[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Combine the record of existing VRSC with a TD and coaches that are more worried about "devolopment" and not results is a very bad mix.

I remember that was Metro's mantra, development, not wins....and we see where that got them.

For anyone who believes that trash, good luck in your college recruiting for any level. Nobody is going to scout the games of losing teams. Losing teams end up in lower brackets against bad teams.

Hard pass for me. SYC or FCV for my kid if we stay GA. [/quote]

You just endorsed FCV’s historical GA on-field performance and college recruiting success, but ignored the fact that none of the coaches who built that program and achieved that success are there anymore.  And you dismissed VR based on their poor historical results but ignored the fact that most of the FCV GA coaches who built that program and are responsible for that success are now at VR. Ignorant or disingenuous?[/quote]
I'm not buying this story that the coaches that "built" FCV are now going to do the same at VR. First of all, there were many other coaches that were at FCV over the years and helped build that program. To give all the credit to the few at VR is a stretch. Second, the way FCV "built" their program was always to recruit players in their teen years from other clubs at all costs. Judging by how VR has entered the scene by muscling their way in, I would say they are attempting to build a similar program based on recruiting. It might work. It might not. But to put these coaches up as master developers that can turn any group of players into a high level program is ignorant or disingenuous.[/quote]

CC & team built a highly successful (on field and college recruiting) GA program, but it indeed was dependent on attracting disaffected players from other programs at the U13 and U14 levels and developing them further from there. Their U9-12 program typically was small (1-2 teams per age group) and not particularly competitive, as the most athletic girls generally went to the bigger programs (Loudoun, McLean) in those early years. With their success at the GA level, you’d think they could have done a better job attracting those kids to the early years program. [/quote]
