[quote=Anonymous]Fairfax Virginia Union is not equally owned by Vienna, BRYC and Mclean.  It is basically another, new “for profit” business venture to save coaches their jobs because only one ECNL National charter would be available for Fairfax County. People can research, see entity name changes, and look at the business records at a State level.

There are about a half dozen people in charge of this crap and referrals are underway to bring all of this out into the public eye.  Let’s mark that aside for the moment.

If your kid got a “rubber stamped” offer, pat them on the back, feel good….does not mean it was earned or deserved.  Continue to wring your hands and jump through hoops chasing some D1 dream.  In the scheme of your player’s life…it means literally and absolutely nothing.

Rather, how about we teach our athletes and players “confidence,” “team building,” help them understand that “you may not be perfect or may not always be the best at that position,” and “it is okay to fail on your own.”  No real life soccer coaches out there.  Very sad.  Instead politics, coddling, and profit motives drive the outcome.

Also, parents, please have some damn “self respect” and stop groveling at the feet of these coaches.  The hand wringing is pitiful.

Inflated resumes, poor performance, and glory day heroes - these coaches have, in fact and without question, failed (it is why they remain at FVU, and coach here and not at a higher level).  It is the best they have and can get and they simply use your Northern Virginia cash flow to make their shitty living to survive.

I feel sorry for all the players out there who have the talent, dignity, and heart to be something, be better, be real people of character someday, but just cannot find a club or coach with the dignity, morals, fairness, and respect to contribute to this.

It may not exist, maybe it is all a business.  The ECNL is a business (“More than just a game, it is a business.”). But I firmly believe profiting off of youth and manipulating youth comes with it a special place in hell.[/quote]
