Back to the thread’s purpose. FCV should not be back in the ECNL as they are a one trick (girls elite U15 and over) pony and slowly fading into a mediocre club as those left over DA elite girls age out. In three years they will be equivalent to ODFC and VAR.
Did your kid not make fcv or get beat bad by them? You clearly have axe to grind but nothing substantial to offer except hoping to see the demise of a club that threatens you. Very sad.
Nope, kid played high level at FCV but we didn’t like the club, got offered a DA slot, but we moved on. Seen the inner workings of the club. Very myopic human beings running that club. They dishonestly focus on one gender and just the elite. Becoming very boutique at the expense of all the other sucker parents. Being boutique is ok, but just be honest about it. You can see the future there and it is not bright outside of the GA girls teams. The arrogance of many posters on this forum irk me, so it gives me pleasure to point this out. Then again, the posters here are likely a parent of an elite kid, so they figured they have it made and screw all the other suckers. I saw teams of kids that were rec level (at best) be put on an FCV travel team, pay their fees, and end up getting coached by a parent instead of the pro coach, and have their playing time usurped by the A team guest players almost every game. Classic bait and switch. Instead, just have the GA girls teams and disband all other teams and let those kids play for clubs where the coaches care about them and their development and enjoyment of the game, vs. promising one thing and delivering another. It’s kind of sickening what they do over there if you’re not part of the elite team, and my kid was part of the elite. Ethics made us move her to another club.
Not sure the future is so bright for their GA teams either.[/
Honestly, that is at ever club. I am not sure why people don't get this main fact. Soon enough if you are lucky your child will be offered a D1 scholarship but many wont even make it until then. Youth soccer is just to build your resume, it mans almost nothing and all these issues will be a distant memory in years to come, you might even et embarrassed with how you acted as a PP. Some words of advice, Enjoying everything and stay away from the negative even when your team sucks. Always be your Childs best advocate and understand Coaches owe you nothing, the club owes you nothing, the team owes you nothing. Why? because you are using them just as much as they are using you. It is a business. If you don't like how the business is being ran go elsewhere. Build your Childs resume by advocating for them. Hopefully they will have fun and build a great character that will hopefully afford them many successes in the future. If nothing else, it will keep them out of trouble. Simply put, just relax its youth soccer.
So sound stupid. Honestly. This is pay to play. You are paying for a service. They do owe you and every paying customer a professional product. So get off your soap box on a soccer forum

Is ASA Arlington or Alexandria?
VAR can apparently be multiple clubs too.
Maybe Virginia Revolution should go with VR? Virginia Rush is more established.

Odfc?? Really.
What's ODFC and VAR?
Not the PP but:
Old Dominion Football Club
Virginia (Va) Rush (As opposed to MD Rush), yes they do call themselves VAR
(SOCA is now called Skyline in case anyone was wondering about that one)

Sounds like a Loudoun Staffer producing crappy teams in ECNL and wanting to preserve the wallet’s health.

I just looked at this thread expecting a FCV discussion instead people are talking about a boys MLS league? What happened to FCV? Did they switch to coaching boys?
