The poors are no longer allowed at VDA. Unless the pathway is to RL. VDA families are also cut from the cloth of Royalty. If you dont drive an ev or land yacht you are not part of the cool kids.

Double for BSC and triple for McLean. Kids take the heli to practice.

If BP senses you come from money, you'll be alright.

Wont need to. If players hit accept in PlayMetrics. The real desperate one makes the self advertisement and instagram post. No one asked for this cringe post. Also if insinuating other things, it cant be less cringey than following players instas and asking for cycle dates for injury purposes. We get it for science and optics. But ick

What post?

this whole bloody thread. Its just a desperate add to push parents into a fomo decision

Only the dumb ones that know nothing about soccer. You will never be successful following the gossip and believing every insta post.

Objectivity is lost here. One of the best players in the SEC is an FCV product. I watched her develop as a player since U14. My daughter played with and against her. She is a great player who was developed by BP and the FCV organization.

But it's SEC!! Not a soccer powerhouse

Regardless she got it off her own muscle and supporting teammates and family. Not just a hashtagged coach. Has he even came to a game to watch her?

FCV is not VDA
BP was at FCV for a hot minute and never developed anyone or anything. You can thank CC!

Thank you!!

McLean was at the top of the heap for five or so years with many of its players being picked up by FSU, UNC, UVA, Gtown and other high-profile programs. Now it is VDA that seems to have that role. VDA was starting to raise it profile with a very good 06 yea bit now it seems like they have multiple strong teams. Given the population and taken in this area, it is good to see at least one team compete with some of the other more renowned programs around the country.

Top players flocked to VDA = Good Press for Placement = more good players flocking to VDA. The club doesn’t even have to work hard at this point. It advertises itself. Players just need to maintain standards.

I surmise this is why parents are crying about these two teams being wiped clean next season.

If that player is MT. Please stop posting this nonsense. SHE and her supporting team put in a lot of work to get her where she is. Dont get embarrassed on this post like the rev post. Was not developed by BP. She joined a winning team and helped push them over the top. Lovers her old coach but to put her success squarely on his shoulders is flat out disgusting. Full stop big ego man.

Anonymous wrote:Answering your topic question. No, they are not the best club to get recruited from. A lot depends on the player, family and mainly academics.

Academics do play a part as do family resources but at the top level, unless your are talking about elite academic schools like the Ivies, Duke, Stanford, etc., and even then you need to be an elite player, what you can do on the field and the impact you can make in helping that team make the tournament matters. A coach might use one or two roster spots for a kid that will not play but whose parents have resources but the name of the game is winning and these coaches want players who can help them win. Where do they find these players? They find them at youth clubs that win.

This year VDA has managed to recruit the bulk of those players. Some years it’s more spread out. But for those players it has little to do with the club they play for, even though parents think it does. Those same players could be at any number of other clubs and land the same D1’s. Because they are the best 40-50 soccer players in the area.

My experience tells me differently. My kid played for several ECNL clubs during her youth career. We moved during HS but in her senior year she decided to return to a former club because the program and style of play was a better fit for her preparation for college. As a matter of fact, there were several players each year who left clubs where they grew up playing soccer for this club in their senior year because the club had a reputation for preparing girls for the next level. I can also tell you that college coaches know which clubs and coaches best prepare kids and they will recruit those players from those clubs.

So I disagree wirh the above poster — Clubs and coaches matter. It is not a coincidence that VDA has a roster stacked with DI commits.

I have been away from the youth scene for a few years and when I returned, VDA had become a powerhouse and McLean disappeared from ECNL and FCV lost its status as a top club. Now it all makes sense.

None of these teams are good ....just stop. KICK and RUN no IQ
