[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s official, VRSC will be in GA for 24-25 season.  Will FCV’s players now move as a group to VRSC?  Doing so would seem to be the path that best mimics what they experienced at FCV in recent years.[/quote]

Nice try, Niko!  Without those FCV GA players, you're going to be the Mid-Atlantic's door mat![/quote]

Why would those FCV GA players choose a GA program with an entirely new GA coaching staff and leadership and unknown field situation over a GA program with nearly the same coaching staff they’re familiar with (and that built the FCV program into what it is today) at the same fields they currently practice on?  What is FCV’s pitch for why players should stay at FCV rather than move as a group to VRFC?[/quote]as my friend told
Me. They have a short 24hrs to commit (gunpt)… w rev not realizing the teams want to stay n play together or break apart completely. Buddy said if their kiddo will move to rev only if the whole team commits. As such their kid is practicing w other ecnl teams trying identify which teams kiddo can play in/with[/quote]

Prisoner’s Dilemma, except the current FCV GA players can talk to each other. It’s clearly in their collective interest to stick together, whether at FCV or VRSC, which are the only clubs that can accommodate FCV’s current GA teams in full. I still don’t see why they would choose the uncertainty that FCV is offering over the continuity that VRSC is offering, but either option strikes me as a good one for the players if they stick together. Splintering is the worst outcome for them, other than perhaps for the top handful of players on each team who can crack into the ECNL teams at Loudoun, McLean, or VDA. [/quote]
It's not quite so simple. There are only two GA coaches at FCV. One will be at VRSC but the other will be at VDA. The loyalties differ by age group. For some FCV teams there would be more continuity by going to VDA[/quote]

VRSC GA has CC (current FCV technical director and GA coach), JS (current FCV goalkeeper coach), MJ (former FCV GA coach), and ED (current FCV pre-GA (U11 & U12) coach.

VDA has BP, who clearly was a huge part of FCV GA’s culture and success in recent years, but he was not part of the above team that started and built the club from the ground up, and he is joining a club that already has an ECNL girls coaching staff, teams, parents, and culture.

FCV has an entirely new GA staff, some of whom have not even been identified yet.

Which club do you think is going to feel more like the current FCV next year, VRSC, VDA, or FCV?[/quote]

Tie between VR and VDA. What is left at FCV for current players at this point?? [/quote]
