The success in recruiting has very little to do what league you are in. Tophat gets almost every player recruited D1 and they are ga. They beat LS and VDa hands down every year

Tophat beats LS and VDA every year? What are you babbling on about?

Well, bless your heart, I know exactly who you’re talkin’ about, but truth be told, the real kicker is those FCV players who get to start when they shouldn’t even be on the team to begin with.

If they add even just a couple of solid players to each of those teams (who will replace the bottom players on the current team) for next season, they will take another step forward, particularly with the upgrade in next year’s GA coaching slate (NE and ED, who deserve credit for the above, replaced with JU and more MJ, who are more experienced international coaches). VRSC’s trajectory is crystal clear for anyone willing to open their eyes.

His skill in assembling teams is unequaled He brought BRSc the GA and that ultimately resulted in. Bring them Mlsnext. There's a lot going on in the industry and it's evolving rapidly.

BP gets a lot of hate but in the end he is an excellent coach. CC is more genuine and his players respect him.

Another plus is MP who has been doing a wonderful job working with college coaches and promoting players.

VRSC probably has the best facilities of any club in the DMV.

GA is going to be much less travel with the new additions as compared to ECNL.

You can have a beer if you have to sit at practice.

Well funded and driven to succeed.

CONS:
VRSC is in need of another good coach!

GA is not nearly as competitive as ECNL. Top GA teams can struggle against lower table ECNL teams.

Harder to be recruited even on a top team especially if DD is not one of the top players.

Expensive club dues.

Sorry but I don’t know much about the boys side.

Thank Jim for buying out coaches, players, and league spots. Funny how nobody at VRSC is gloating about their boys being bottom of the barrel in NCSL D2 and D1. I wonder why… but hey we have MLS tier 2 aka ASSPIRE for males

Good grief when are you all going to get past this crap of Jim buying everyone off and buying league spots. Face it VRSC did what MLS asked them to do to get teir 2. Also, not all the boys teams are at the bottom in NCSL. Have you looked at the 09B Black team playing up an age group and at the top of U17 D1? There is talent at VRSC but absolutely none of the haters are going to ever admit it.

Just checked the 09 black. lol. 3 wins against the bottom teams. Seriously? That's your golden team? And BTW, it is NCSL calm down.

They only lay NCSL in the spring. The season just started and they are playing up an age group in the top division, give them a break and some credit or is that asking too much. Oh, right you’re a hater so it is.

The problem with these exchanges is that you’re starting at two entirely different points of reference. The MLSN/ECNL/GA dad’s kid is playing on a team that might be top 20 in the country and probably is at least somewhere in the top 100, while the NCSL dad’s kid is playing on a team that might break the top 1000 and might not even be top 2000. Both teams may have very similar success in their league games and tournaments in terms of wins and losses, but they are playing entirely different games.

Incidentally, the 2009 black team is over-performing relative to most Rev boys teams because they have an exceptional coach.

Someone earlier in this thread asked what’s different about Rev. Besides the quality of the home complex, I’d say the quality of a number of their coaches. Their GA staff (which next season will include that 2009 boys coach) is arguably the best girls staff in the DMV. The fact that they’re coaching teams well below their level is indicative of their belief that Rev is building something worth being a part of.

Agree. 4 teams mid-table (6 or 7 of 14), 1 team top of the table, and 1 team bottom of the table. The team at the bottom graduates next month and, if you believe the Rankings App, the pre-GA team should hold their own. Not yet at FCV levels, but very respectable first year in a new league, with reason to be optimistic about the future.

Thank you FCV for saving Revolution. We owe you.

Last year’s girls teams were just as bad as this year’s boys teams, but they made enormous progress this year with the introduction of GA. Sure, that was fast forwarded by taking on big parts of FCV, but I suspect the boys teams will make similar progress over next 2-3 years.

The GA teams are all brand new players and coaches. The girls Black teams are still there and are still bad. There are no GA players from the Black teams. The same will happen on the boys side. The new MLS tier 2 teams will not be made up from current VRSC players, but newly recruited players. It's great progress for the club but don't credit player development for anything. It's all from recruiting of new players and coaches.

So WHATS EXACTLY is VRSC or what does IT OFFER different from say NVA, SYC, FVU or Arlington or Alexandria?

Nothing different honestly. Also, not all GA players are new. That's fake news.

Confirmed fake news. But it’s also fake news that the best players are from old VRSC black teams, unless you’re talking about the U19 and possibly U17 teams, which have fewer FCV players.

At this point, it doesn’t matter where the GA players came from, they’re all VRSC now. But that inaugural season recruiting hstory is instructive of what will need to happen on the MLSN2 side for them to achieve the kind of success the GA teams have this year.
