[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t wait until next year. Email the clubs and ask for your child to practice with one of the teams.

For girls, Vienna is by far the strongest. For boys, BRYC used to be better, but I think their program is a bit of a mess right now. [/quote]

This must have been written by someone at vys's back office. Everyone I have ever heard from says they are a dumpster fire at the elementary age girls levels. Not so much at the boys. The girls teams do not have enough talent to fill many teams or rosters and very poor coaching (a lot of run and chase style play). You are better off going to BRYC. But if your girl has any talent you should really look at McLean and/or GFR. Their locations are comparable to the other ones you mentioned and everyone knows that those are two of the better programs in that area and age group.[/quote]

You clearly don’t know much about the NOVA youth soccer scene. Vienna is a drastically better club on the girls’ side than the boys’ side, and has a successful history in girls’ soccer. FVU was caused by the boys’ sides at McLean, VYS, and BRYC not being competitive (which in turn was driven by the BRYC boys’ program splitting off into NVU 2.5 years ago).

Let’s look at last year’s ECRl girls’ standings

2006 - GFR 5th, Vienna 7th, BRYC 8th, McLean 10th. 
2007 - GFR 6, MYS 7, VYS 8, BRYC 9
2008 - GFR 5, BRYC 7, VYS 8, MYS 9
2009 - GFR 1, VYS 7, MYS 8, BRYC 9
2010 - VYS 2, GFR 5, MYS 6, BRYC 8
2011 - GFR 4, VYS 6, MYS 8, BRYC 10.

Only 1/6 MYS teams were better than VYS, and the same for BRYC. GFR obviously looks like the clear winner here, but then remember that the best players for the other 3 clubs were playing on Brave and Union.

With the combination of those clubs into FVU, VYS, MYS, and BRYC should benefit (by keeping more of their players).

Who is talking about 2006-2011 (high school kids)?

The comment was that Vienna is a complete disaster these days at the Elementary school ages. That is a fact most girls with talent and skill at Vienna have left for other teams. McLean is mainly where talented Vienna players go, but GFR is also a top team at those ages along with others. The future of FVU girls will definitely be McLean heavy.[/quote]

It’s still the same Vienna uLittle coaches that coached the current batch of middle and high schoolers when they were in elementary. They turn some parents off because they do things like force them to play out of the back instead of punting it long. But the 2009 and 2010 girls who are now in pool for the U15 National Team did fine under them.  The problem is the parents, not the coaches.

You can’t even see U11 and below results in NCSL, for good reason.  I started the list at U13 because that’s when the scores start counting.  Regi and Vincent know what matters is developing for 11v11.
