So many that really have NO clue about FCV, showcases, recruiting, training...[/quote]

It is real simple. The soccer talent is getting less concentrated with each rising graduation year due to more and more “elite” options. In a very short period of time it will no longer be enough just to be on a FCV DA team. When it was just McLean and FCV being kid 15 still meant you were kid 30 all of NoVA. Going forward being kid 15 at FCV or ANY DA/ECNL club means you are now kid 100-120 in NoVA. This is the simple product of dilution.

So if your kid is a rising U13/14 and you’re kid is not a top 5 player or at least a starter on the team then you should be thinking about a future change where you can become a starter. DA has not yet separated itself as the elite league either to bail your career sub out either. [/quote]

I strongly disagree with your statement. But you know, opinions are like ______.

Opinions are like you?[/quote]

Since you asked, No.

But I do know facts: 3 of the top 5 players at MU tried out for FCV and didn't make it at the 05 age group.  FACT.  So the Spirit/MU rosters starts at player #19 at highest in the area. Sort of goes against the bench players at FCV being worse than the top 5 at every other 'elite' club in the area.

Truth is, FCV's rosters are deeper than any 'elite' club in the area. FCV rotates starts among all players mostly and regardless of who starts, players play equal time for the most part.

But you wouldn't know any of this unless you were part of it.  But by all means, continue to sling the false information and conjecture if it makes you feel better.[/quote]

New poster--the above example says nothing about either club.  First, you have no idea if the 5 were "top" or "bottom" players.  The fact they were trying out makes it more likely they weren't the top five.   Second, FCV and MU aren't the only two clubs in the area.  So you can't make judgments about where a particular player fits in a ranking scheme.   FCV rosters are relatively deep as you go up in age, the younger years are where you see more dilution across the area.   The PP was correct that it's best for the player at the younger years to start at an elite option somewhere, to get minutes and exposure.   Playing under pressure to perform in a game is different than practice and something you don't get much of when you spend most of your time on the bench.  As mentioned by someone else, if you are a perennial sub on an FCV roster from  u14-u17, you will not even show up on a u19 roster, you will be gone, and have lost your chance to compete and sign with a D1 school as well.  It's not rocket science and very bizarre that you are arguing against such simple logic.[/quote]

Well I do know they were in the top 5...

Play in this area long enough and you get to know the top players and parents. Most are great and just want what is best for their kid.

Follow the thread, FCV splits time...there are very few every game starters. Time is split equally as the rosters are deep. Maybe that will change, who knows. But the statements being made up as 'facts' and 'simple logic' are just that, made up.[/quote]

Isn’t the whole point of the DA no return sub rule intended to develop and teach players how to play a full game or close to a full game like the rest of the world plays?[/quote]

Well I don't know the intent behind the DA rules on substitution (website says to conform to the same way the rest of the world plays), but they can sub across 3 moments at U14 and below, which allows for the equal time. The game management by the coaches for the most part is pretty good. [b]At U15 and up there is no re-entry. But the game management is good and time is distributed very well. [/b][/quote]

You just contradicted yourself. Welcome to U15 big girl soccer. Subs do not get equal playing time. Not even close. That's the point.[/quote]

No, I didn't. A player may play 1/2 or 2/3 of one game while another player plays 1/2 or 2/3 of another game.

If you are talking in a single game, you are correct that it is not equal as that would be very difficult.  Across the season though multiple games, it is very balanced.[/quote]

If it were very balanced, as you describe, then minutes would be almost equally distributed amongst all players.   They aren’t. [/quote]

And you have gone game by game and totaled these minutes? Come on!?!

You are making a guess, plain and simple.[/quote]
