Are they all full time players? That is horrifying!


It’s ok, VDA is recruiting. Come on let’s go. VDA, where no player is turned away. We only turn our backs to the existing.

Coached my DD this year, an amazing coach that finds a way to connect with his players, the girls are very upset he is no longer with BRYC.


There are a few girls who are planning to try and follow him. And there are some who are happy he is gone.


Not on Mikeys teams, his teams were all visibly upset when they were told at training, almost all in tears. I drove carpool that night and it was not fun



Maybe a few parents are happy he is gone? He is polarizing


Not me, now I have to drive to Woodbridge.


Oh, snap! One VDA starter to the bench already!


Hate to stir the pot more, but BRYC parents have been meeting with Matt Lacey and Mikey. It has been told that they are going to make 2 VDA teams. New ECNL rule. ECNL 1 and ECNL 2. Helps the recruiting process. No player left behind.


Please stop, the crazy ones on here will think you are being serious


Now that our DDs are driving there’s no stress on us parents. How many girls can be rostered on a ECNL team?


I believe 25 but only 18 per game.

he will be coaching boys


I currently have dd at vda and wish this were the case but word is he is the girls director and will coach girls teams. I am surprised he is coming considering how little vda leadership has thought of him over the years. I am not excited about him coming nor is my dd.


Nope, boys


You're wrong, he is going to be on the girls side as the Director Alex Herrera is taking over as Boys Director. Mikey would never have left his Director job at BRYC to just be the boys coach taking a huge pay cut. He is taking over as the Girls Director (will be released this week) and it is rumored that he will take over the 04 and the 06 VDA girls teams. If this happens the 06 team will continue their success and the 04 team will become a top contender in the 04 age group, however, all age groups will benefit because he will bring in the correct training structure. Just a piece of advice to the VDA families, relax, rumors are just rumors so we will see, VDA administration is smart and will release the news when they are ready and we are all ready to receive the news. He is a great trainer so if you do get him you will be happy, don't listen to all the rumors those come from those who's kids just didn't make the cut or don't know what hard work is (Just like at any of the clubs).



Nope, I spoke with Alex. They are switching.


I guess Alex was wrong?



?????????


Alex Herrera? Alex Silver?


I think that person was just stirring the pot that wrote “Nope, I spoke with Alex. They are switching” because neither Alex’s would spread rumors. You know how it goes.. I get to say what ever I want and name drop since I am Anonymous. Clearly the name dropper had it wrong. Why is it that it seems people want VDA to fail so much? We are talking about little girls... congrats Mikey welcome to VDA and for those who are hearing bad rumors try to have an open mind and stop believing everything you hear, have a conversation with the guy and an open mind.. who knows he might really help to make your DD better. Blessings!


Your kid is gonna get cut.


She will be fine but thank you for the concern.


Keep an open mind. Many outside people are now interested in VDA.
Bless your heart


Players will follow Mikey but also players that have been traveling to Mclean and Loudoun from Haymarket/Gainesville will be looking at VDA


Matt Lacey will not let teams be dismantled. Maybe adding players but it’s not what some are making it out to be.


That doesn't mean players won't be ignored or overlooked or frozen out of practices and games...


I guess they will just going to have to work their butts off and prove that they are top 11 then.


Here is the thing, any kid he brings in has already proven themselves to Daddy Warbucks. Your kid won't get the chance to prove her worth. He isn't going to bring kids in who he does not believe to be top 11 already. If 4-5 kids follow him half your starting roster got benched.


What a sad person. Get a life


Just being realistic. Perhaps none of his kids follow, but if any do there will be no open competition. They will be starters. This is how it works.


Because you know how it works. This site really has some terrible people on it


Clubs hire competing coaches all the time as a way of grabbing players. This is not uncommon. Not that Daddy Warbucks isn't a good coach but you can bet your life that he is on the phone with parents of his his favorite players "encouraging" them to come and "tryout at VDA". And if he has coached kids for 6 plus years why would he let all that work just go down the drain.


Just go away !!
