With VRSC and NVA/LS now both in GA, it’s just a matter of time before some top NVA/LS girls and their families realize that VRSC already has same league, better coaches, better facilities, and better commitment to their girls program, and in time with have better teams. Once they do, they will make the obvious self-interested decision to switch. You only need 2-3 top players from an NVA team to make that decision for VRSC to surpass that NVA team, and then the floodgates will open. I don’t know how long before that happens, but it will, which is why there is so much hate directed to VRSC here—Loudoun Soccer knows they have a huge problem.



Watch NVA vs VRSC 2010s next year! NVA will not do well.

All sorts of girls with Loudoun backpacks have been seen around Raventek so they are looking at all ages.

Leaving friends you've been playing with for years for "better coaching" in the same league at the U14+ level seems like VRSC admin take. VRSC will need to do more to disrupt the younger funnel. No hate here

These questions completely miss the point. No one is claiming that VRSC has produced “noteworthy” teams (regardless of where the players were developed) historically. What we are claiming is that the club has incrementally built (including through acquisition, a very common tool for building businesses) a club that has all the tools needed to begin developing “noteworthy” teams over the next few years and then for many years into the future. Started with a committed investor with deep pockets and vision, then acquired what is without question the best home complex in the DMV (multimillion dollar investment that no other club in the DMV could pull off), then started to add some quality coaches, then landed CC and other coaches from FCV (nationally prominent GA program), then landed national GA platform for girls, then recruited a critical mass of FCV players for rising u13-u17 teams (which already are achieving modest success in first GA season), then opened residential soccer / academic academy, then shifted an exceptional boys coach to GA staff to complete what is arguably the best u13+ girls coaching staff in the DMV, then landed national MLSN2 national platform for boys, then acquired Loudoun United professional team (USL Championship) and stadium with ~5000 seating capacity, then and currently are expanding home facility to include classrooms, gyms, grass fields, small-sided fields, etc.

What other club is even thinking about doing something as “noteworthy” as what VRSC has actually accomplished? If you don’t think this level of resources, commitment and accomplishment is going not only to produce “noteworthy” teams but fundamentally change youth soccer in the DMV, you’re wearing blinders.

I'm still waiting for you to name any club that has noteworthy boys or girls teams that were developed primarily within the club's own ranks.

For that matter, I would settle for just naming a noteworthy team from DMV. What makes a team noteworthy?

I'm sure you already know player development and building noteworthy teams are competing objectives. Player development means sticking with your players and not replacing them when better players from outside show up. But of course you know this but have a beef with VRSC so whatever.

NVA will easily beat VRSC GA teams for at least the next two seasons. But the tide is turning.
but thats the problem, parents want to win more than the girls. And will have little suzy chase the winning teams. I will guarantee any top girl will leave if they don't start winning next season.


They’re already winning. Most teams are mid-table. One top of table. And that’s in their first season in GA. No one is leaving based on those results, in fact most GA teams have picked up players.

Their day of reckoning is coming bc they cant develop players or teams on their own. LOL

There are ZERO clubs with consistently competitive boys or girls teams that have players they developed themselves. They all hold ID sessions every year to recruit new players. It’s odd that you are stuck on this point.

Did it occur to you that CC may have played a role in developing the players who followed him to VRSC? Explain to me why he (and the rest of the first rate GA staff) can’t do the same thing at VRSC that they did at FCV? Same general area, same people, better facilities, and more resources. Head in sand.

All these trolls from LS/NVA on here trying to throw shade because they know they are becoming obsolete.

Go on back to your kickball club and figure out how to salvage whatever dignity is left. Kickball not developing players. And then betray the girls teams. But you have the nerve to come to this thread and try to sell what no one is buying

That’s happens when you put a soccer coach in charge of running a business he has no training for. It sinks.

Most of those STJ girls started with LS and were shed as bad players. NVA will fold as soon as the NVA 2008 team gets their offers. The argument is stupid because a lot of other things will change in 2 years.
