People avoided FCVs tryouts like they saw the health inspector at Chipotle.

I wonder if being in CCL, which does not post game scores and has some weak teams, helped Loudoun to market itself as elite, while hiding the program's deficiencies? They are certainly getting exposed now after moving to ECNL.

So you are saying that FCV is in trouble because they lost to GFR last year? With that logic Loudoun is in trouble because they lost to McLean this year. And oh by the way, FCV went on to win the state cup championship for the VPL, where was GFR?

You clearly do not understand the wheels that are in motion. GFR is a pipeline team for WS. Their players practice 1x per week with WS DA coaches. That is new this year. The current 06 and older WS teams were not build from GFR as a foundation but the 07s will be. And that WS 07 foundation is stronger than the FCV 07 base.

I assume the VPL state cup comment is a joke. McLean and Loudoun did not play in that one - it's just another mid level tournament below Jeff Cup, WAGS and others that have the best teams from OH, GA, PA, VA coming. Those are the tournaments that FCV runs ways from.

But congratulations ahead of time for the weekend. FCV will go undefeated. You can't lose if you don't play. Impressive.

No, I completely understand the wheels that are in motion. So you are saying that the GFR 07 team is a stronger foundation for WS 07 for next year because they practice once a week with WS DA coaches? Unless I am mistaken FCV is a DA club, their 07s are already entrenched in the DA process, and they are coached once a week by FCV DA coaches.
The VPL state cup comment was simply to point out that even though FCV 07 lost to GFR in a regular season game which had little to no significance, they went on to play in the finals and GFR did not (yes I know that VPL state cup does not have much significance either, but if were using a regular season loss to make it appear that GFR is better, I was just pointing out that they did not make it)

Wait - I thought that FCV believes that tournaments do not matter. Now regular season does not matter either? I get it now. Nothing matters. So how will FCV attract good players again?

It matters because kids who are six years older than the 07s are good so that means the 07s are exactly the same. Duh.

FCV has strong track record as a club in all age groups that play in DA.

U15 DA Atlantic Div. - 1st place +19 goal difference
U16/17 DA Atlantic Div. - 1st place +10 goal difference
U18/19 DA Atlantic Div. - 1st place +19 goal difference

Loudoun does not have a single team in top 5 in their ECNL division. Duh.

Do you fail to understand the landscape or are you just a parrot?

04-01 FCV teams were formed when ECNL was the clear cut top league. Loudoun had lost players in those age groups a loooong time ago and ECNL did not bring those players back from FCV or McLean.

The 05 and 06 team were quickly formed due to the short lived Loudoun/FCV merger. Those kids had an understanding if not offers well before Loudoun was awarded ECNL.

ECNL was announced during the FCV ID process. Before the announcement, Loudoun kids were at FCV in droves. After the announcement nobody went, zero, nothing zip.

The 07 tryouts were a joke. A few people came out of curiosity but left shaking their heads like walking out of a empty restaurant at peak dinner rush. FCV can't fill their younger age groups and frankly with so many options most people are staying at their clubs. Whether you want to admit it or not, parents realize that they no longer need FCV or McLean anymore.
