[quote=Anonymous]One parent's perspective.

Villarreal Virginia Academy (VIVA) more than meets our family's needs. Our oldest child joined VIVA (then AUFC) @ U13, moving over from Burke AC and then BRYC. What I found most refreshing was the time taken by the TD and coaches to explain the Club's development strategy and the changes planned for the future; all of which came to pass once the club affiliated with DCU and Villarreal.

Our child played for both A and B teams in six years at VIVA. Plenty of opportunities to move between teams, as well as to attend tournaments and showcases. The club also gave a lot of room for our child to play HS soccer (FCPS).

Our youngest child recently moved from BRYC to VIVA. The journey here goes from BRYC (rec) to BARCA (travel) then back to BRYC (travel). As other parents reported once our child "fell" from A to B @ BRYC, we saw a substantial drop in training, communication, and commitment from the club - yet, oddly, no change in fees!

As both children play HS soccer, the youngest, who more fervently committed to development, wanted the chance -- just the chance -- to move up; whether via coach selection or tryouts. Neither happened, so when the opportunity came to compete for an A team position @ VIVA, our child got selected and now plays EDP and attends tournaments and showcases. The next 2 years look promising.

The differences between BRYC and VIVA are too numerous to post here.

For the record, VIVA plays in the following leagues:

VA NPL
ENPL
NCSL
EDP
ERL
