Full disclosure I don’t have a kid at FCV, but this is impressive. The DA didn’t do this FCV did. Think long and hard about this before leaving.


The DA did do that. Name a player outside of DA who got into a D1 soccer program from FCV? Other than Virginia Tech. How many of those players started with FCV in their U-little programs?

Do you think that this new GAL can attract the same level of (new) talented players to FCV until it's proven?


The DA didn’t coach, train, or promote those individual kids. The club did that. People arguing that the GA is new, FCV is not. That’s what matters. The most important things are training environments, culture, coaching, and lastly competition.

There are kids at D1 schools from the CCL. The badge only partially matters. It’s people like you that are ruining youth sports. It becomes more about the parents and less about the kids.

Given the numbers at the winter ID sessions for DA across all age groups, I would say no.

Well done by FCV marketing and sales. If only that much effort was put towards full club communication.

This is a fact at FCV. And anybody telling you otherwise either gets paid by FCV, is ignorant or unwilling to publicly acknowledge the truth or, and this is highly likely, is just trolling.


Yes, of course a club needs their B, C and D teams but the league that the A team is playing in doesn’t have any effect on the B, C or D team in any pragmatic sense.

Let me ask you this, did FCV tell all the DA parents that the B teams were no longer competing in NPL in favor of EDP? Does that change affect the DA teams or players?


Well, they told us "B/C/D team parents" that they were planning on playing in EDP at some point, changed their minds, then settled for NCSL. And it certainly does affect the PT DA players, and those that trained with them regularly.


How does a NPL league change affect a practice schedule? That is quite a reach.

But did they tell all the DA parents of the change?

McLean and Bethesda both can claim similar lists.

To the best of my knowledge, it hasn't been released yet.


It was on Instagram story last night That's how we found out and we are an FCV family (and NOT ex-DA - in case you didn't guess who the priority is).


Same. Finding out what's happening at our club via social media sends a great message to everyone else. Think someone needs a reminder who pays all the bills here.


Exactly. We will be moving on next season. Had enough with lack of communication, lack of player respect, and lack of follow thru on almost everything. Futsal in particular. The anouncement to the world before the FCV families is really unfortunate. Oh, well.


Sounds like you are currently on a B team then. Actual affect DA teams knew of this.


It take more than just 5 A teams to fund a club. The majority of the FCV teams are B and C teams. A little courtesy and communication would have gone a long way. All the talk of one club, one family is bs. The only family they focus on is the DA/GA. Very sad.

Not really. You’re DD’s team is not affected by the league that the club’s top team is playing in. You are looking for drama where non exists.

Now here is the bright side. Your DD is probably a good player and has likely been held back and kept in place with dreams of making the DA squad being dangled in front of you. So you certainly should be looking for a better spot because of that but not because they didn’t talk to your team about something that doesn’t affect your team.

I have been the ED of a smaller club and trust me nothing would ever get done if I reached out to all the parents before we made any moves or before anything was announced. This is why you have a board and an Executive Director. You put these people in charge. Let them do their job. Do you really think they would do something that they thought would absolutely ruin the club? They act in the best interest in the club. Stop being so sensitive.
