Wrong. Here are the current GFR girls teams standings in each RL age group:

2012: 2nd/12
2011: 4th/12
2010: 3rd/12
2009: 1st/12
2008: 10th/11
2007/06: 2nd/12

I'll give you, the 08 team is not a good team but as you can see, all of the other teams are absolutely "top 4".


And, yes, the coach of the 08 team is now on the GFR board.

Not only is he part of the board. He is the leader of these shenanigans.

You can even go a step further and see the standings of the 2013 & 2014. Girls side is absolutely solid. This little hiccup between the board and some 3rd party LLC ain’t gonna change that folks.

Falling apart? The club had arguably their best year ever with almost every RL team around the top 4. I think the only RL teams that are struggling are the teams associated with the clowns that just hijacked the club.


PP here can only speak to older teams and they have not been "top 4" since a lot of players moved on from the girls side. I personally do not follow the team that have "the clowns" but based on what we have seen its just sad what has happened to the culture at GFR.

news…. NVA barely took any players. Which is why alliance fell apart. And why NVA is mediocre.

I only have a screen shot of that though. It says they terminated the LLC contract which is the contract NM and his coaches that were from DMV had with GFR.


Well. NM was listed as an Assistant Coach for my kid's RL team and we didn't receive ANY email notifications about this at all. Just the announcement email about RS that everyone else received.

That'll be interesting to see where he lands.
