you had to be there… and this guy was. Shout outs to the kid that drew the dk pic during tha nva announcement. Veogate was a thing… mute worked until people figured out how to hear on the opposite teams veo live. Oh what an experience…Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:This thread is comedy gold! Thank y’all!

Remember the COVID refund fiasco? Or the grand announcement of NVA at a town hall, just like the recent one? How ‘bout the creation of 50 director positions? The revelation of the top dogs' salaries?

At least that’s what was mentioned during the town hall. I’d be shocked if it actually unfolds that way.
That is exactly how it will unfold.
What will be the difference between
NVA and Loudon? Do they plan on keeping some sort of alliance?
Also, why haven’t they dropped the announcement via social media? Do you guys think there will be some GA/MLSN combined announcements.
No way NVA and Loudoun have separate GA1 teams in addition to VRSC, SYC, TSJ, and MYS.
That's exactly what's happening. There are going to be two staged announcements next week.
How does that work if NVA is now just Loudoun and no longer an alliance? Wouldn't both teams just be called "Loudoun GA"?
Whether NVA is an alliance any more or not, it still exists as a program.
It will not include valor, I can tell you that. They have been removed from the bio on NVAs ig
You are aware the A in NVA is for ALLIANCE right? So, NVA can just be a "program" when alliance is in the name. Do you bamas in Loudoun know the definition of ALLIANCE is? Here's a hint- more than one club
So if a team is named the Lions, they have to field actual lions? That's your argument?
i'm like 5 pages behind in this thread and responding as i get up to speed ... i hope/assume you all have already skewered this comment as i move forward. to compare "lions" versus "alliance" in this instance, when the former has been used as a common sports nickname for decades, while the latter was a conscious re-brand of the top team intended to insinuate regional cooperation, is patently ridiculous.

What is the appeal for current Revolution and FCV players? Why would they want to join NVA now?
College placement (because that's where the coaches and club relationships matter way more than the league). There are going to be parents that feel like their players just have to be in ECNL, so they'll leave. That'll open roster spots on the GA team. So many of you all are reacting negatively to this news on the girls side and I can't quite figure out why. If you're not on a top team (national platform) by U14 in this area, you were pretty much shut out. The fate of your DD's soccer career left in the hands of a coach with a preference or the reality that a team that wanted her on that level isn't accessible. We got the addition of SYC and VAR last year to GA. This year it's McLean and rumors of Alexandria. NVA simply switched leagues so that's not an addition. But, there are now MORE places for these girls to find a home and compete at higher levels. Is it going to look great the first year or two, no, but it will get better because they'll have the attention that they're not getting on their RL, EDP, and NCSL teams right now. You all are too shortsighted and selfish for that matter.
But Revolution and FCV are already GA. What is the benefit for them to switch to another GA team?
College placement. NVA has a better record of that. Just because they changed leagues doesn't mean the players magically declined. Since you asked that question that was already answered, I'm going to assume you believe that league affiliation is what gets kids in. It has its pros, but having a coach or director at a club that can pick up the phone and call schools is what gets most kids in. Playing next to a highly sought after prospect also helps.
You will see all the top players currently on NVA ECNL girls teams at VDA and Arlington ECNL IDs. GA is for bots.
I think VDA will be first stop, FVU second, ARL third.
For most this will depend on the commute. For a few they will not care.
Depends on the year too

Hope that VDa commute will be worth it 3-4 times a week especially with the influx of traffic these days lol
Aww, gonna discuss your feelings? It's ok everyone needs a safe space.
I see GA still hasn’t invited NVA. Was the plan to have ID sessions get commits and then announce? If so really classy (sneaky) fail….
Or they are waiting for a joint MLSN/GA announcement. That is a massive pick up for them.
