that provides no info on that program that was misadvertently brought up by BRYC staff for kudos in an ECNL thread, but now don’t want to comment on. Let’s call it pre-ECNL and find out why the deflection. |
What are you talking about? We're just a bunch of parents, doing our best. |
| thanks, “BRYC parent” can you tell us what happened with that age group. I hear a lot of good things, but the large results difference between the 2 academy teams is striking. Is this abnormal for the BRYC academy or an academy style club? |
The U13 age group? I have no idea, since that's not my kid's team. I just don't have much appreciation for comments like "thanks coach" and "thanks staff". I don't believe for a minute club staff roam around on this silly forum. It's just a place for parents to communicate and share information. |
The roster is small for the u10 group so half the kids do well and the other team suffers. it is the same for the u11 and u12. |
| BRYC is only academy by name only. the teams are set and players are not moved unless for punishment for late or missed training. and promoted only to fill in for injured or sick player. the Club leaders chase wins this way. A true academy will train the entire player pool together and at the end of the week or 2 week time frame name the teams for the upcoming games. and this happen through out the entire year. this develops all players at the same pace and provides for an overall strong program. Instead they chase wins and cater to parents who threaten to leave if not on the A team. it really is a disservice to the kids. but not surprised, as the real goal is to keep the parents paying the money. |
This doesnt sound like you are taking about the younger girls side. It does not even remotely begin to explain the vastly different results of the discovery tournament that was last weekend. The catering to parents who threaten to leave if not on the A team suggests that stronger players were on the B team because of politics and the A team should have suffered more and the B should have done better. |
How small does a roster have to be to be called small? 7v7 or 9v9 doesnt require a lot of players to be rostered. |
I am not a u10 parent but I think it is 15 or 16 for two teams. They played up some U9s |
That sounds right and there were U9s playing on the one team. |
Pretty sure you are not talking about the girls program. |
this sounds exactly like the girls program. |
Did those u10s get put in a very inappropriate bracket then? From the results, it seems like a very different experience for the two u10 teams. Was that intentional? |
You can't call yourself an Academy when you have only one team at most age groups....by choice and design. |
Nope I should clarify I am am talking about the boys side. the girls younger group is run great. the coach is fantastic developing them. Ive seen the girls coach at various tournaments over the past years and he does a great job connecting with the girls and knows the game. |
