[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what does Villareal even get out of having a little itty bitty program affiliation in northern virginia? Doubt they need it with the millions of dollars they get as a La Liga club [/quote]

Check out the VILLARREAL CF website for that answer:  https://www.villarrealcf.es/academias-internacionales/academias-internacionales

Their mission is positive, invoking holistic growth to the player not just on the field but also off, and their reach is global.

Those clubs not affiliated (Arlington, Alexandria, McLean, Vienna, Chantilly, Braddock Road) have now resorted to their typical annual roasting on this forum in an effort to dismantle what can turn out to be a proper academy which helps foster player/personal growth.  Typical capitalistic warfare.

[quote=Anonymous]I agree, I used coach in arlington da and they told me to pick the biggest/strongest and fastest players and I will win every game. That is why I left the da program.

Not just the DA in Arlington, all of Arlington teams. This is how it is everywhere in the DMV with the exception of 1 or 2 clubs. [/quote]

Absolutely agree.

Most coaches resort to playing "kickball" and a form of lacrosse/hockey and having the biggest, strongest and fastest players helps them win possession upfield thereby creating more scoring opportunities.  Ultimately, this form of playing soccer is has not and will not help US Soccer challenge for a top spot in the world which should be the goal and objective of all clubs claiming affiliation with US Soccer.

100% agree!  same strategy to get immediate results - not long term player development.   Viva is no different - Bo loves big fast kids and does not give a shit about kids that are smaller.  Have been observing him for over 10 years.    [/quote]
