[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its kind of crazy that the only ECNL club for boys in all of Fairfax has such a terrible record. There are so many good players.[/quote]

The talent was there, but the coaching was suspect for many of the teams.  During the Brave rebuild it began to improve then the craziness of of the Union merger took them 10 steps back.  They tried to keep the top players from each group instead of just picking the top 20 or so that showed up for tryouts.  They might be the only ECNL team in FFX, but they are competing with a lot of clubs outside of ECNL including some very good small clubs and MLS Next clubs.  Arlington and VDA steal a ton of FFX players because they are destination clubs. [/quote]

Totally, agree that teams were not built on 20 best players at tryouts. The players that were picked for the new merged teams were about half Brave/half Virginia Union. Then the problem became coaching and the politics of the merged teams. Some of the coaches didn't know how to construct their new teams. Coaches didn't admit to it, but I'm sure they were told to try and start an equal number of Brave/Union players on the new merged teams to limit parent complaints. And this policy showed up in the final results.  Teams that both Brave and Union handily beat the previous year when they were separate programs, the new FXU merged teams lost to. [/quote]
