I apologize if this has already been answered, but I'm a little new to this thread. Why did the coach of BSC 10 get fired by FVU? Seems like he was doing well over there and was asked to leave, why?

Because he wouldn’t play kickball.

Come on, I'm being serious. What happened?

He was told to choose between Union and GFR after GFR bought his contract-for-hire coaching company a year earlier. He chose not to dump GFR. Union didn't renew his contract for the following season, but let him finish out his term for the rest of the season including the playoffs. During that time, he negotiated an offer with Bethesda to keep coaching both programs and some of his players followed him to Bethesda. Pretty straightforward.

Why did Union make him choose between GFR and Union? Union invited a bunch of no name clubs to join afterwards — why not just add GFR? At some point it seemed like GFR was going to join.

I don't think GFR was ever going to join Union, not with MYS pulling out at that time. I think the clubs that have always seemed like a more obvious merger are MYS and GFR. Those 2 clubs together would make for a competitive club and probably draw a lot of talent from the folks digruntled with FVU and NVA, etc.

agreed, would love to see the MYS & GFR unification as well and try to take the best of both clubs in terms of fields and coaches and badges. But the past 5 years make me think that no 'union' can survive in the ego-driven world of soccer. Is VDA the only successful union of two clubs where success means having teams in one of the top leagues and the partnership staying intact for 10+ years? I'm not counting FVU because the union keeps changing, and NVA is controlled by Loudon (or whatever the exact arrangement is). MD teams seem to have some successful unions (Celtic, Armour) though I'm not sure how long those have existed, so is this a VA problem?

What’s in it for MYS to merge? Most of the talent on the girls side at GFR is gone…

Same could be said for MYS. Since their move to GA it is no longer a destination club for girls in the area. In fact there is a slow trickle out and a lot of in-fighting. So, whichever MYS mom or dad wrote the PP ... sit down and be humble.

Not the PP but you GFR apologist are hilarious. GFR is in shambles and shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence as MYS. VRSC just stole all of your good players on the girls side. GFR was never a destination club in the past and given recent events will never be in the future. I don’t get the arrogance that some of your uninformed parents exhibit. gFR is a second rate club always has been. LOL

lol. Have fun at VR$C. Pound a few moms for me.

BSC 2010s reached their peak prior to FVU girls moving over. You guys should be happy that the days of the 11 person rotation are over.

how do you rotate 11 players in a soccer game?
