Are you two really debating the performance/inconsistencies of 13/14 year old girl soccer players? Good grief.


They are talking about U10!

Bethesda is overrated anyway. Even a parent comes on here and uses a scrimmage from over a year ago as an example and acts like scrimmages mean more than games.

Those parents could be the most toxic in the entire country for 2010s. Ask anybody around here.

Not sure your point. In ECNL you cannot hold tryouts until March. When would they do it? Confused.

That is definitely true. The way they are playing now they will lose to NVA or Skyline. Hopefully the coaches can get them back on track with all the uncertainty

I would say so as the Ukies beat up on your ECNL teams that were in the top flight at WAGS and we beat the Ukies. But to be fair they are 13 and 14 years old and so inconsistent they will play lights out today and horrible tomorrow.

The recent performance of that team goes beyond "inconsistencies"

To answer your last question. I guess we will see if they play Union, BSC, or VDA. Parents talking is fun and this is entertaining but the girls will have to perform to back my trash talking up

I predict they will have a better spring if the coaches motivate them through all the uncertainty. This fall will be fun once the dust settles. If VAR is able to get the 11s, 10s, 09s, and 08s to come over then VAR will compete well in the GA Mid Atlantic conference. They will have a home with fields, restaurants, weight room, lockers and more no other club in Loudoun will have that.


FCV 10 got a lucky win against Bethesda and now crown themselves the best team in NOVA. Do your league losses not count? Are the teams you lost to in GA better than Union, BSC, VDA?

Definitely feel for the teams since it will be hard to motivate them to play for a club that appears to be dissolving and a coach leaving for greener pastures.

They don't really have them beyond U15 though. I think they only fielded 2nd teams for U13-U15 and beyond that if there were bubble players they would just double roster on a GA and United team.


They have a U-17 United team that practices at Hanson. That team has a large roster. So much so that they kind of split it in two and one team plays EDP and the other plays NCSL. But to the best of my knowledge, none (or *very* few) of those players have ever played with the U-17 GA team.


Yep. Not many players float between their United and GA but there are times it happens. Even for the GA2 teams, not many of those players end up moving up to the actual GA team.

It's a system that's in place elsewhere as well. At other clubs you'll rarely see a lot of kids get pushed up through to the 1st team. It happens but not often, the lower teams are opportunities to show out.
