A lot of talent is a stretch... There is one main talent that the team plays kickball towards and hopes she'll make something happen.

I know the girls by name. There quite a few ballers there. So happy for them.

The Boys have already fallen off (they were never really on) and the girls are headed straight for the cliff with no guardrails in sight

yep. And got lower tier players with parents who chased ECNL badge. Announcement will come next spring with the assumption that I expect little improvement.

By the end of the season next year, people will realize how much FVU has fallen off.

It’s not much better on the girls side once you cut out the 2012 and 2013 teams.

Would be a great boost to the competitiveness in the area if this club could get its act together. I don’t think it’s a case of too many teams, rather a lack of effort by this club to attract the 4-5 quality players they need from neighboring teams. Look at Villarreal, FPYC and grab a couple kids. I doubt anyone drives from more than 8-10 miles to play for FVU. What they have isn’t cutting it.

they are going to lose ECNL. Only matter of time

No, I don’t think so. It’s still money for ECNL at the end of the day and they’ve lasted this long with no accountability. They have a monopoly in Fairfax and will continue to exist until another ECNL club pops up.

thats not how it works. ECNL has standard of play. The club when formed was forced because of how bad VA Union and Brave were. The club has gotten worse. I give them 1 year.

Spoken with the false authority of somebody who has no clue. FVU is not going anywhere.

ok .. just wait…. Will be back next year. Cant save what Gene and Tyler destroyed.

On the girls side, the 2012s just won the mid-Atlantic after beating Arlington and the 2013s went undefeated and won the mid Atlantic.

We didn't just beat them, we whooped them!!

Sometimes kickball works! Congrats!

Different ECNL conference and kickball works more often than not especially with 2 closely matched teams. It's why the coaches do it

FVU is definitely not losing ECNL.

Can 2012 style of play win at U15 and older like it has at U13 and U14?

In the spring in high school yes. And with a clinical forward and wingers, sure it can work -- you just need 2-3 chances a game to win. But I have to imagine eventually it won't work. The better teams will have the defensive speed to neutralize that style of play. For the U14s though, job well done. They have to win to get into the bigger recruiting showcases and they did it. But the bigger colleges will see right through the players on the team that are nowhere near that caliber of play. No amount of how hard and long some of the booters can boot the ball will impress the scouts. It will impress their HS coaches, though, and they'll make varsity as freshmen. Clap clap clap. But in reality in a few years it will be a slew of low-level college commitments or lack of offers and I'll giggle when I see how many of those will be a tier below what some of the RL kids will be garnering.

One could easily say the same about your team

We will surely find out who they poached for the weekend.

When McLean was part of VA Union McLean held the ECNL charter so VA Union was not its own entity. This is very different from what FVU is. The entire FVU org is a scam from the "6 national titles" of a org that has only existed for 2 years to any 'union' or clubs that are supposedly part of it.

Its time we as parents wise up and stop getting conned...pre ecnl for bryc, valor, vienna etc means youre in position to make the RL team and thats it

BRYC is technically the club that holds the ECNL charter, but realistically if they didn’t align with Vienna it would have been taken from them.

There are no ECNL “charters”. Please stop talking about something you know nothing about.

This is not true FVU holds the charter. They are their own entity. When FVU was formed McLean and BRYC were stripped of their ECNL charters. BRYC only holds an RL charter as does Vienna. FVU is its own entity with is own board and tax filings. Don't post misinformation please. Families deserve to know the truth

Where are the board member names for FVU posted? I can’t find any bylaws on the website.
