Huh? Loudoun was not at that tournament, there were no Loudoun players there. Unless you are trying to discredit Loudoun for the behavior of some former player's families. LOL

this is a good example of how it works when you combine Loudoun and FCV players. Both sides were represented here

it was actually after the second loss 0-2.

Its true. This is the worst, but not the first time this group has gotten into it on the sidelines. In the past its been vs the other team. This time the parents created a huge scene because they were yelling and cursing at each another blaming each other’s kids. They were yelling ‘f*** you. Your kid sucks and that’s why we lost’ ‘your kid won’t even make the team next year’ and other curse words. They went back and forth for 10 minutes and other parents from their team had to pull them away. This was on the sideline a few minutes after the game ended. That's why some of these teams are so toxic. This is what they hear at home so that's how they treat their 'teammates".... I mean the other girls who are also on the team.

Rumor mill says parents turned on each other after a 0-7 loss and were screaming expletives and accusing each other's kids of being to blame. That is NOT good if true.

Not good? That's fantastic!
I want to hear every detail.
One teams parents fighting against another teams parents is dull...turning on each other is highly amusing.

Ding Ding Ding!!!!! I am with you!! I want to hear it all

Yep. I can honestly say in all of my years as a player and a parent, I have not seen a same-side parent fight. Do they bad-mouth kids behind their back (totally wrong, btw)? Yes. But, I've never seen it escalate into a sideline fight.

How do they stand to go to any games after such nonsense? What do they think their kids think of this? What impression is it making? Soccer is a TEAM sport. This behavior is ludicrous and I would leave the team and be concerned if the Club did not address it.

I'm embarrassed for them.

They also are very willing to take money from parents who have kids that should not be playing travel soccer, and to swap out professional coaches for parent volunteers. Bordering on a fraudulent business practice. Their administration is also poor, bordering on comical.

Unless your daughter is good enough to play DA, or you just want her to play travel soccer, you live near Bles or Evergreen, and $2-3K a year is pocket change for you, I’d recommend staying away from FCV.

What age group and which side boys/girls have you seen that on? Haven't seen that at all with the younger age groups and the boys teams seem to have quality coaches...The TD who also coached boys teams got hired as the Spirit Head Coach, so there is at least some top coaching in the non-DA portion of the club.

Heard the same. Didn't hear any more detail than that but it seems like a set of parents that need a serious reset. Poor kids.

Interesting that an FCV DA thread was chosen to bask the non-DA parts of FCV. Not saying that you are right or wrong, but I comes across as silly to post this on this thread especially when you added in your message that FCV has the best DA teams in NOVA. I clicked because I thought I was going to read something that was relevant to the thread. But I was mistaken.

believe me, having been at FCV for 7 years, if you leave they don't care.

They are the the most ruthless club and the parents are the most competitive with each other. Good luck, but my are thrilled to be elsewhere.

ID Sessions for next season (2019-20) are posted on the FCV website (owned now by WA Spirit ).

Girls 2005-2007 ID sessions will be on Jan. 18, Jan. 25, Feb. 2 and Feb. 10 at Evergreen Sportsplex.

Girls 2003-2004 ID sessions will be on Jan. 25, Feb. 2 and Feb. 10 at Evergreen Sportsplex.

Girls 2001-2002 ID sessions will be on Feb. 2 and Feb. 10 at Evergreen Sportsplex.

TooDrawerSoccer, Princeton and the rest of the soccer community recognizes her as a McLean player.

The only reason for a club to do this is to mislead parents in the chase for your money.

Don't disagree but there is also nothing wrong with a shout out to the kid as long as it is actually mentioned as such. But if the kid played 3 years at FCV and just one at McLean, c'mon, what did McLean really do in that year? She was already committed meaning she was deep into the process before she even moved to McLean.

Perhaps she wanted to play high school and still wanted to be on a good club team and while at McLean an opportunity for her dream school came through and she changed her mind on Miami. Exactly what was it that McLean accomplished for a girl who was already committed to a D1 school by the time she moved to their club?

That’s not how they presented it. Just listed her right along with their current players. Even confused the FCV parents. LOL

I am not saying they did present it that way. I am saying if they had there would be nothing wrong with doing so. In fact, if they had, it could do two things for the club, 1. Give them a little boast for a player that they did work with, and 2. Demonstrate that even if you leave the club FCV "still cares" about the kid and their accomplishments.

It would have been nice if they did just say congrats as a shout-out but they didn't do that.
