2013 GA parents report otherwise.

Explain

MJ was the 2013 GA coach for the fall 25 season. Parents have been told he will not coach the team in the spring.

Well done parents you prevented a mutiny

And confirmed that even Rev’s GA program is little more than an expensive rec program. Hard to imagine any players who could make NVA or an ECNL team will stay. Will be interesting to see who starts missing practices.

The talent pool will dry up quickly for Rev. 1-2 years and the top teams will be playing in the NCSL again.

There are so many bad teams in GA South Midatlantic that I don’t think they’re at risk of losing GA any time soon, but they missed the window for creating a strong program by reconstituting FCV under a different badge. There’s just too much legacy VRSC still there.

Not a legacy parent, we joined from another club and I can say that the FCV players and coaches are overrated... and the parents...OMG!

Let me guess... ED will be the coach

Good luck with that!

Here is mine: all GA teams except one are top 5 in their table.

There is no point for a team with no chance of being inside the top 100 to involve extensive travel or cost $5K a season. We are pretending these teams are something they are not. That is not a criticism of the teams or the players, it is a criticism of the clubs and the parents. It applies to VRSC and most of the Nova GA clubs.

What a ridiculous notion. Who are you to declare what is a worthwhile way to spend $5k? A good number of the ECNL clubs are not top 100 either. And what makes it worth $5k for the top 100 teams who are playing the same games, traveling to the same places, and getting the same coaching, and same experience?

Yeah, because all of your impending gloom predictions about Rev for years have come true, right? You have no credibility. Nothing you predict is ever correct.

Not sure who predicted gloom and doom, but the GA program has taken a clear step backward since last season. They needed to build momentum to have any chance of attracting talent from other clubs (which is the only path to improvement), but that has not happened. Why would any top players at other clubs choose them now?

How are they a clear step backwards since last season? Do you have an actual way to measure or going on vibes?

Imperfect rankings app:

2007: 262
2009: 82
2010: 320
2011: 275
2012: 207
2013: 159

My recollection is that, other than the U19s,VRSC’s GA teams last year were all inside the top 200. That wasn’t good relative to the ECNL teams in the region, but it was a decent start for their first year in GA, particularly given how bad VRSC’s teams were in prior years. Without a clear step forward this year, I don’t see how the program doesn’t stall out.

Not with that coaching slate. Make changes now before it’s too late.

GA will start consolidation in the Mid Atlantic South next year by demoting STJ. Then looking to demote Loudoun or VRSC in another year. Just not enough talent for 3 strong teams.
They will also take a hard look at Alexandria but my guess is enough girls will migrate from Arlington to make Alexandra relevant. Parents won’t want to play RL when they can drive an extra 10 mins for GA.

Coaching coaching coaching it’s all about coaching and VRSC doesn’t have it. Players will (have) migrate elsewhere.
