Doubtful it's a Loudoun parent.  I'm pretty sure it's a Bethesda parent, especially with this nonsense:
2007 - Likely ECNL Playoffs, added players,[b] may even have a good chance at National Finals[/b]
 :shock: [/quote]

Yep, I am a Bethesda Dad. Could care less who knows. I don't insult any other club's coaches or players. In fact I may just make an account since I have nothing to hide. This is all a just a topic of debate and I think it's fun. I also don't care about the Debbie Downer's who want to say it doesn't matter, blah, blah, blah. I support the rating of ECNL&gt;GA&gt;DPL&gt;every other league. I believe in mathematical algorithms more than opinions. I enjoy other people's opinions that can back them up with facts and common sense. I know parents and coaches from around the Beltway. I played high level sports all the way through college, and although that was a long time ago, I have seen first hand what it takes to be a professional athlete and coach.

I think you are being exploited by the youth soccer industrial complex to spend way too much time and money  on the youth soccer stuff that is of limited importance, like fake  play-offs for kids, at the expense of the youth soccer stuff that is important.[/quote]

Agreed. Plus GA &gt; ECNL. There’s a local GA team that isn’t a money grab and has a track record of the better college and YNT placement over any local ECNL club that will take any player willing to pay the inflated fees. Stop being exploited by this corrupt league.[/quote]

LOL, you pay just as much or more than Bethesda. Maybe less depending on league travel. Besides, if I pay $500 more a year, I’d make up for that in gas alone. I know this because I am friends with multiple families at FCV. Not knocking FCV at all. Quality club. But throwing stones at something you are guilty of yourself is laughable. Didn’t you go to SoCal last summer? Aren’t you going this summer? No different. The true difference is the quality of in league competition. ECNL has great games every week with only a few outliers. FCV is cream of the crop with maybe one or two teams that maybe will even give them a game. This isn’t really up for debate either. Statistics and results lean heavily in ECNL’s favor and opinions cannot change that.

Where the true money grab is are the private trainers making you pay 💰 for overtraining.

Oh, and I am not worried about US Regional camp. That is highly politicized and well known that with the exception of a few players, the other very best are often not chosen.

A lot of factors go into College, not just a club. Pretty sure that between Bethesda and FCV P5 placement is very similar. It may not be for 03s through the 05s thanks to the turmoil from years ago combined with CoVid, but 06s and down at Bethesda are every bit on the same level as FCV currently. And don’t spit that “coach” crap because college recruiting has much more to do with the effort put forth by the player than anything else.

But yeah, 💯 zero issues with FCV or its programs. Well coached and managed. Mostly happy players and parents with a few outliers, JUST LIKE AT ANY CLUB.[/quote]
