[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All RP has done since he has taken over the 2011 and 2012 teams is lose games. Lose, lose, lose. In ECNL. In Jefferson Cup. Everywhere. Good luck.[/quote]

They will be better off with RP, they now have a coach who understands the sport.[/quote]RP has made the girls who paid attention much more knowledgeable of the sport. Should be an easier sideline to deal with now as well w/o all the meddling. I do wonder what is going on w the 12s. Any parents care to share?! [/quote]
On track for the playoffs[/quote]on that note.

Dear Mr. Grumpy coach. Its not you…. Its Us.. and mostly the decision your staff made in a vacuum.

The girls that stuck around and are showing up respectfully have delusions of playoffs and at a minimum want to finish out the season with girls they have played with since littles in some cases.  Please stop offering them their cards out of anger unless it’s coming with a prorated refund as they/we all paid for a whole ecnl season and it paints a bad picture for the future.  Regardless of the future GA plans. Those girls will have to wait to join the team.

Mr Grumpy coach and staff.  The girls didn’t ask to be put in this position. So don't treat them like villains for not being loyal to a disloyal club.  Thats just life.

P.s. Also new girls are watching and talking to old girls and future teammates then talking to parents. Be smart in the land of flooded G.A. teams as they/we can go anywhere we want. Including down the street.

Lets finish strong!!!  And don’t be so grumpy guys. Some of the girls still speak highly of you. And want to win.  GO NVA!!

Well said! Players are the victims here not the coaches and staff[/quote]

Victims of what? Clubs are providing a product to their customers (players/parents). The league is NOT their product. The product is the coaching and the environment which is not changing. [/quote]

In other words, shut up and pay to play.  Haha, LS/NVA management is top notch. [/quote]

[b]Im not part of the NVA/Loudoun management[/b]. I just think the way parents are approaching their decision making in regards to team selection is so wrong. Some of the most valuable lessons that I got from my playing time were the importance of commitment- to the team, to the sport, and to yourself. Moving teams every season chasing a league badge does nothing to build the qualities ACTUALLY needed to be a successful player. It does not teach or reinforce the commitment, dedication and ownership needed to be a successful player or person. These decisions also completely undermine and undervalue the connections built between teammates, and the work put in by a coach to build a team and develop players. The decision to move to a new team should be about finding an environment that matches the values and goals of the player, the league is a small part of that but FAR from the entirety of the equation.[/quote]

Sure, buddy.  Even if you're not, you don't understand the implications of shifting from ECNL to GA, especially in the critical recruiting ages.  The advantage that ECNL has right now over GA is huge.  There are a lot more eyes on ECNL teams than there are on GA ones.  That's a fact.  Yes the team matters, for sure - I'm not saying you can't be recruited from a GA team, but it is more difficult.  Plus, the level of competition is lower, unless you make the Champions League in GA, and if you want to play at the next level you need to play with/against better players.  For younger age groups (pre-HS), maybe this doesn't matter if GA gains strength and start pulling teams that matter into the GA, but for now, it matters a ton.  [/quote]

I'm glad to see someone finally acknowledging other age groups when it comes to this situation. I was just about to comment that for the older age groups who's time for recruiting is dwindling I can totally understand moving clubs to stay in Ecnl. If you're U13 and under, are outraged and club jumping because of the switch that's crazy. The issue is people are making generalized comments but only with THEIR situation in mind.[/quote]
