Maybe not GFR jerseys but Washington Spirit is getting out of the youth soccer business.

Based on communication with coaches—yes. I don’t think that type of thing is posted publicly.

I don't think too many players will be asked to play down to the non-DA Great Falls teams. Maybe one or two if performance has lagged. Why do you care if you are not with WS?

Changes are coming. The era of large rosters is over.

That is what they said last year too.

I see your argument on FCV. But many of the Spirit/Arlington games have not been blowouts. At least not at all age groups. Not a fair statement.

The issue is deeper than the win loss record although that is part of it. The instability and questions about the future of the club hurts the perception of the DA in this area. I hope that Arlington and FCV parents are not the ones attacking Spirit because if so they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Yeah. Hopefully not written by an Arlington U14 parent. They have only won 1 out 3 times vs WS VA (record no better against WS MD).

Maybe it was the Arlington U19 DA team? No wait they don't have one yet.

So FCV can add 1 kid per age group?
