RU about to lose a ton of boys to Velocity[/quote]

Yeah.  I agree there.  RU now isn't the only game in town on the boys side with Velocity joining MLS Next Home Grown.  I would imagine they will work hard to build the program and gain MLS Next Academy Division status as quickly as possible.  It was interesting when Velocity was formed by former RU folks and what impact it would have in the area.  That is now coming to light.

Girls though, still RU and they draw from a pretty wide area.   [/quote]

At the younger ages, I think they are already pressing RU hard. One age group won a higher bracket at Jeff Cup this weekend.

velocity has good coaching and is a decent club for boys, kudos. Richmond area girls have really no option but to stay with their current club [b]but when FC Richmond gets promoted to top GA then girls will leave in droves.[/b] no pathway to the top team, the side deals with some nl parents keeping mid-low players on those teams (standings show just 3 teams in the top 3), recruiting from other teams instead of their own rl players, no transparancy, no discussion of your player's pathway with leadership.we stay silent due to the threat of having our players black listed within the club.

blue teams were made to have better competition in RL which did not happen, most dominated their league, the orange/red teams did get better competition being in the RL.  Blue teams were told that RU would apply for them to become NL, that did not happen, no transparancy, no discussion about it this year.

When will FC Richmond get promoted from Aspire to Girls Academy?  I thought they just joined Aspire when it was first formed and I don't think that they are at the top of the standings for many ages.  Competition prevents stagnation, but the competition needs to perform in order to get the promotion.  I don't see GA just adding a team for the sake of adding a team.  Sorry to read that your RU experience has been a tough slog.  I believe that there have been folks who left and went to Skyline, NVA or even Beach FC and VDA in ECNL for a perceived better experience.  Good Luck!

GA has and continues to add any team that applies. [/quote]
