Which age group?

I bet 2010s and possibly 11s and 12s.

I understand all age groups are or will be leaving en masse. Girls who are committed don’t want to have a down season before arriving to college. Our younger will be trying out for ecnl.

Lol. Sure.

Is it hard to believe that players will leave a club with no coach and no fields?

It’s gonna be a mad rush to all of the ecnl clubs with the last to move ending up at Brave.

Why Brave? On the girls side.2010s are solid.2011s are good as well. 2008s seem successful with their make up. 2009s could use some attacking players for sure. 07s, same. There are plenty of other clubs who need help in age groups. Arlington, Union, VDA? I can't imagine BRAVE being wide open.

Because BRAVE is the weakest ecnl club in northern virginia by far.

Sure are a lot of crazy rumors going around about FCV and VA Revolution such as BP leaving, no practice fields in Loudoun County, Revolution essentially buying FCV GA...but so far only one is true with CC leaving.

One thing I know for sure is that it would be a total D1ck move if FCV doesn't make some kind of announcement before Virginia tryouts. Imagine committing to a club just to find out the Director/Coach is leaving and practices will be Fairfax County the following season and you have no idea who will be coach or Director.

Can't blame people for leaving during break. Rumors or not, if FCV wants to save itself, it should make an announcement. Treating families like they are stupid is not a good look. The longer they hold off, the more families will leave who don't want to be left holding the hot potato.

Not to mention the attrition rate between about U13-U15 for soccer.

Eh, some might leave but honestly, all clubs are in the middle of an expected number of folks doing midyear tryouts. Add a few extras in there who are just concerned perhaps from the departures.

I doubt much will change going into Spring.

At some ages they will be fighting for spots at Brave, at others ages they might be able to come over with a few friends. Might not be a last choice.

VDA is going through similar issues but at least they have fields and a home. There are only two rumors that are true. CC is leaving at some point and FCV will not have access to Evergreen next fall because Revolution has grown so much. Loudoun has not taken any players as of yet but winter break is almost here.

I don’t think it’s a matter of Revolution growing so much, but more a fact of not having competing clubs using their space. I heard, from someone who would know, that they aren’t close to having it filled and some of the ‘powers that be’ aren’t satisfied with the growth and direction of the club. Understandable when you look at how their top teams perform in EDP, etc. Maybe why they are rumored to be bringing CC in?

As PP mentioned, FCV has known that the fields issue would hit. There may not be an ideal solution, but they should be able to figure it out. CC leaving is a bigger issue.

Field space and location is pretty significant.

Not saying it’s not important, but if there is cash to spend on fields - and they have been spending for fields, so it’s not something new - they’ll be able to find space.
