[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t wait until next year. Email the clubs and ask for your child to practice with one of the teams.

For girls, Vienna is by far the strongest. For boys, BRYC used to be better, but I think their program is a bit of a mess right now. [/quote]

This must have been written by someone at vys's back office. Everyone I have ever heard from says they are a dumpster fire at the elementary age girls levels. Not so much at the boys. The girls teams do not have enough talent to fill many teams or rosters and very poor coaching (a lot of run and chase style play). You are better off going to BRYC. But if your girl has any talent you should really look at McLean and/or GFR. Their locations are comparable to the other ones you mentioned and everyone knows that those are two of the better programs in that area and age group.[/quote]

You clearly don’t know much about the NOVA youth soccer scene. Vienna is a drastically better club on the girls’ side than the boys’ side, and has a successful history in girls’ soccer. FVU was caused by the boys’ sides at McLean, VYS, and BRYC not being competitive (which in turn was driven by the BRYC boys’ program splitting off into NVU 2.5 years ago).

Let’s look at last year’s ECRl girls’ standings

2006 - GFR 5th, Vienna 7th, BRYC 8th, McLean 10th. 
2007 - GFR 6, MYS 7, VYS 8, BRYC 9
2008 - GFR 5, BRYC 7, VYS 8, MYS 9
2009 - GFR 1, VYS 7, MYS 8, BRYC 9
2010 - VYS 2, GFR 5, MYS 6, BRYC 8
2011 - GFR 4, VYS 6, MYS 8, BRYC 10.

Only 1/6 MYS teams were better than VYS, and the same for BRYC. GFR obviously looks like the clear winner here, but then remember that the best players for the other 3 clubs were playing on Brave and Union.

With the combination of those clubs into FVU, VYS, MYS, and BRYC should benefit (by keeping more of their players).
