This is funny the season previous to the pandemic VDA had most of its teams in the last places and this year a pandemic year with no games against the NC and SC teams they presume they’ve been successful.

Not a non-profit

Straight from their By-Laws:

“ Section 2. The Corporation (hereinafter also referred to as the Club) is formed in order to construct, operate, and maintain in Fairfax County, Virginia, a non-profit, charitable corporation to encourage youth to participate in sports and recreational activities and to provide opportunities for all youth regardless of ability.”


Would need Non Profit for access to fields? unless they own the fields they use?


Is Mclean a non profit or a inc.?


98% of soccer clubs are non-profit. If they are using county fields they are most likely a non-profit.


Do VSA and PWSI both own 50% of VDA?

BRYC could set up a similar model with another non profit


What would be in it for BRYC? They have ECNL. ECNL is separating itself from GA. They just need to wait it out.

Merging doesn’t guarantee players, fields and perhaps coaches. If they felt they wanted Bobby it would be easier to hire him and hope he brings his players than try and merge with a Loudoun based club.

BRYC will not hand over the ECNL patch to FCV.

The spring season hasn’t even started yet and scores aren’t the only measures of success.

Agreed. They seem to be struggling more than others this year. LB and MW leaving in back to back years has to be disruptive. But whatever they used to have that developed top teams is no longer there. Older teams not performing and from what I’ve seen from the younger ages, they are ok, middle of the road, there is nothing special.

.... sure there's room for more to integrate and field even stronger teams. This is good for DMV youth girls soccer.


VSA and PWSI merging? Have not heard that one.


Joke or nah?


No joke--just a partnership maybe for ECNL purposes. Check here and search PWSI or VSA and you'll find it:
