But they have a bar and post about consuming alcohol despite being a youth club? Imagine what use you could give to the 20 million plus Jim has burned already.

First, the club does not post about consuming alcohol others on this thread post about it. The club advertising it for the Pro Games NOT the youth games.

Second, like you said it has been a club since 2019 and when it started it started with younger teams so only in the past 2 years have any of those players reached the age of college. The players graduating before this from the club came in at an older age and were pretty much developed at other clubs. VRSC has hired a college a new employee whose role is primary to guide players through the college pathway.

You also have to put some responsibility on the players to be willing to pursue their college path and attend ID camps and work to make connections to colleges they would like to attend.

Also VRSC isn't an outlier. Head to a major European youth academy and you'll find a bar and restaurant on site, RSC Anderlect, Ajax, La Fabrica building. Weird teetotalers in Loudoun.

Produce talent? You have a misguided view of what clubs do. Clubs assemble talent. They do that by attracting players to come to their club instead of other clubs. How? By gaining membership in national leagues. No high school age player will stay with your club if there is no national platform. VRSC only just got this for girls, not yet for boys. So we’ll have to check back in 3-4 years.

The idea that clubs produce talent and not that talent chooses clubs is crazy. Take any of the so called talented players at clubs now, move them to another club in the same level, and they will still be just as talented. Just with a different club claiming to have produced them.

Wow!! Hate much?!!
LOL.This thinking is so fking backwards there is no help for you. Spoken like someone who owns a club and doesn’t know sh** about soccer.
