Lol, that's rich. FCV recruiting from MU.

Right, Because the only great players in the DMV are FCV players? Laughable. You have a handful of strong players that make the handful of other players look like super stars. FCV just has more of that handful. It is well known FCV goes out and tries to recruit the better 1-3 players on other teams, then those players go because they want a chance at winning. All the clubs do it and FCV is one of the worst. Piece of advice, try not to sound like such a douche bag, FCV is not the only club with talent and most of those teams had been assembled by recruiting one or two players from each team at younger ages now creating the team you see today. Good luck with all that hypocrisy and just remember your DD would never look as good as she does without those handfuls around her that were recruited from other teams that developed her at the younger age groups.

Why is FCV always the bad guy? Someone here keeps redirecting the discussion from one coach to FCV. The problem is not the clubs its the coaches. One bad apple seems to be making their organization look bad. FCV has done nothing more than be a good club. BRYC needs to rebuild from what damage that has been done and rise above. Good luck to everyone and may God have mercy on those souls who need it.

It isn't necessarily making FCV out to be the bad guy but the notion that FCV or any club is squeaky clean is silly. In a previous post someone claimed that FCVs reputation is all the recruitment they need and that FCV doesn't actively recruit players from other clubs outside of the rules.

Yes they do. Should the rules really be in place on kids who pay for the service? No, but they are rules that FCV ALONG with many other clubs are willing to break. If you are a bubble starter at FCV or any club or a back end player they will seek to replace you if they can. This is why the narrative on Mikey moving to VDA has turned negative. BRYC will be losing quality players and VDA players will lose their spots this spring. That makes people unhappy. But it is a practice that many clubs do, FCV being a prime example but not hte only example.

This will only be happening in the 02/03 team. VDA is better 08-04. I do not think it’s that big of a deal for vda families.

Keep thinking that. Even with VDA's nationally ranked 06 team I guarantee the top players at BRYC are better than the girls coming off the bench for VDA. There will be a shakeup at all the ages

They aren’t and what makes you think everyone is following the new vda Director? Maybe his favorites go but most Bryc players will be happy with the change.

Well said poster ^^^ if you feel like your child is on the bubble go and ask, then make your decision on how to move forward. Not everyone gets a gold star and in life people are replaced for stronger people all the time, hard but true and it happens at every club at every level.

How dramatic, this is youth soccer leave God and souls out of the equation. Hysterically laughing over here.

Someone has repeatedly reported posts in this thread claiming that they are defamatory. I have removed a few posts, but many of the reported posts don't rise to the level of requiring deletion. Now that individual is threatening legal action. I invite that poster to review this part of our Frequently Asked Questions:

I believe that a message in the forums defames either me or my business. Should I have my attorney send you a sternly-worded letter threatening legal action if the message is not removed?

No. If you feel a message in the forums is defamatory to either you or your business, please contact the website administrators and ask that the message be reviewed. Threats of legal action are normally treated with a great deal of scorn and will generally result in less cooperation rather than more. Before wasting your time, your attorney's time, or our time, please become familiar with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 provides a great deal of protection to the website operators and clarifies that the target of your legal action should be the author of the post in question. When potentially-defamatory posts are brought to our attention, we will remove or edit them, or assist in identifying the author at our discretion.

As I noted, we have cooperated by removing a significant number of posts. The facts stated in one of the posts that this individual has asked to be removed are supported by other posters. There are no posts saying that the information is false. I have no idea what is true or not, but I am not willing to let an anonymous reporter dictate what is true.

If defamatory information is being posted here, the target of any legal action should be the individual that posted it. I will respond to any legal requirement to help identify such posters. If your intention is to intimidate us with legal threats, you should know that you will not be the first. Do not expect to maintain your anonymity in such circumstances. We will publicize any attempts at intimidation.

Everyone laughed at Spirit (because it was run like a YMCA). But they picked up players from multiple teams. Rosters are online.

It’s known. Action from ECNL is coming.

Players are free to go where they want to go. Other than a couple of showcases there is no ECNL season due to HS so nothing will be done. The kids will showcase with BRYC and leave at the end of the season. There is really nothing the league can do about it.

As a BRYC parent you might just look into other options yourself versus trying to lawyer the kids to stay. If Mickey didn’t want you to come along well sorry about that.

Damn. Is that the kind of youth soccer landscape you want? Coaches out there seducing kids to change clubs, building a network of insiders and favorites?

This is pretty much the MO for any successful club. How do you think the BRYC team was developed?

McLean and FCV are taking players from every club every year. FCV have added BRYC players since Mickey left

True, but they are not recruited by the coaching staffs. Their reputations, the clubs reputation, and the parent networks are what brings them in.

In the case of FCV, the DA clubs in the area have an agreement not to poach each other's teams. You don't see alot of movement of DA players from club to club like this.

In the case of McLean, you don't see alot of new players from area ECNL teams coming in, they typically come from lower level leagues/clubs.

The bolded above is hilarious! FCV absolutely talks to other DA players well ahead of the deadline.

I think what is funny is that coaches can leave in the middle of the season but if a family decides that they need to make a change they are the bad guys? And the coaches that these players want to go play for are the bad guys? It is so stupid. Get a life people.

Why is the club turning a blind eye then?

The club turning a blind eye to their own practices?
