[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate all the advice, and it seems we're leaning towards VDA 2011 for the boys. It's been confirmed that VDA holds practices four times a week, though this may adjust to three if there are matches on both Saturday and Sunday. The idea behind the four-day training regime is to encourage players from PWSI, VSA, and Herndon to vie for spots on the ECNL team, a system that appears to align well with the competitive nature of academy-level soccer. While VDA may have some teams that don't perform as strongly, their overall consistency is noteworthy. This is something parents should consider, especially those seeking value from a training schedule that offers more days per week than some alternatives, along with regular scrimmages against older ECRL teams during weekends off from games. Practice times are scheduled to minimize issues with traffic, beginning between 6:15 and 6:30 pm for younger groups and at 8 pm for U15 and older. VDA's social media presence suggests a strong track record of moving players into college soccer programs across all divisions. Notably, Division 3 schools often offer generous financial aid to standout athletes, sometimes more so than the partial scholarships provided by Division 1 or 2 schools. Choosing a team that emphasizes actual playing time is crucial, particularly for those who prefer not to engage in or navigate the politics sometimes associated with team selections. While there have been concerning rumors about unethical behavior among some individuals, the focus should remain on the opportunities and positive outcomes that programs like VDA can offer to aspiring collegiate athletes.[/quote]
