Im pretty sure the ED and TD of Loudoun are the ones that run NVA
Still boggles the mind that folks don't understand Loudoun/NVA are two separate brands operated by the same people/organization. There is zero daylight between the too. Just look at your registration receipts.
Loudoun is becoming more like a feeder club to NVA and customers are catching on. and NVA can't financially operate on its own so brought Riverbend as another feeder club but more as extra revenue. Nothing more than that.
It’s kind of comical how confidently people post on here without actually understanding the structure.
Loudoun and NVA are already operated under the same ownership umbrella and share a lot of the same resources. But because both clubs compete in GA, there can’t just be free roster movement between them during the season.
Riverbend is different. It’s being positioned as an Aspire pathway club, which does allow in-season player movement with NVA. It also gives NVA a stronger footprint in a different county and creates a more direct pathway for Fairfax-area players into the system.
This isn’t some overnight “2027 season” play. They’re clearly building a long-term player development pipeline and regional structure that will probably take a few years to fully develop.
If it is a pipeline, then it's a pipeline without any oil.
They are clearly still building it, it will take time to build the right way. Patience.
they aren't building anything, they're crumbling. they're already letting people go.

You lost me at "aspire pathway"
That’s fine, but that’s literally how the structure works.
GA clubs in the same league can’t freely move players back and forth in-season, which is why the Aspire designation matters here. Riverbend gives them a development and movement pathway that Loudoun can’t provide under current GA rules.
You don’t have to like the strategy, but there’s a difference between disagreeing with it and pretending it doesn’t exist.

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?

Well I stand corrected! I also wondered why they had a free rec program 😂😂

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.
