[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nice thing about Richmond club and why it stays strong  is that they don’t have a lot of girls club hopping like they do in NOVA. Too many options up there and everyone is happy to poach you from another club. 
The girl in question was 100% recruited by multiple schools after she suited up with Richmond. I caution against believing anything you hear about offers, scholarships, money, etc.  because most people keep that under wraps. Who wants to let your soon to be college coach know you’re out there flapping your gums about their offer?

She left VDA when they switched from DA to ECNL and VDA got upset with her (or her parents probably)  when they started looking at other options trying to stop the bleeding after one of their other top players went to BRYC immediately.   Richmond has girls from Charlottesville, Williamsburg, and Jordan Caniff actually lived in Maryland as do a few others in the club. So far no one is going  Richmond from NOVA - plenty of other options up there but Richmond consistently produces strong teams and gets their girls recruited to top soccer programs.

If you look at the standings every age group has a different team in first place in the ECNL Mid Atlantic. [/quote]

To be fair, there are some Richmond and Williamsburg girls going to Nova.  I even heard of Charlottesville and some other outliers.  Some legitimately prefer DA over ECNL (not to argue good or bad. It's their preference.  Maybe they don't like their high school teams), and Richmond isn't all things to all people.  [/quote]

It's funny to hear folks giving RU credit for developing players and teams. They're decent at it for sure, but the primary reason they are as strong as they are is geography.  There is a greater volume of elite players in NoVA, it's just that they're all spread across 5-6 clubs vs one in Richmond.[/quote]
