[quote=Anonymous]I have not heard anyone not being satirical claim that Loudoun is the best at girl’s soccer. Currently FCV has the best 05 and older elite girls teams in the area. 06 is a toss up. To many of the other posters’ points this is potentially poised to change at 07 and younger given all the shifting of late. I do think that at the younger ages there is a market for a quality DA team in Loudoun and western Fairfax.  There is no DA market at 07 and younger in eastern Fairfax and Arlington/Alex. given the presence of Arlington and TSJFCV. They’ve taken that market.

So, MU has an opportunity to capture the western FFX / LoCo “DA” market but only IF they start hustling and capturing the elite younger players from this market.  Otherwise, those kids will just play ECNL at McLean, Loudoun, BRYC or VDA. or will commute to Springfield or Arlington. Based on what I’ve seen to date, they are not marketing well to this generation. Twitter alone ain’t gonna cut it especially if no one is signed up to receive your tweets. I also don’t see many of their coaches trolling other clubs practices, etc. so where is this talent going to come from? If they were smart they’d build parternships with feeder travel clubs like Herndon, GFR, ODFC, FPYC, SYA, Chantilly, VYS, etc. as “their” DA outlet. They would offer specialty sessions for players from these clubs and hold coaching clinics and training sessions for players coming of age proactively. But, not sure they think this way, or they do ... but know there is something else in store for the future and therefore aren’t bothering. [/quote]
