People are considering other options because VIVA/ABGC have once again shown that they are unorganized and incapable of running a soccer program. Those deciding to stay don't really understand the current soccer landscape in our area and that VIVA/ABGC are a sinking ship and have been on that road for many years. Drive an extra 15 minutes in any direction and you'll give your kids a much better soccer experience.
Why are you on this website? It isn’t about cougars/olympiacos. So please tell me why you are on this site when it is talking about villarreal/viva?
I'm not here b/c of olympiacos, I'm addressing VIVA/ABGC's lack of ability to be competent. In prior pages, someone said they were with VIVA and moving to Olympiacos because of this mess and someone including yourself decided to bash them. This is very related to VIVA/ABGC.
Please read your previous quotes because you are clearly trying to spread cougars/olympiacos. Please tell me why any would want to go to the number 17 team in the state (cougars/olympiacos) because I would rather have my kid go to the number 2 team in the state(viva/villarreal).
I'm not the poster you are responding to, but going after Olympiacos like you are is only making you seem petty, defensive, and insecure. Olympiacos practices at Pine Ridge, in Annandale, so they are clearly an option to consider for anyone currently at VIVA.
As for your statement that you'd rather have your kid go to the team with the 2nd most gotsoccer points in the state than the team with the 17th most gotsoccer points in the state - that may be one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this site.
I'd rather send my kid to the team with better coaching.
Bo gets decent results playing direct soccer with man-children. Always has, always will. Doesn't matter what logo you put on the jersey, that's not going to change. If you think I'm wrong about that, please post video.
You are so funny bo has put more kids into college than any coach in the area. If olympiacos is so good why do they only talk about their 05 age group on instagram and your OLYMPIACOS WEBSITE. I will tell you why because Harry karageorge and his rebels have their kids play on the 05 team.They play in the lowest tournaments and lose. They really don’t care about any other team other than the 05’s.
They don't *have* any other teams besides U10s and U9s. They're small. Some of these small clubs build up to field a decent number of teams (Doradus, PAC, Team America), some just manage to keep up a couple of teams (IFC), and some virtually disappear (Cugini).
Aside from that, I'm really confused. Are we all supposed to send our kids to play with Bo Amato or with Viva?

This *site* is clearly titled villarreal virginia academy. So it is suppose to be talking about viva right? So please tell me why your are trying to make cougars/olympiacos because nobody wants to play in a odsl league nor play for the cougars.
Because the thread title includes the word "imploding," which would reasonably make parents look for other options.
You did make me curious about the numbers, so here's a survey from YouthSoccerRankings. The Viva U14 boys are their highest-ranked team (4th). Coincidentally, that's the only age group above U10 in which CYC / Olympiacos fields a team as of this spring. That team is 46th, but that ranking is probably sandbagged a bit because they play up in ODSL U15/U16. Sure, they're playing teams with a few points, but they're still losing a few games. They easily beat Viva's second team twice in tournaments, so if you want to compare that to Olympiacos based solely or mostly on results, Olympiacos seems to be the place to be.
Here's the problem for Viva. Did you notice who coached that U14 boys team?
