[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What data are you using to say NVYLL numbers are plummeting over the last 5 years?  Look at the growth in Ashburn alone, rec programs like Dulles South, Ashburn, Western Loudoun, then add in the growth in Prince William and Stafford.

The only nvyll team I noticed not playing this year was FPYC, which went with a covid influenced small sided concept, but the kids were still out there at Oak Marr on one side of the turf while games were being played on the other.

If anything, I would say we have too many programs and not enough quality rec coaches to teach the game the way it supposed to be played.  Teams like Great Falls, Vienna, Dulles South, Arlington, Fort Hunt and Alexandria have multiple teams in each age bracket, where are is the decline?

Club is making a play for the spring season, with HOCO offering multiple divisions across all age groups, but it is intentionally scheduled for Sundays (except for 2025).

It seems like most NVYLL rec teams are aligned and in some cases coached by club coaches (Dulles South, Ashburn->Cavs, BRYC & Annandale-> Top Caliber, Great Falls, McLean, and Vienna-> MadLax [/quote]

Eight years ago, Alexandria had nine U9 boys teams.  Now they’re lucky to have two.  [/quote]
