5. VRSC (Club is still unproven and political but still a better option than NVA at this age)
On par with the worst? What does that even mean?
Putting VDA 2010 over union 2010 is pretty funny. Please let us know what you are smoking?
Good to know there are no politics at VDA. But explain again why both of the new director’s teams are getting worse as the season has went on.
Both these teams are very strong and the integration between Union & Brave and VDA & FCV seems to have benefited both teams in this age group.
But politics exists everywhere - VDA is not an exception.

Can you explain what you mean by politics when you mention Union and NVA?
Are there no politics with VDA? Are you not concerned that VDA have got worse over the year?
What are the politics at VDA?
There are none because the new ECNL Director doesn't play around.
There is zero concern with VDA getting worse over the last year, they're the only ECNL club (as a whole across all their teams) that got better from last year to this year, which was largely due to them winning the FCV lottery. FCV was the top GA club in the area, it imploded and 95% of the players, not on the 06/07 team, left. A good chunk went to VRSC and a some/most of the top tier players went to VDA.
The concern should be the only way VDA can get better is by recruiting players. If I’m a young player at VDA (2011 or 2012) or vsa or pwsi, I would be concerned that the best players for every age group have barely played for VDA.
For the 2012 age group, I'd say the same thing for Arlington. Just saying.

This isn’t a concern. VDA teams have really strong players from PWSI/VSA and other clubs. The same can be said for all NOVA ECNL teams. I’m familiar with the teams as DD plays for one. Her team has added players from other clubs every year (like every ECNL team) but there’s still a large group of players originally selected at U13.
I think the real concern is what did VDA do to you?
I agree with you that this is not a concern as all the clubs need to improve their roster.
I think the VDA concern should be have they ever had a player perform well in college?

Before we move on to how overrated VDA is, can someone please explain the politics question. All these clubs have politics except VDA. Maybe they need some politics to have a winning record against Arlington or that train wreck Union. Thanks!

VDA 09 added 2 players from FCV.

On this board, we DO NOT say bad things about VDA and VDA’s performance is either steadily improving or improving by leaps and bounds!
