Yup losing players, just like the older age groups. Some of the families are realizing how dysfunctional the club/leadership is. Having ECNL is the deodorant that's keeping it from falling completely apart right now.
You know this for sure? Or are you just hoping this to be true. Just focus on your own kid's experience.
They probably know if for sure, because I've heard the same things about girls leaving FVU
At least 3 dropped down to 2013, at least 3 to other clubs (Arl, VDA and BSC) and of those 6, several are top players. People are sick of MV.
Two moving from 12 to 13. 1-2 leaving club.
Two moving from 11 to 12. Several 11 players leaving club.
Several moving to 10 from other club. 09 will be better.
This is accurate. 10 leaving 11s. That’s half of the team. MYS 10 to come to the rescue?
It’s not accurate for the 12s. 12s have 3 moving down, which includes a spring addition, and at least 4 others leaving (not 3 as PP said). They are picking up 2 11s.
Incorrect.
12s are losing their best Players to VDA
Hopefully they don't expect the coaches to teach them the game. the only good thing vda is good at is recruiting.
You mean college recruiting. Yeah they’re really good at that look at the 26 class. That’s why VDA collects all the best players. They’re the best at getting your kid in the school they want. Those elite kids don’t need a coach to develop them. Their parents are paying an army of trainers to do that. They need a club that will market them. And VDA is the best at that. And that’s where FVU struggles the most.

These types of comments are so tired. All the people on this forum say is no club teaches you soccer, all coaches suck, blah blah blah. Go find another sport if everything sucks so much. We are all better off without you. Go to every thread about each club and it is the same toxic non sense.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:smart on those players.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:But the 2012 and 2013 FVU teams will be strong next year.

None of this is a secret so why the weird pushback? What’s incorrect? Hint: nothing.

Wait till next season and you will see. Things change fast in youth soccer. Most of their players left. They are just picking anyone who shows up to fill up the roster. That is a recipe for disaster for sure.
I agree. The strength of most teams can change drastically if the top 3 players leave.
I believe it’s more than the “top 3 players”
They lost a bunch: 2 to Arl, 3 to syc, 1 to VDA, 2 dropped to 12s. That is 8 at least.
2 leaving for VDA - 1 to the 2011s and 1 to the 2012s. This age group change shuffled things around and opened a lot of spots!
Why leave when the new coach is the head coach at GW? I would assume that coach has a lot of college connects. For most of our DDs, the reason to play ECNL is to play in college. That coach should help out a lot with that process.
You can go to GW without playing soccer.
That’s most schools! I’m sure that coach has a lot of connections and could point the DDs in the right direction. I get the posters point from an outside looking in POV
If this is your long term plan. I would strongly suggest huddling up and talking this out. If you are feeling froggy ask JW and dont leave it up to ambiguity. That appears to be the thing biting you parents in the arse. Cant trust that process.

GW? Thee are two local rockstars on that team. The rest are not from the MA much less Nova.

Coach is a straight shooter. If you are expecting him to give you a leg up on recruiting you better ask FVU if they are also paying him to be a college coordinator. If he isn’t it shouldnt matter as its on team family to get DD noticed.
If your plan for staying is for DD to walk onto GW you’re doing this wrong. Unless there is a transfer portal exodus the roster will remain full of non VA talent.
Coaches job is to coach. FVUs job is to market and sell. Are they currently doing s good job of that with the older talent? From the sounds of it you may have a difficult season next year. Plan accordingly.

And the recruitment at FVU is better than….? Beach fc? Its a reason why star players left the last two seasons. Even with the attention the club gave them.Anonymous wrote:There are only 3 ECNL clubs in NoVA so realistically where is this supposed mass exodus of players going? To be #30 on VDA with limited playing time? Good luck with that for recruitment! Or crossing over to BSC? We already know FVU players did that and it worked out terribly for them and that BSC team - and they're now heading back.
Stop spreading lies on heading back. They are not. And there is nothing from stopping a few more parents that care from driving a bit farther to see their dreams fulfilled.
Stop posting like you guys have a captive lazy ECNL chasing audience. You don't. Kids are happily moving to GA and the rest have options because of the recent rule change.
#30 is no longer a thing.

Rumor has it they picked from RL and other low ranked GA teams.
TSJ and Loudoun?
And GFR and NVA
