Our family is happy at BRYC, practices are great, coaching is great, player evaluation was great, college exposure this year was amazing. My daughter joined with no idea how the college process works, didn't know how to email coaches, the club educates the players on that and much more.

My response was an honest reflection of this year at BRYC? Sorry if it does not fit you're negative narrative....

If you are one of the favorites then life is great. If not, staff will push one of their favorites on a college coach even when college coach isn’t asking about that player. Parent managers are in too tight with coaches and are too influential IMO. College exposure comes from the league and showcases. Even bad ECNL/DA teams get great college exposure. That’s the point.

Most likely because you have the pissy parents come on here when their kid does not get playing time or has been cut. If you want to experience BRYC go to training, have you're daughter ask the players if they like the coach, Speak to other parents at the field. Don't rely on an anonymous forum for facts, this is where people come to talk shit. My daughter has played at BRYC for almost 2 full years now, She loves going to practice and is thriving in the environment.

9:44am BRYC poster here - nope, no nerves were struck. Just responding to the OP's original request to rate my club administratively.

But to respond to your snark - because this is an open forum and I can - I know some people take issue with the BRYC coach referenced above. I respect that and understand why; he's not everyone's cup of tea and his behavior as a coach hasn't always been admirable. But I also know there are likely an equal number of parents and players who find him to be a good coach who pushes the kids to improve, and is results-oriented. I don't think anyone could look at the BRYC U16s (03s) and not say he's had something to do with their success. Yes, there's some good raw talent there (some of which was developed elsewhere, as is the case on pretty much ANY DA or ECNL team), but he's had a hand in their development in my opinion.

If you look at the better-known travel coaches and TDs in the area clubs, everyone one of them has strengths and weaknesses, fans and critics. They're people, after all. Not sure you'll find anyone who is universally loved. They're in a position to make tough decisions that impact people's kids. Sooner or later, they're going to piss someone off.

My daughter plays on the 02 ECNL team, the difference in the team in the 20 months we have been at BRYC is amazing.

This is the probably the most accurate evaluation I've seen of this coach.
I think while most parents would agree that he is good at developing, improving, and pushing kids to get better(when he is interested in doing so), several would stop the compliments at the touch line.
I'd say most parents know what they've getting in him and are willing to accept everything that comes along with it because they're happy with the training and development.

Sounds typical of an ECNL coach, they will play the best players most of the time, McLean and BrYC are the strongest 2 teams in the Mid Atlantic conference from 15-19. Part of this is because both clubs play to win games when u15 comes around...

No, the reason was they had established teams set in place before DA and ECNL expansion.

Isn't that what most people would expect from a high level program? And it's consistent with what kids would see in college if they chose to play there. Performance drives playing time. With the exception of showcases, coaches play games to win once you hit high school ages.
