So if we can't become competitive, we will keep losing great players even though we get great players in. We aren't keeping enough all together to succeed.

I know for a fact FCV isn't the only detractors that come here. BRYC is a frequent offender too. If players left, they are pretty rigorously warned off by coaches and parents too. Anywhere but MU. So I think we look foolish by always saying ok FCV coach. Ok FCV parent. Just saying

Is it possible that families are choosing to play on their high school team with friends,ECNL, or a very good local team over being on an unsuccessful / non winning DA team. I don’t think I’d invest the money (at least 5k?) and time if it wasn’t fun nor win a few games. It’s a trade off

If you are trying to assess the quality of the training and the environment ESPECIALLY at a club like MU that, at best, has soccer development as it's claimed primary focus, how can you not be watching the practices and games to make that assessment?

That is a serious question. You have a DD in the club and you don't know FIRSTHAND the quality of the training or watch the games to see HOW the team is playing (not the results)? And then you have an opinion as to how they are developing as players? Seriously?

It would be more honest for you to say, I have no firsthand idea how much development these girls are getting RELATIVE to the other options out there but my DD likes it so we are staying. That would be honest. How a club is run is a factor but at the elite level the quality of the training and the pace and quality of the development is much more important.

DP. I think what he is saying is that MU as a club hasn't existed long enough for you to have watched anything more than 1 game. Pre-season games had a lot of missing players and isn't reflective of the team's. They've only been in season since August, if you count pre-season. Which also had some missing players in some age groups if they were still going to ID camps.

So it's just mathematically impossible.

Mmmmm ok. MU isn’t just rebranded WSVA? Everything is better because of the entity structure?

Just stop it.

And there it is. Proof that it is about last year. That proves you do not know what you are talking about.

Lol. From the guy that thinks changing the name and one month of training changes everything. Ok.

Have a good one man. Hope it’s a great season for all your kids in whatever sports they all play. Bit of advice: always stay truly informed and don’t drink anyone’s kool aid because in 6 months things can change drastically. Cheerleading for a club equals poor decisions. Do what’s best for your child but be honest and always be open to frequent reassessment.

Not sure how I was cheerleading or drinking kool aid but okay. Your posts were misleading so I had to call them out. A lot has changed in the club's approach. It remains to be seen how it turns out but I am encouraged for my DD so far. If that's cheerleading then guess I will bear that burden. Bye bye.

Misleading? Sorry you feel that way. I find it hard to believe people without an agenda here would really think MU and WSVA are not one in the same after only one month of training and a name change in terms of this topic.

Different in the fact that they added a trainer who ruined a club in the NE.

NP and MU parent. Agree that the main change is trimmed rosters (and a few new faces at the older age groups who seem be potential contributors). But disagree that none of them made any other rosters. Several had other offers across various age groups. Not all, but several (and as has been discussed ad nauseum here, several left to other DA/ECNL clubs.)

Main change is not just trimmed rosters. There has been a significant change to the individual and team training implementation & execution (and not just the locations).

Interesting how this assessment is being made without attending trainings. So MU parents have magical abilities to know the new training implementations and executions without being there? And these new coaches that have been to here for a month or less must be be doing some magic to have such obvious and quick results. This is a the MU sales pitch at its finest.

I truly wish every family the best experience.

Over and out.
