[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]    Olympaicos DC Academy based in Falls Church/Annandale still has a couple of spots on 08 and 07 teams.

Here is the academy video

My son plays there for 05s and it is a great year-around program that includes monthly player evaluations, fitness testing and video/classroom sessions. We have been involved in travel soccer in the area for a number of years and never experienced anything like this. Olympiacos DC has only one team per age group and they really focus on player development - not on numbers.  Wish all of the soccer parents best of luck![/quote]

I’m sure no one wants to play in ODSL

or for a Greek team at that. [/quote]
And look at how an Viva team plays at "higher level" league performed at recent tournament. That is a big 0 - 4 record.

I think this was their second team.  [/quote]

It was their second team, the second team played with 9 players the whole tournament.
The first team played and beat Bethesda blue in the final of their tournament. Which Bethesda blue is ranked 21st in the nation.

They beat Bethesda's B team.   That's great. [/quote]

Wonder how their A team/DA ranks in the nation [/quote]

Da is a program for the biggest and fastest players. There is no point for a da until you are 16 because everyone will be fast and strong. So if you make da when you are young it means that you are big and fast and little bit of technical skills. Even when you are older they still teach you to kick and run. This is why the united states is very poor at teaching soccer to kids. This is why I support clubs like villarreal moving in, to open a pathway to professional soccer. In a couple of years, there will be more clubs like villarreal from europe moving to virginia and that will be the end of these silly clubs charging ridiculous amounts of money to play youth soccer.This is coming from an former da coach. So what I am trying to say is when they are 16 they will all be fast and strong, so it will be based on who taught better youth soccer villarreal which is proper soccer or what da teaches kick and run.[/quote]
