Is VDA allowing play up?


You should email VDA about it. Staff is very responsive.

It seems very rare that they would allow this, just like today.


This may be helpful:

"Q9: Can my child still "play up" with an older age group/team?
A: Yes, the option to "play up" based on skill level and developmental readiness will still be available, as determined
by the club and coaches. However, we want to be clear that this will not be based on request but through the
recommendations made by our coaches and technical staff directly to the player and family.
● Important Note: The decision to play up will be a technical staff decision based on a player's skill,
maturity, and long-term development—not solely based on wanting to play with friends who are in a
higher grade."

Right, I didn’t say it was impossible, just very rare. Very few kids play up on vda today, so no different except it’s harder because level of play is increasing per age group.

I think most clubs are if the child is in the “grade up” and in the top team

Watched them against NVA, couldn’t really keep up. Most of the game looked more like kickball than soccer, though they did have one decent player. That player pool Bobby brought over from St. James in the older age groups…Definitely not showing up in the younger ones anymore. lol

Right now, the top three teams are NVA, SYC, and Union.
It takes VDA a few years. They are playing teams that have been playing together since U9. SYC, NVA and Union (old McLean), have always been good. VDA needs time to bring a team together. Also, as they get older, girls will move to the team. This is why you see VDA older years as dominant and younger years mid table.

they didn’t really show up in the older groups either. But ill let you tell it. The kids may be having problems playing between the lines right now but they will pick it up eventually. They will have to as game speed picks up.

They have the best 2013 in our area.
nope that would be NVA and SYC.


1. They are talking about individuals.

2. This thread is for ECNL.

Learn to read you clown 🤡
FVU is by far best 2013 in area. VDA is a rec team comparatively


Are you the poster that called VDA 2012 a rec team too? Heck of a rec program they have going!
