This is all a bit confusing the way it is currently set-up.

Loudoun only owns the 2 fields at LSP. The rest of the fields they use belong to the county. NVA would still have access to those.

Even if not associated with Loudoun’s rec program?

What does one have to do with the other? Any organization can rent fields through the county. Loudoun Soccer had no affiliation with Loudoun County. They rent the fields the same way every other soccer club does.

It has everything to do with it:
7. The primary determining factor for space allocated to a particular league is the
percentage of county residents for their specific sport countywide. For each non-
instructional league player, you may request one corresponding travel player as
part of your request.
For example, if your league has 100 recreational players and 50 travel
players, you may count all travel players as part of your request. If your
league has 100 rec players and 250 travel players, you may only count 100
of the travel players in your request.


Why else do you think tsjfc has free rec?

Organizations without rec programs or for profits get last priority and all the fields are taken before they get to them.

There’s a lot of competition for fields. In Fairfax, at least, having a big rec program helps get priority.

Im pretty sure the ED and TD of Loudoun are the ones that run NVA

Then actually just appointed a CSO - Chief Soccer Officer (🤷🏻‍♂️) - over both entities. Whatever that means or whatever it is, it sure sounds like the goal is to bring them closer together, not separate them.

All geared towards boys side though

Loudoun does not have HG. I guess they would need to do really well in AD to have a shot at HG, but I don’t see how that would happen when their best players go to NVA.

+1 NVA is in a death spiral on the girls side and is trying to tread water for the next few years. Most likely saw RBFC as a slush fund to keep them afloat.

that shows some pretty serious desperation from NVA

Or pretty astute to identify RbFC leadership and separate them from their money.
