[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are messy.  The girls all played well... congratulated each other and took photos after matches. The soccer world is small.  Be your child's cheerleader and encourage them to lift up the others.  Not one of these kids is competing for the exact same college spot so why not let all sides shine?[/quote]

+1.  The game was well fought.  The girls are all friends.  The parents acted responsibly.   Let’s keep it that way.  Next week this thread will be back to the toxic usual.  Let’s enjoy a nice weekend of soccer while we have it.[/quote]

They are definitely not all friends but since FVU has never beaten VDA this really isn't a rivalry even with the players who switched.  Everyone knew VDA would win.  Agree that parents acted well but again no expectation that FVU would win.  The real story is that VDA can't make champions league and FVU might not make a showcase.[/quote] with FVU  its a bit more/less complex than that. poor preparation precedes poor performance.

The girls have 1hr practices on the level of an ECRL team on half a field for three days a week. Scrimmages and shots on goal are rare as catching a shiny pokemon.  These practices consist of sprints where players are told they are out of shape and something posing as Rondos. Parents sent a letter with concerns to be ignored and suffer in silence. With that kind of prep it’s no wonder we tied the lowly Hammerheads. The real question is if the club is actually committed to this team or looking over the hill. 2011s were forgotten when it came to USYNT IDs and will also be missing for Kansas City showcase. Which wasn’t a mistake per the staff unless it was also forgotten and they are saving face. Strangely enough they broke their necks to sign them up for wags.  All to say its a lot under the hood that can use a tune up. Girls did a decent job considering the prep so cut them some slack please. You guys probably have whole fields to practice on.  Parents are probably too ashamed to admit it but the girls deserve better.    They still have a chance to get a showcase if the investment planning and commitment to an actual game-plan is embraced.

GG on all sides. Looking forward to running it back for the cup game. Sorry if long winded, I just don't think the girls have been given a chance to play to their potential. Maybe Im being protective but please let us know what your practice is like. Genuinely curious. :oops:

Also that post sounds like a frustrated VDA parent or hating Arl parent agitator. Its a Lot of soccer left cup wise.  The kids might pull it off so don’t speak so soon!!  Also awesome sideline vibes parents. Even when the fouls happened you guys were chilled as white wine. :) Totally unexpected but much appreciated.  This board would have you thinking its WW3 but the kids actually had fun playing each other.[/quote]

I appreciate this post.[b] FVU girls deserve better. 3 practices a week when everyone else is doing 4 is just pure laziness and incompetence on FVU staff’s part.[/b] You’ll never compete with doing that much less than everyone else. My DD’s club holds practices 4 times a week for at least 1.5 hours, plus film review.

Are you all at least doing Bethesda Premier Cup? Or PDA Showcase? [/quote]

Can't fault FVU on this, its a county problem. GL to any clubs in FFX county that want to hold 4x trainings with the field space problem within the county.[/quote]i dont know.. other clubs dont seem to have that problem.  Some have even invested in themselves and have their own fields.  Imagine that concept of handling money. Reinvesting?!! Others like MYS broke away and wouldn’t ya know they have no issues with field space.[/quote]

MYS is running 4 sessions a week for their GA? Good to know if so, it'll be the first club within FFX that I've heard doing it.[/quote]

They're not the only local GA club running 4 sessions per week. I believe that's the norm for most of the serious clubs.  [/quote]

You're correct, but not many have to operate within the confines of FFX county. Look at SYC for example, they only get 3 field sessions and 1 session in their performance facility that is pay as you go. LS/NVA aren't included and neither is TSJ because they operate out of LoCo. Out of all of the ECNL/GA programs, only FVU/MYS/SYC have to deal with FFX county field issues.[/quote]
