[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the 2010 group provide a good experience? [/quote] Just because they have won the most games of any team does not make for a good experience. Still the same culture. Still the same lack of communication. Still the excessive roster. Still the crappy training, etc etc. Read the two threads on FVU boys. GM is still in charge and KJ is his pawn.[/quote] How large is the 2010 roster? [/quote] If you are legitimately asking you'll never get an unbiased answer here. This is the home of the entitled, left out and bitter. Oh FVU boys have their problems for sure. Communication is definitely one of them. And rebuilding has been slow. But if you don't know the history on the boys side, which most obviously don't, you don't get it's a rebuilding, that's what you are signing up for. And GM is old school, in an 80s coaches way, he doesn't suffer fool parents and he doesn't cater to them. If you can't handle that, this is not a fit. He is knowledgable and the majority of boys like him a lot. But on DCUM it's rarely about the kids and mostly about parent ego. Like I said, there are legitimate complaints to be had with FVU but some of these posts, especially from people at tryouts just have very little to do with the reality of being in the Club. The 2010 roster is 21. KJ has been their coach for a long time, he's much less old school, much more approachable. FVU works for us, and my son has gotten offers from other ECNL teams. It's year by year obviously, but isn't everything in NoVa soccer. All I know is I was seeing 50-60 kids at tryouts, so not everyone has ruled them out. But obviously if they rule your kid out, your first stop is DCUM. [/quote] no your kid did not get offers elsewhere. As only moron would choose this as their first choice. Your kid is there because you want the ECNL hat. My kid got an offer last year and I told him hell no. [/quote] I have to agree. If a kid is good enough to play ECNL National or MLS Next they would get at least one offer elsewhere. Now if a kid is not there yet and did not get a 1st team offer anywhere else, but still wants to playin a 1st team he could get a spot at FVU. I’m sure there will be additional tryouts at FVU, at least until they get 22+ per team. That’s an unfortunate truth for a union that had potential to be great. Same coaches/leadership same results upcoming year. Also about the 50-60 kids at tryouts that was most likely the 2010s and 2009s in one field, which is usual for clubs to do, with each team having 21+ kids it was mostly the two FVU teams. [/quote]09s had over 100 show. Everyone knows the club is shit. Unfortunately it makes it nearly impossible for them to see all the talent. They already made several questionable additions. Which they will soon see next season.[/quote] Is ECNL still considered a legit good league? [/quote] Yes of course it is….. dont be silly… Many many college commits coming out of ECNL especially in this area—moreso than MLS next actually. 3 ECNL Arlington players just got scooped up with MLS VDA is too 25 in the country according to TDS. ECNL is just fine…[/quote]
