[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loudoun rejects head over to VA Revolution, but this year VRSC had their tryouts the same time as Loudoun.[/quote]

If Loudoun rejects go to VRSC, why did Loudoun threaten to bench players for going to VRSC tryouts? Loudoun knows VRSC has a better program and sunk to new lows to prevent players from moving club this year. I guess Loudoun wants to hang on to those rejects. [/quote]

If VRSC get the MLSN slot - then you might see an exodus of top players from Loudoun (and other clubs).  However right now there is zero exodus of players from the top 2-3 teams in Loudoun and the only boys age group where VRSC is remotely competitive with their top team is/was 2014.

Sadly VRSC have been moving their top teams out of the higher NCSL divisions and dropping them to level 3&4.  Same as tournaments where VRSC has been moving themselves down in tournament pools simply so they can post better records and claim “championships.”   That’s Nico’s path to relevancy apparently - either buy it or lower the level of competition.

Meanwhile Loudoun is pushing their kids up (eg 2014s playing 9v9 vs 2013s this spring) where they aren’t worrying about scores but focusing on development and pushing their players to grow (although they’ve done quite well playing up in 2nd NCSL division).  [/quote]

Wow, glad to know you know all of the teams so well at VRSC. Also, you might want to get the spelling of Niko's name correct.

My son plays on the top team (black team) in his age group he played EDP in the fall this year NCSL in the spring. The past 2 years he played EDP both fall and spring. EDP didn't have a spring schedule of games this year. Their team was not dropped down to lower divisions in tournaments. They just played the Potomac Tournament (the tournament placed them not our club) they won their championship for their division. He is not on the 2014 team by the way!  His team has never been dropped down a division in a tournament just to get a "win". They are competitive and are improving each year, their team did win against the Loudoun team in their league play this year. Just saying VRSC is out there being a little more competitive than all of you haters out there would like them to be![/quote]

Thats great for VRSC, congrats on the wins!  As an outsider, I'm curious which Loudoun team did they beat?
We have offers to both - still open FWIW - but at my son's age group it appears VRSCs "Black" team played LS "City" team - which by my research is the #3 team.  I am most focused on development, but I'm hesitant to put my son on a top team who's playing against #3 teams from other clubs as I don't think that will make them better.

That goes in both directions.  Loudoun's lower teams are playing top or second teams at other clubs.  Very challenging, especially in the levels where the teams are basically money grabs.[/quote]

Right. After more research it looks like they also played Great Falls, Potomac, OBGC, and Valor first teams.  And NCSL put in LS #3/#4. Doubt those clubs are requesting to play those LS teams (I think they have 6 u9 teams, no other club has that so they have to play someone). [/quote]
