Yes, that actually does seem cool.

Being mean is lame, being nice is cool

You’re probably the parent of the “in crowd” with your child in upper teams. Or more likely another employee patrolling the thread.

As a parent of a former player who will not return to Loudoun and having gone through the different ranks/colors for several years I can assure you all they care about is ecnl and red. Black kind of receives a little bit of attention because they’re the feeder for red which in turn feeds to ecnl.

The remaining 3 teams are just cash providers.

You’re not fooling anyone. Well, maybe the newcomers. And yourself.

Is Loudoun really that cool? They go 5 teams deep at some ages. When I see a kid with a Loudoun Soccer anything on I presume they are either Rec or on the 4th team. “Cool” never enters my mind. “Sucker” does though.

Ouch.

You have to be kidding. They haven’t even finished their “supplemental tryouts”.

How much they charging?

Nice try LS employee. That’s what you and your club want. Doesn’t seem to be going that way, though?

In fact, doesn’t the Leesburg area have several options besides your corrupt entity?

At the top of my head I can name Leesburg FC, FCV, Virginia Revolution SC, BANV.

If you are looking at a 20-40 min radius I can name Sterling YSA, Herndon, Vienna, GFR, CYA, ODFC, SYA, SYC, FC Dulles, Arlington, McLean, BRYC...
willing to stretch it out a bit? Then you’re looking at VSA or PWSI or LMVSC or Alexandria or FYPC... yeah, like you don’t have options.

my guess is people don’t dislike Loudoun. They dislike what Loudoun represents and embodies, amiright?

Wouldn’t go to Alexandria if you don’t like getting robbed.

Haven’t sent anything about them. What have they done?

You still seem to think that people care if Loudoun goes bankrupt. Frankly, many people would think it would be a blessing if they did go bankrupt.

They won’t go bankrupt because no one will file that class action lawsuit. Period.
However, it is a fact they lost (they’re losing) dozens of players left and right. Boys and girls. Let alone the rec program - which is a terrible thing because that program alone was massive and brought in mountains of cash. Karma? Maybe. Poetic justice? You could make a case.

The fact is people haven’t really backed down on their sentiments just their intensity or willingness to express themselves online. Their google rating has dropped substantially. Any family that signs up for rec in the future with this amount of info publicly available is just because they don’t know what went down or they’re simply into sadomasochistic experiences.

And that is what I suspect will deal more damage in the long run than a law firm putting them out of business.
Apparently two board members have been professionally asked to leave/resign (I thought captains remained in the cabin when the ship is sinking? Maybe titanic was just appealing to emotions with that scene) and word is their coaches are heavily pushing for those supplemental tryouts on their social media pages to help the club regain the void created by departure of players by the dozens.

As a kid I heard a lot this phrase: “time puts everyone/everything in their place.”

We may be witnessing the universe working in such proficient fashion?

Seems to me most people just want to talk about justice but but aren’t really willing to do much about it other than move to another club that behaves the same way or worse. Or they are just full of it and represent FCV. Either way, doubt anyone will take the time or effort. This is effectively a non story and par for the course for most of there sports clubs.

Ok, Homer. Many of us won’t be making donations to support your ECNL DCs environment in the future.

That’s fine, as the significant amount of $$ we paid for ECNL and did not get refunded for supported your kid’s cheap, rec program. ECNL parents (and DA) lost a lot more than you did. Yes, it sucks but my point is not that we shouldn’t get refunded but either accept it, file a suit, or just keep quiet. My other point is all clubs are doing this not just Loudoun. So I take this whole thread with skepticism on its true intent.

They don’t need to file a suit and they don’t need to keep quiet. The suit probably isn’t worth the effort but constantly reminding people of how Loudoun treated it’s customers can serve as consumer advice.

Not everyone on Yelp wants a refund but they certainly want people to know when a place sucks.

If you don’t like the negativity then perhaps you should encourage your board to do better by its customers. Loudoun is a non-profit who is acting like a profit group. Their existence is intended to serve the community good, rich and poor alike.
