This is actaully how most clubs run things. In fact, most clubs try to keep the tiers separated as best possible, so parents can't compare players side-by-side from different teams and question why the player assignments don't look right.

Your daughter was obviously not a starter.

Leesburg staffers don’t want you to know their performance record and stories that come out from an organization with 5-6 tiers of soccer… just try not to laugh

Loudoun 07s are very good... tied for top of their bracket. I think more credit is due to most clubs as it ebbs and flows.

FCV have great 03/4s... but their 06s are weakest. Happens

A lot of the FCV 04s left. 03s graduated. So... FCV is very weak also.

False: None of the FCV 04s left.

False - at least 3 have left including my DD.

On the girls side - I also think the problems are on the U9-U12 side. All the parents they have coaching (thus favoring their own kids playing time and development) are running the most talented girls off. The best players end up leaving early (U9-U12) and joining Mclean, Arlington, SYC - and they never come back.

I think you are speculating and perpetuating tired tropes. The players practice together so how is anyone getting favoritism with their development? The most talented players in that age range who are part of the player pool (i.e. not on a Bridge team) are on the top teams or playing up. The U10s only had one team, so how could they run any of them off? U11s are playing up with U12s quite a bit, so how could they run them off? The U9 top team have only lost a few times this Spring in league and tournaments, and one of those Ls was a PK shootout in a tournament which suggests the delineation of the pool was correct (and in defense of the "second" U9 team they have several U8s among that group) and while some players from the top teams are leaving they aren't being "driven off" like you speculate. Their families are either moving and if not they are making their own choice to leave and be coached by Jaon or whatever the name is of the polarizing McLean coach.

Where does the money go? it is a poorly run club.

The issue is not money. In any youth club, money comes in, money goes out. The issue has to be their level of dysfunction as well as the ego of its leaders. The club as a whole is not very good in selling to their community. They should take a moment and ask, why do players in the Springfield, Mount Vernon, Gunston, south county, etc. areas that are good enough to make an ECNL/GA/MSL team, drive past BRYC on their way to Alexandria, FCV, Arlington and McLean. It seems clear that the board should start looking elsewhere for some leadership, MD, BM.

LOL. BRYC may be done for, but FCV is not getting in. You know nothing.

I kinda of said that champ. Take a breath and read

Except you didn't

“Or just get rid of one club altogether” should speak for itself. That means FCV doesn’t get the slot

Can’t really blame the coaches who left, the blame lies solely on the coaches who stayed and didn’t make changes sooner!
