[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His this whole thread basically a marketing campaign for VRSC? Scrimmages against ecnl clubs means they are just as good? Who believes this nonsense?[/quote]

Nobody is saying they believe they are just as good.  Okay. Maybe some of the true believer zealot parents of VRSC think they are just as good.

However,  one way to look at it is scrimmaging against a team that is a little better than you is good for the team.  Scrimmaging against a team that is a lot worse,  or will blow your doors off every time doesn't usually do a whole lot for the team.[/quote]

You might call me a zealot, because I believe in the long-term vision at VRSC and their ability to execute against that vision because of the resources they have in place (first money, then a home complex, then quality coaches, and now national league platforms for both boys and girls). But I’ve been very clear in all of my posts that, as you would expect, they are still light years behind local ECNL teams in terms of talent. I agree with the PP about the lack of value in having teams at significantly different skill levels playing against each other. To me, this suggests at least some of the VRSC GA teams are somewhat better than I thought, otherwise BP would not scrimmage against them.[/quote]

I'm not calling you anything.  In the future VRSC may be better than NVA. I do not know.  All I was saying,  is they currently overall are not.  However,  it is to a team's benefit to scrimmage against a team that is better but not light years ahead of them.[/quote]

NVA is light years ahead of VRSC. I have seen VRSC teams play. 0 skills, 0 IQ and slow.  sure [/quote]

On the girls side, NVA is miles ahead of VRSC.  But they were light years ahead just last season. NVA girls are at best standing still and probably on the decline given the club’s decision to prioritize boys. VRSC’s first U13+ girls teams went from outside the top 2000 last season to being inside the top 200 this season. Yes, that’s still miles behind NVA, but their trajectories are different. My bet is that VRSC girls continue to get closer each season and catch NVA in 3-5 years. Boys will take longer as they didn’t get the same jumpstart from picking up the remnants of FCV. But one club is improving while the other is not. It will take a few years, but it is obvious how that will end to anyone looking at the situation objectively. [/quote]
