Alexandria isn't Alexandria because of the number of players--it's because they have the know-how and patience to teach the kids how to play the game.

The Maldonados specialize in dropping balls into groups of kids and seeing who most aggressively chases it. That's your red team

Both sound like great environments lol. I noticed you didn’t talk about LMVSC’s or Gunston’s “system”. Good choice.

That's because they don't have systems, duh. Well, really, I don't know much about Gunston. Alexandria, however, DOES have a system, and you're comically wrong it you think that their success depends on their depth.

I do, however, know quite a bit about SYC (formerly LMVSC) garbageball. Now that kids at other clubs have also grown mustaches, the poor kids who were never taught how to play (move the ball, move off the ball, play fast) and STILL, in their mid-teens, spend 30 minutes each practice dribbling around in circles, find themselves at a bit of a disadvantage, no?

I know a lot abut Alexandria. Their system is a gimmick and they spend a lot of time on these boards promoting their club. They can’t stand on results, so they need to deflect criticism and market.

To be fair, I did not read the previous post as claiming that Alexandria succeeds because of depth. And as much as I agree with you on the value of Alexandria's system, I do think the variability in performance across top teams each year is very much a function of roster depth. The deeper the player pool, the more likely you will be able to find pieces that mesh well in this system. We were at a different club before moving to Alexandria where there were essentially only two top teams, but played out of the back and with structure just like ASA. That can last for a few years, but when the rosters and field expand, you need a lot more players in the club to remain competitive and top-tier.

LMVSC is racist
they need to atone for their sins and all the parents that support it are racist

your privilege just makes you deny that you support racism. you are probably all Redskin fans too.

Given the American Revolution, folks, we should probably also rename a lot of states as well, right? Virginia (for Elizabeth), Carolinas (for Caroline), Georgia (King George), Maryland (Queen of Scots). Also Louisiana probably needs to go. I am all for this. Eliminating or renaming confederate crap is long long overdue. I always thought the Union did it right. Bury 1200 dead next to Robert E Lee’s house on the hill in Arlington and seize it for a national cemetery. There is a serious memorial for you.

Fairfax depended on hundreds of slaves who worked among his 30 Virginia plantations.[8] He was active in trading slaves and, despite his age, he proudly participated in a "little talked about" activity called "bedding down with a negro wench" for which Lord Fairfax would pay a fee to the person who supplied the "wench".[8][9]

Is there a club called Fairfax? Is that FPYC? I thought people here were discussing about the commanding Confederate General.

Okay okay I get it... you WANT to keep Lee Mount Vernon as your name.

I guess the difference is naming a club after a town like Arlington, Alexandria, Springfield is quite a bit different than naming after a Confederate General and an actual plantation.

I believe high school in Falls Church already addressed this.

What do you thing Arlington is? Or Springfield?

Two plantations that evolved into cities, not memorialized.

And Fairfax

============
Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (22 October 1693 – 9 December 1781) was a Scottish peer. He was the son of Thomas Fairfax, 5th Lord Fairfax of Cameron and of Catherine, daughter of Thomas Colepeper, 2nd Baron Colepeper.

The only resident peer in late colonial America, Fairfax administered his vast Northern Neck Proprietary — a Virginia land grant dating back to 1649 — from his wilderness estate at Greenway Court, Virginia. Various place names in Northern Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia are named for him—most notably Fairfax County, Virginia and the independent City of Fairfax, Virginia.

Oh, good grief. The name is associated with the Fairfax Board of Supervisors districts. It's in Lee District, and the home turf is Lee District Park, which removed the RE name last year.
