No -- all other clubs are government-subsidized and offer all rec soccer, including All-Stars, for free. Referees work for free -- in fact, they pay for the equipment to maintain fields. Clubs make the money they need to exist solely through surcharges on the ice cream trucks that stop by the fields during All-Star tournaments.

Not necessarily. They charge so much for all-star that a lot of good players stay away. Plus they try to pick two teams per age group so those second teams can be pretty good My kid played twice and his teams were a cumulative -50.


How much do other clubs charge to enter the allstar tournament? LS charges $120 per player.

Why don't any of these teams compete in the SFL/NCSL like the 30+ other clubs who do?



Because they have a large enough pool of teams to have a full schedule. The SFL teams do not so it makes sense for them to join.


Its not rocket science. Arlington does the same thing.


Its not even remedial science , but this cya woman is super unhinged will just keep repeating her talking points until someone believes that her precious Larlo was robbed of a sombrero medal.


At some point, can we get back to the point I was making (I am neither CYA nor a woman, and I don't know anyone named Larlo) about Loudoun keeping its All-Stars together from season to season, which strikes me as unfair to other kids in Loudoun?

Along those lines, I'd argue that Loudoun should form more All-Star teams. Give more kids a chance.

(Note to self: Start a soccer club in Loudoun County.)


LS already has two teams per age group in the allstar tournaments.


A lot of smaller clubs have 3-4 teams in the lower age groups.

No. But there is a U8 team that played up with U9's who are going to Valor in the fall.

The U9's were a mix of the 5/6 regular season teams.


What about the U10 and U11 teams? What were they made up of?


U10 was made up of girls from all 4 U10 rec teams.


U11 was made up of, checks notes, the three rec teams that compete in the regular season.

There's also a picture of the hideous and flimsy medals.

Very on brand for Valor's complete disdain for rec soccer to not post any winners, photos of winners, or photos of any actual soccer being played at their "tournament".

Valor seems to have a dedicated social media person who posts all kind of crap and they barely posted about their own tournament. No pictures or mentions of winners. Maybe they were embarassed over how crappy their tournament was, but they still should post the winners as a bare minimum level of effort. Thats pitiful.
