What's not true? Disclose where all the money goes? Transparency. How much comes from rec and travel that supports the ECNL program? Disclose it. It's not on the 990. Parents have known for years that money is taken for rec fees that goes directly to travel coaches. Loudoun paid travel coaches with rec fees throughout the pandemic. Let's have full disclosure. How much money from Loudoun gets paid to the county for a weak Rec program? Do t lecture about truth. Open up your books to the general piblic and explain why Loudoun gets such favoritism from the county?

It is transparent. Look at the 990.


FVU for profit. No 990.


Same is true for Loudoun Soccer. The financials are different than the club for ECNL. Follow the money and you will see why Loudoun doesn't want woman coaches for ECNL teams They also don't want it public exactly how much the ECNL coaches and staff are being paid. If you look deeper, many of these staffers are in $1M plus homes Look even deeper and the county doesn't want it public the arrangements that were made. I'll bet the same is true in Fairfax.


Not sure about all of your conspiracy theories but Loudoun is currently a non-profit. Whether they spin-off NVA into a for-profit is another question. Anyone looking to hide the money trail would certainly be in favor of doing so.


NVA for profit.


Stop saying stuff that isn’t true. There’s a simple lookup for companies. They’re not registered. When you pull Loudoun’s 990, it even refers to the ECNL program. Give it up.


to be fair the most recent 990 for loudoun precedes nva by three years.

I heard 4 from some and 3 from others.


I don't know about other clubs, but Arlington boys ECNL(N) teams practice four times a week: three on the field and one for performance training.


Makes me wonder if FVU would practice 4x a week as well... I heard it was ONLY 3x times a week at U13.
is the the same for the other age groups at FVU? 3x times a week?
Other ECNL clubs have 3x a week training and 1 performance training.

You understand the cascading nature of this process, right? They need to get responses from the more desirable players and as they get declines they will work through the lower-ranked players considering positions of need. These things take time, especially during a time of such turmoil when players are on edge, IDing at multiple clubs/considering multiple offers and considering new coaches and where teammates might be going.

If you haven't heard anything, it's safe to assume your kid is in consideration but not at the top of the list.

Could they explain that better? Sure (but I'd argue it's self-evident). But they are just soccer coaches (often with other jobs, multiple teams, etc).


And when these kids are lying about other offers they do not have to get them to make them one....really sucks for everyone else.

I appreciate the explanation about this process. I don’t know all the politics y’all are talking about so don’t even have anything to say about that (to get us to 300 pages). Our kid is just super-passionate about soccer and was excited to be under consideration. He is the one who told us about FVU. We just want to support him, but not let his hopes get too high if there is no chance for him on the team.

Why stop at an investigation. Why not a congressional inquiry with a Supreme Court ruling that leads to a new amendment to our constitution in conjunction with the Pope to be instituted as the 11th Commandment - Thou Shall Not Ghost My DC After Club Soccer Tryouts
