Serious question. Is it practicing on BRAVE fields is too far? Is it increased roster size? Seems like partnering with BRAVE would make the teams stronger (even if only by a little), so I'm not sure why top players would be leaving.[/quote] Recruiting for top players. Roster size for everyone else[/quote] Understand roster size, how does this affect recruiting for top players in a negative way?[/quote] It doesn't unless BRAVE or BRYC coaches get older teams. Those coaches have no track record or network compared to McLean.[/quote] McLean is getting the older ages. [/quote] Are you on the board of the FXU and can confirm that's true? Whether we stay or go will depend on coaching slate. [/quote] Are you saying your kids are to good to play for BRYC or VYS coaches? How arrogant.[/quote] VYS does not have any ECNL level teams or cosches. Therefore They shouldn’t be assigned to any FXU ECNL teams. This new club needs to post the criteria they are using to assign coaches. It should be clear and metrics based. [/quote] Answer the question. Are you saying that the current Union families are too good to have their kids coached by a VYS coach? Do you feel this way about BRYC as well? The criteria has been posted. All things including coaching coaching decisions need to be approved unanimously. I really hope the VYS and BRYC coaches are reading these forums. Both clubs are a part of this ‘Union’ now and their coaches should be given THEIR 2/3 of the HC coaching slots on both the boys and girls sides. If BRYC and VYS already starts conceding ground on major issues such as this then we are just in for another decade of The McLean Way. And if ECNL has taught us anything recently it’s that The McLean Way is no longer wanted and it does not work.[/quote] The truth is this, if VYS or BRAVE new what they were doing this merger wouldn't be necessary. ECNL boys is generally a league over reach and a disaster across the board so this is about the girls side primarily. McLean has been a founding member of ECNL and has had an excellent track record of success. ECNL over saturated Fairfax in reaction to Girls DA years ago and now league is pruning back. BRAVE/BRYC have not proven themselves at this level and that lack of on field success as well as college placement success does not warrant them a 2/3 vote in an area they have relatively little experience and success. While McLean results have not been what they've been in the past their college placement has not fallen off, because they are known, trusted and respected by colleges. So, no VYS is in over its head and really should put their ego aside and just shut up and listen to McLean. If McLean wants to learn how to win a U16 State Cup or get two kids on ODP then I'm sure they'll be all ears.[/quote] This. This thinking is exactly why McLean failed. This McLean coach can't accept what the McLean Assistant Executive Director himself said -- that ECNL was tracking Union's metrics, and they were no bueno. And that their ECNL-RL membership was also in trouble. A sinking ship needs support. Swallow your pride and take the help that VYS and BRYC are offering. If you're concerned that you'll lose your coaching spot on staff, go talk to the folks at McLean who are making 1/3 of the decisions for the new club. Make your case for why you should be on the coaching slate. Or if not, update your resume. You're wasting your time on this forum.[/quote] Problem with your narrative is that Brave was in the same trouble and place, but Brave isn’t communicating at ALL and McLean is only mentioning that in passing because rightly they’d expect Brave to be transparent with families on this point and it hasn’t been.[/quote] What does it matter at this point? It’s been decided by ECNL, which was communicated. Stop deflecting. VYS and BRYC are ready to move forward. MYS’s internal chaos is holding this up. [/quote] Here is how this plays out. People leave McLean because VYS and BRYC suck. The new Union will struggle and then ECNL will just pull the plug entirely. This will be because of two little community rec clubs getting in over their head and running another club into the ground. Arlington, NVA, VDA all get stronger while VYS and kills a good brand in two shor years they end up playing in NCSL again. [/quote] Conveniently left out the part where ECNL said that McLean sucked too 😂 [/quote] [b]Their college placement was fine and ECNL competition had parity across the girls conferences. BRAVE certainly sucked at all aspects from college placement to competition. [/quote][/b] THIS.[/quote] A little compromise here? How about VYS and BRYC come together to teach McLean the ins and outs of u8-u12 development. McLean’s track record suggests they don’t want this but they certainly needs this. In exchange, McLean teaches those clubs a thing or two about college placement. McLean also shows VYS and BRYC how to recruit kids developed elsewhere and claim as their own. True art. All decisions have to be unanimous. [/quote] Since when has BRYC and VYS been the leader in U9-U12 development lmfao[/quote] To be better than McLean in that department takes only minor effort. We aren’t talking about being the leader here. Paying families just want to see improvements. This partnership allows the other clubs to assist McLean here. [/quote]
