Don't expect Rev to get any bigger than they are now. From U13 and older, the plan is to limit 3 teams per age group. It's not going to be like LS that has 5 or more per age group. U12 and younger may have four teams per age but will shrink as they transition to 11v11. There's no overcrowding issue with the facility now that FCV no longer practices there.

Why would they want to limit revenue at U13 and older?

I won't deny that Rev is out make money but they aren't sacrificing quality over quality. The culture is different than at a club like LS. The haters won't accept that but it is. Parents don't leave the club because of the culture, they leave because their kids didn't get moved up or didn't get a offer for the next season. The top leadership at the club are trying to build the club using European methodology. It's not about getting as many kids into the club, it's about getting the best available kids and making them better. Hate on Rev if you want but don't hate without coming out and experiencing it for yourself.

Words to live by: Never sacrifice quality over quality

Please stop European my buttocks. The Revolution is not being televised.

Obviously meant not sacrificing quality over quantity.

What's wrong with following a European model for the club? Building a program takes years. You can't expect them to have the top talent from day 1 but they can build their program to develop top talent over the years. Your trying to compare an established program to one that's been around for only a few years.

Academies work because they have professional clubs attached to them. VRSC is just one of many soccer clubs in NOVA and not a particularly successful one.

What other NOVA clubs started at the sametime as VRSC?

Right?! Name another, they probably aren't as successful either...

The people are eager to get a description and breakdown in exactly what is successful about them. Buying a spot in a league because you’re rich af isn’t a valid metric.

Comparing VRSC's success to the success of well established clubs isn't a valid metric either.

Why not? They are competing for the same players as established clubs

They are not competing for the same players. There are parents like yourself who would never let their kid join a new club. Parents like yourself who need a club to prove their worthiness to have your kid play for them. Parents like yourself who don't take risk. You would rather have your kid be miserable on their current team than join a a new club that is out to build a reputation and establish themselves. So no, they are not competing for the same players.

They are competing for the same kids and those kids filter by league. On the boys side, the best go to MLS Next (aside from the few at DCU) followed by ENCL. VRSC doesn't have teams in either league. On the girls side, the best go to ECNL followed by GA. VRSC has GA and should be pulling girls not quite good enough for ECNL.

Ecnl or bust parents crack me up.

Why would you not go to one of the four ecnl clubs in the area vs a club that has no track record and just got into GA. Taking that risk cracks me up. Most likely you have to because you can’t crack an ecnl roster.

What risk? GA has access to the same scouts and recruiters through college showcases and national tournaments.

VRSC setting up a direct pathway to Spirit bypassing college soccer. This is the EU model. This will take time but will be more successful than the ecnl model over the long run.

Speak for yourself. This is exactly why we left vda for msc. Why play for an established club and team because all of the kids on this team were miserable of winning and competing. We took a chance on a new club and couldn’t be happier. By our DD’s senior year, they may be decent assuming more ecnl players drop down and none of the good players leave. It’ll be great.

"We got dropped by VDA as the good FCV players came to follow Bobby". I shortened it for you.

Close but the problem here is that msc doesn’t own their own fields or have a coach from Europe bc everyone knows someone from Europe automatically makes them a better soccer coach bc it’s Europe.
