| Interesting scores. Thoughts? This board is very pro Alexandria but results show two clubs which are eye level with each other. |
Both are just travel teams in different geographic areas, not sure there is anything interesting at all. |
| The 2 teams may be eye level at the younger age groups, but as they enter the High School and Recruiting ages, Alexandria fields much stronger teams. |

| SYC likes to play freestyle individual street soccer at the older ages |
At every age not just older! |
What does this mean |
That means they are not technical. |
Wrong, most freestyle individual street soccer players are very technical. What SYC seem to lack from this style is in coaching the tactical aspect of the game. |
Sorry, I've seen SYC playing and practicing. They do not play street soccer. And maybe they do a bit of "freestyle", if you count the lack of technicality on the team. |
Maybe for SYC but my comment is still true for most individual street soccer players where they tend to be technical. Well if isn't freestyle street soccer what is it that they play because everyone knows they don't work on anything tactical in practice. |
Being technical is great, have to have tactical understanding, physical tools to play the game at a high level and a level head |

More baseless claims to fame from SYC. Is that you again EM, or just one of your coaches? What you say is only true if you are looking through your SYC rose colored glasses. If you look at the same website for two other clubs within a stone's throw from your favorite club, you would see the truth. Arlington (ECNL): U10 - #20 U11 - #3 U12 - #10 U13 - #6 U14 - #11 U15 - #1 U16 - #2 U17 - #2 U18 - #6 U19 - #9 Alexandria (MLS NEXT): U10 - #2 U11 - #5 U12 - #12 U13 - #3 U14 - #1 U15 - #3 U16 - #4 U17 - #7 U18 - #15 U19 - #3 Barely had to leave the same zip code. I guess you must be SO impressed with all 3 clubs then, right? Very convenient you only posted one club in your "unbiased" comment, huh? |
LOL. Dude. SYC selects the biggest and strongest-looking kids, regardless of technical ability. Then, it's kickball. Anyone with the ball within 30 yards of the net...go ahead and take the shot! |
