being told nothing about the future. Sigh.

And what happens now to GFR players who had the realistic chance to try out at the alliance club NVA? Grooming was well underway. GFR still yet to announce any split from NVA although everyone on this board knows it. Are we just going to be told nothing and left to this internet board for the info? NVA’s ID sessions start soon and “invitation only” so who/how getting the invites now? What a bummer to be kept in the dark on this.
