Get your popcorn ready!

This was also communicated to us by a coach at our club, not Union or Brave. It sounds like it’s happening.

Confirmed from our Union coach as well.

Something is brewing.

Something is brewing because youth soccer clubs don’t have timely updates to their websites?

This is a business. Everybody does things in competition with one another, if one club isn't posting during the times their competition is, you better take it as a sign.

Any club obsessed with social media has coaches and parents that should make you run for the hills. Red flag, red flag, red flag.

Fear it!

I found the registration by going to the Brave website and clicking on the register button in the top right corner. Apparently you need to set up an account from there to complete the registration.

No, players and families have choices to take their player and money elsewhere. No one is forcing anyone to agree with their business decision to merge and to stay and pay dues. Don’t like your options, take your money elsewhere.

Well, all of these mergers and partnerships, etc. are making for some very exciting times for my rising senior who's currently being recruited for soccer. The unknowns for the futures of all of these clubs is unsettling. Sure we have a choice to move, but with six+ local clubs (FCV, BRAVE, GFR, Union, DMVFC, Revolution & SYC...) all in some type of transition what options do you go with? The devil you know, or some other option that we don't - especially with only one more year to go? It's clearly not in the best interest of players, but to blame McLean's leadership and BOD is short sighted since you can say the same thing about pretty much every other soccer club is this area.

Announcement should come out asap! Kids and parents need to plan.
