[quote=Anonymous]The reason why VIVA is smaller is because they don't have a recreational program to funnel players in.  All the players on VIVA arrived there because they sought it out as an option.  That alone makes it hard to recruit because it's more difficult to get the word out when you don't have a captive audience of players starting in kindergarten like Arlington, Mclean, Alexandria, Vienna, etc. But this also makes it a more personal and focused program because there aren't thousands of players being managed.

Compared to PAC, which is a similar travel-only club, VIVA is very successful playing and recruiting players for full teams. There are very few travel-only soccer clubs in this area.

And, the vast majority of players in every program are not playing in college, though for most players on the top/top 2 teams, they could play somewhere if they wanted to.  Soccer players have to recruit themselves in almost every instance, it's not the same as basketball and football.[/quote]
