[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to imagine entire FCV teams moving wholesale to VAR even if they get GA. The top players will have their choice among the area programs and especially those U15 and older will want to take a path with proven and immediate college recruiting which is going to be established clubs with ECNL. VAR would likely not be going to GA playoffs or in champions league events which is FCV’s big advantage in secondary league like GA. That’s why I agree it will take several years at least for VAR to build its program on the girls side.[/quote]

This.  Without stirring the ECNL vs GA pot, the overwhelming majority of parents with kids on FCV GA teams are not ignorant when it comes to leagues, clubs, coaches, etc.  Everyone has their own individual reasons but generally speaking, most FCV GA players aren't there primary to "have fun playing soccer with their friends" (which is largely the case with Revolution's current player base).  They (or their parents) are on an FCV GA team because they're serious about soccer and obviously, at the older ages, that typically means wanting to play in college.  To get entire teams of FCV GA players to move over to Revolution, CC will have to sell the idea that it's "still going to be the same FCV standard, same coaches (sans BP), same training, etc." just with a new name.  How successful he'll be at that remains to be seen.  As an FCV parent, are you willing to trust that?  Are you confident that six months in, your DD isn't going to end up being coached by a guy with nothing more than a 7v7 license?  It will be interesting to see how many FCV parents/players are willing to take that chance.  If I'm an NVA coach, though, I'm probably looking forward to seeing a lot more faces at ID sessions this spring...[/quote]
