FVU vs SYC-2 or ASA 2

[Anonymous]

If one was to choose between FVU vs SYC 2nd team or ASA 2nd team at U13.

FVU - ECNL National
SYC/ASA - National Academy League

Any thoughts?

FVU. Avoid Alexandria’s second teams at l cost.

I would go with FVU/ McLean or Arlington 2nd team.

2012 or 2011? Not sure if you mean current U13 or U13 in the fall

It would good to hear the opinion for either age 2011 or 2012.
At 2012 that would be the 1st year of ECNL or MLSN

Because they are treated like second class citizens. They don’t practice with the top team, get the bad coaches, don’t play up- it is the worst I have ever seen. And Alexandria players who are on the top team stay there for eternity so even when others are better- they never lose their top team spot.

This is true for all clubs, unfortunately.

hmmm. I don't know anything specific to this age group, but it isn't totally true of the age groups I'm familiar with. MLSN allows 4 players, or maybe even more, to be designated as "futures" so they can be dual rostered. They play and train with the first and second team, but I think train mostly with the top team. In our age group they regularly play matches with the MLS Next team, but there's a cap on how many. I know at least one kid was permanently rostered with the top team after starting as a "future.". My son's team also regularly scrimmages with the second team on days when practices overlap. Would you expect them to train together always? Shouldn't the club put their best coaches on the highest level teams?

Yes. I'm guessing it's similar at other MLSN teams but don't know.
