[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sheesh, even Stafford is a significant level better than revolution. It will take a good 5-10 years for them to become anyone unless they start hiring coaches with experience and local reputations. But they would be taking a risk by coaching there so I don't expect that to happen. Experienced coaches don't go just for the money, they go where there is a strong player base to support competitive teams. And Virginia revolution doesn't have that right now.

If they were smart, they would invest heavily in u9-u12 and the younger ages. And hire some really good coaches to coach the academy and younger 6-7-8-year-olds. Until they do that all their teams are pretty mediocre product and not attractive for experience coaches to work with[/quote]

They just eliminated competition for younger players. [/quote] their 07 girls last year won ncsl div 3 and div 1 undefeated in the fall and spring, they won the nvsc battlefield tournament(not very competitive), they barely lost to the npl league winner in the npl state cup in over time, finalists at the nvsc hunt country classic(pretty sure it was a forfeit since they beat the team they played against 6-1 in the group stages, won the ultimate cup div 2, won div 1 at the virginian,

they are one of a ton of small clubs in the broad area- Leesburg and Dulles are similarly sized and positioned. Loudon is a behemoth and will do fine. There are larger clubs further away that will draw some talent.  FCV may or may not pull up stakes in the area, but that doesn't mean revolution will suddenly rival McLean [/quote]

Revolution is larger than Leesburg FC (are they still around?), Sterling and Dulles FC combined. [/quote]

ok? they play in the same leagues which revolution isn't exactly dominating. Does revolution even have 1 stand out team? [/quote]

Not the greatest team but they're developing which is what youth soccer is about[/quote]

look at the other teams in the division, it's big clubs 3rd teams. At U14, there are very few good teams that still play NCSL. It seems like they are properly placed and win secondary tournaments. That's great, but a few tiers below ECNL [/quote]
