Or perhaps since FC Virginia no longer exists you might try the easier Twitter Handle of The St. James FC Virginia twitter handle for all the updates.

It would be if that ST.J Marketing team had created one already... Only thing I see is a retweet of soccerwire announcement. No OC.

Perhaps the new boss has also said that they will handle Social Media from now on so if you would shut up from now on we would really appreciate it.

Basically, you work for us now and you don't speak for us online in an official capacity.

It would cause Loudoun based folks reason to second guess trying out at a club that has just moved to Springfield.

Sounds like 04 DA may have lost some players? And/or 04 Elite has 100% kids from Loudoun/west and would have to start from scratch if it moved from Evergreen?

The Girls above u12 will still practice in Loudon, they pinky promised.

FCV girls will go to Loudoun and other local options. Barca will probably get the Loudoun Gray team kids that are displaced down the chain.

FCV girls will NOT go to Loudoun - not the DA girls. Loudoun has a long way to go to be competitive. Why move so far down the soccer ladder just for a shorter commute to some of the practices?

This may be the dumbest thing I’ve read here. If the top 4 or 5 girls from FCV da in any age group went to Loudoun they’d immediately become more competitive. Where do you think half the FCV da girls came from in the first place? They could also play for a stable and closely located club. But hey, do what you think is best. Enjoy the traffic, the FCV da kool aid, and your $15 hamburger.

Ive been saying this for years. Why do people fear leaving a club like FCV if their player really is as good as they say they are. Talent shines any and everywhere.

Yet, the players in Loudoun's back yard won't play there? Hmmmmm. Maybe because Loudoun's staff doesn't develop players, just collects U-little trophies.

FCV long benefitted from Loudoun developing players. Until ECNL came along. Then they crumbled and lost.

You're kidding yourself if you think Loudoun develops players. Loudoun started doing Futsal when --- last week? Laughable.

Ahhh. You’ve drank the futsal kool aid too. You’re a darn money train for FCV. Next up cost for you is performance and agility training in Springfield. By the time you’re done you could have just put all that money in 529 plan instead. But hey, when you’re daughter is making $20k-30k a year playing for NWSL or coaching youth soccer, it will all be worth it.

This post says it all. Dumb US meathead mentality.

Your reply says it all, "a sucker is born every minute," and, "I have disdain for the U.S. except for the fact that I live here, am employed here (presumably), and benefit from its citizens and way of life." #CarPoolsandIbuyintoeverythingsoldtomebutwillcomplainaboutthecountrythatenablesthis. I truly hope your ROI for all this is realized, whatever the "return" it is that you seek.

Maybe I should have been more clear - Dumb SOCCER meathead mentality in the US. You're the poster boy.

Well for Loudoun parents you will get your wish and chance to prove yourselves. FCV will be a Springfield based club effectively putting FCV out of range of most Loudoun players. So you will in due course will have nothing to hide behind so it is now put up or shut up.

Loudoun County is now yours for the taking. Hopefully you can do better than 25 wins out of 120 games across 6 age groups in ECNL going forward.

And the rest of the kids are close to south riding which wil, take 40 minutes. That’s not a big deal and what so many already do to get out to evergreen.

That does not validate or support the "All FCV players are former Loudoun players" narrative.
