[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny how that traffic is only for those inbound to Vienna.  People seem to find it's easy to drive away[/quote]

Restating the point: There's no inherent reason why VYS would should be "better" than the clubs around it.

Regardless of how much driving people are willing to do to take kids to various A teams, that's maybe 5 percent of the soccer-playing population, and that's only after years of playing already. The overwhelming majority of kids will start playing soccer at their closest club.

So does Arlington have an advantage over Vienna? Yes. Does Loudoun have an advantage over Chantilly? Yes.

Braddock Road is the exception because of history. They're like the Green Bay Packers -- they joined up in the early days, had good management and stuck around. (And still, I worry a bit about their future now -- how long can they keep recruiting kids away from other clubs?)

If a lot of Vienna kids are leaving Vienna for elite clubs, that actually speaks well to the job Vienna does at the younger age groups, does it not? The goal now is to get those kids to go VDA.[/quote]
