2011 ECNL-RL
2013 ECNL-RL
2014 pre-ECNL
So almost all of their boys 1st teams lost their coaches. A coach who had the 2nd 2010/2013 team also left.
If true, this is absolutely nuts
It is true.

It has a couple rich dudes running it though. I assume they are putting some cash into the start up but long term this club will probably be a huge bust.
I agree with you on the putting the money forward. It'll depend who they link this club with. They won't stand alone, I'm sure there's a big club that will support them and they'll play under that club's colors.
Then what's the point or starting a new club?
Hate where you currently are so you decide to make your own thing but then you realize that starting a club in this area and competing with HYS, GFR, Loudoun, McLean, Valor and everyone else. I don't see any other way how this "club" survives at all standing alone.
Sterling is playing under HYS for girls and West VA for boys. Loudoun has Loudoun East. FCV/St. James has their North and South. Maybe Riverbend will be an extension of another club while still keeping their Phoenix.
Well, if they were smart they'd work with GFR and allow these kids and coaches to stay in an environment that is changing for the better across the board (pun intended)

if the said TBD club offers you a contract why wouldn't you? You act like these coaches are leaving Barcelona or Ajax academy. It's GFR and Herndon.
Same job, more money...byeeee
