[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You folks done with the pissing match?  Vista is basically a formation of independent teams so some may be good or bad.  To each their own.  Barca is not 4 months old, this is a new location but the training is suppose to replicate the mothership.  With that being said, don't be fooled that wearing a "Barca" jersey will suddenly turn your kid into messi.  Most of the kids in that program was from Evergreen which was not competitive.  You pay a premium for the name and probably get worked by most of the clubs in the area.  They have a few teams playing this weekend in Williamsburg, let's see what they can do.[/quote]

The training with this group of kids is only 4 months implemented. Don’t be so stupid, these are kids and training isn’t magic, it takes time. [/quote]

They have trained together as much as any other team.  He shuffle happens every year so the give me that BS, none of these kids are new to travel soccer.  Keep paying for the brand.[/quote]

You won a scrimmage congrats.[/quote]

So I'm actually the one that posted about the scrimmage, the other guy just happens to see that every year now a team has plenty of new players, so the time together shouldn't matter.  Also, the scrimmage was for 2005-2004 boys, they have been playing soccer, and travel soccer certainly, for at least 4-5 years.  I think a lot of people did see the brand, and looking at their DC progress in past clubs, decided to take a gamble on the branding.  Only time will tell if the FCB Escola here in Loudoun is after enrollments, or if their academy products really do turn out to be awesome players.  I wouldn't have my kid join if he were HS age, the FCB group are too new to the US scene to know about college opportunities and the like; on the other hand a 6-8 yo would be perfect to start and see what they're like at 10-12 yo level.  It would be a very expensive experiment, but I'm sure somebody in the area has the discretionary income to go for it.[/quote]

I've never known a team that turned over 90% of its roster in a year. Yes kids get added to teams but generally core players stay intact. Some kids leave, some kids come in but don't act like it is normal after U9 for a team to have such a high rate of churn. Most of these kids have never played together and to say differently is ignorant at best.
