Fake news. Someone has an agenda.
Current GFR ppl seem to know the coaching slate and tryout dates. Probably released soon. It’s been communicated to some parents.
What age group has heard something? I have friends with kids in almost every age group U11-U19 and no one has heard a thing since the meeting on 4/23 was announced but that didn't give any clarity into who is running the club in the meantime.

No agenda, it was 2010 boys from what I saw
Which 2010 boys team? That year seems to be set up a little differently, the ECNLRL team appears to be an FC Dulles team and I believe the other teams are NCSL. This is the age group that largely left after last year's shake up.

My daughter is a current GFR player and I have seen nothing. Lots of people are still in the dark.

Entire teams of boys from GFR were at the HYS tryouts this week and got offers. From one sinking ship to another?
What years?

Um, so do boy parents. But there are always at least a few other boys doing the same at any given practice. And still hard to stand out among 150 even if you went to a practice beforehand. You just can't compare the depth in talent on the boys side vs. the girls.

It is so much easier to make the higher level teams for girls. 20 girls at a tryout vs 100 boys.🙄
DP and this is so true. So many girl dads on here turning their nose up at anything but the highest level leagues and teams. Try having a boy and see how easy it is for your kid to stand out when 150 boys show up to tryouts.

My son is 2009, any word on how this stuff affects the older boys?
If RS is not reinstated as XD they will all most likely leave GFR, they are RS loyalists. Same with the 2008 and 2010 boys.
For where? I know Loudoun and Revolution already had their ID sessions for MLS Next 2 so I'm genuinely curious.
They are all fairly solid teams so I imagine they'll either look to replace a struggling RL team at another club or they'll disperse and all go do their own thing. Some of them are multi sport athletes and could end up just prioritizing high school sports. McLean is also right next door.....
There are no RL teams to the West of GFR. I think Valor is the only other RL team, maybe Herndon.
Vienna? Arlington? And the MLS next teams have had ID sessions but I am sure there are still teams looking to add a few good players.
That leaves NCSL teams as a destination...
WOOHOO! A $2500 a year rec program
Unnecessary and dumb comment. There are many very good teams in the higher ncsl divisions.
