[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has VRSC produced any noteworthy boys' or girls' teams that were developed primarily within the club's own ranks? I'm still waiting to hear about one.....[/quote] These questions completely miss the point. No one is claiming that VRSC has produced “noteworthy” teams (regardless of where the players were developed) historically. What we are claiming is that the club has incrementally built (including through acquisition, a very common tool for building businesses) a club that has all the tools needed to begin developing “noteworthy” teams over the next few years and then for many years into the future. Started with a committed investor with deep pockets and vision, then acquired what is without question the best home complex in the DMV (multimillion dollar investment that no other club in the DMV could pull off), then started to add some quality coaches, then landed CC and other coaches from FCV (nationally prominent GA program), then landed national GA platform for girls, then recruited a critical mass of FCV players for rising u13-u17 teams (which already are achieving modest success in first GA season), then opened residential soccer / academic academy, then shifted an exceptional boys coach to GA staff to complete what is arguably the best u13+ girls coaching staff in the DMV, then landed national MLSN2 national platform for boys, then acquired Loudoun United professional team (USL Championship) and stadium with ~5000 seating capacity, then and currently are expanding home facility to include classrooms, gyms, grass fields, small-sided fields, etc. What other club is even thinking about doing something as “noteworthy” as what VRSC has actually accomplished? If you don’t think this level of resources, commitment and accomplishment is going not only to produce “noteworthy” teams but fundamentally change youth soccer in the DMV, you’re wearing blinders.[/quote] With VRSC and NVA/LS now both in GA, it’s just a matter of time before some top NVA/LS girls and their families realize that VRSC already has same league, better coaches, better facilities, and better commitment to their girls program, and in time with have better teams. Once they do, they will make the obvious self-interested decision to switch. You only need 2-3 top players from an NVA team to make that decision for VRSC to surpass that NVA team, and then the floodgates will open. I don’t know how long before that happens, but it will, which is why there is so much hate directed to VRSC here—Loudoun Soccer knows they have a huge problem. [/quote]
