[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like folks think there is tremendous value in VA DA families attending NWSL matches. I suspect that doesn't amount to nearly as much revenue or value as you think it does. And as long as they are renting fields it is unlikely that the DA operation generates much profit, especially considering the number of coaching resources they devote to it.

NWSL Academies are meant to form pipelines of talent and to expand your brand exposure. With the geography and competition present in the NoVA area for Elite players, I think the process will be decades long there. That is, unless they form a strategic partnership with another club like FCV. Barring that, I suspect there is minimal loss involved in dropping VA DA.It could well be that the bang for the buck just isn't there on the VA side.

From FCV's perspective, I don't see the value in any sort of partnership with WS. They don't need the incremental talent, they can't afford all those coaches, WS brings no significant field access with them, it means a loss of control, and the pipeline to the pro's is there whether there is a partnership or not. Most girls are focused on college and not NWSL anyway.[/quote]
