If you want life advice from an anonymous soccer forum, these clubs might be for you. You will bounce around from facility to facility and league to league. It will be sold you as a big opportunity and a sign of advancement, but really it's because the checks are starting to bounce and your club is burning bridges behind the scenes. Your coaches will come and go, rather suddenly, because making payroll is more of a shell game than a business practice. The story isn't new, only these particular characters.

If you want a stable, high-level soccer experience then it's either FCV (if you daughter is elite, and I mean elite) or Loudoun. If you live on the perimeter of the county maybe there's a Fairfax or Prince William club that makes sense.

Damn. You keep outing yourself staffer. It’s known you’re not in great shape... seems like you’re also desperate.

You put two names there. One long gone. The other 3 years of existence and by the looks of it growing exponentially every year. I’m no Buffet but I’d say the business is growing in a constant upward trend thus far.

I wonder who really has an ax to grind when you really have no arguments except talking about secrets and stability.

There nothing high-level of loudoun. Except your fees, the mediocrity of your coaching and the corrupt and criminal-like business model you employ.
Keep repping the red though. It’s basically green at this point.

I don't believe this for one second.

That’s material proof Loudoun paid staffers patrol Internet forums hoping to clean up as much as possible their tarnished reputation. They might still think they’re somehow a good destination?!

PP is spot on. The club is a wasteland.

Yep. Hands down worst club in the area. Once your kid gets older you'll get used to having one or two ex-Loudoun kids on your team, and every one of them has a horrifying story to tell.

Mind you Loudoun plans on raising their fees 10% for the 2021-2022 soccer year.

That should sit well with families, no?

I remember back when they had DA, they used to charge almost double what Arlington/VDA charged. And now they;re going to raise prices on top of what were already some of the highest in the area. Yes - that sure should make their customers happier than ever!

Sure, you can make up things up, post them anonymously, and I'm sure some will believe them. There are still people who really, truly believe an election was stolen, after all.

But Loudoun didn't charge double, or anywhere close to double, what Arlington, VDA, or any other non-MLS DA charged. This is ill-informed or disingenuous, take your pick. And to suggest the fees should be the same would imply the services rendered were the same. They weren't and aren't. A 2-liter of Coke does not cost the same as a 2-liter of Giant brand cola. You get what you pay for.

And I have no idea if they plan to raise fees next year. Do you? If you don't work for Loudoun, how could you possibly know this information? The obvious answer is: of course you don't know. You're some dope on a message board spreading misinformation, hoping to benefit. Shouting into the internet wind will not translate to more players for your club.

Best of luck to you, though.
