Insanity pure insanity
The ships is sinking its time to jump
Thoughts and prayers to those who stay.

You really have to specify whether you're talking boys or girls. They're two completely separate programs and perspective on one is completely useless for the other.

Boys - pre to early teen.

You should look at Burke AC for that age boys. BRYC is really a mess They will tell you anything to get your money. If you look at standings of the boys in that age range you'll see there is nothing Elite about them.

For what it's worth, my son is 08 ECNL and we are happy with his team and coach. I feel his team has a lot of talent on it, just missing a few pieces. He loves both his team and coach and has been developing a lot as a player, so we plan on staying put next year.

We feel this way on the girls side too. Much happier here than our old club nearby.

We are in that age group at BRYC. It's fine, my son has grown as a player, they do need a few new kids to bring it together. Coaching is fine, they are competetive in their division. Nice kids, parents and location. Price is cheaper than Mclean and SYC at ECNL level. I read these posts and feel like I'm at a different club. I think there are maybe three bashers that Post over and over, and based on their outdated information aren't even there. Is it perfect? No. Depends on your goals, for us, now, it fits the bill.

Our son is a new add to next year's ECNL roster and has every intention of making sure BRYC starts winning more. You can complain or you can do something about it. What are the parents doing to better prepare their kids to win? Coaching is one factor in success - just one. Players and support group also play a role.

The problem is the coaches select the wrong kids and are afraid to admit their mistakes. The teams at BRYC are full of kids who shouldn't be there.

I thought the last sentence said “prayers and support group also play a role” #thoughtsandprayers

Good luck to your son and team, hope has a great season !

Serious question--do you think they are turning good boys players away? I thought it was more an issue of not attracting enough strong boys players trying out from other clubs or from the bridge teams etc. Are they in position to cut lots of players? I haven't gotten that impression from other posters. DP, is our DS a current player? Would you be okay with your DS getting cut?

My guess is for U12 and below things will ramp up from a talent and competitive standpoint for future academy teams now that the fee structure is super competitive and the only pathway to travel now is really through the academy since there is no longer ODSL to siphon off top young talent.

I imagine that it will bring new kids to the fold but I know a handful of families in that age range that are leaving this year, or had already left from the year prior. BRYC has a retention problem, as well. It sucks. We'd like to stay because it is our closest club but we've accepted offer elsewhere for oldest child to be more competitive and benefit from better coaching. Other child on Bridge will remain as he's happy there and no reason to rock that boat.

Did you already receive an ECNL offer? When did they go out and for which age group?

They are in no position to cut any players. The main issue is the same players that were separated into Elite and Blue at U9 are still separated going into ECNL. To believe they were able to pick the correct propsects at u9 for the top teams at u15 is crazy. It just shows there is absolutely no development what so ever going on there. Sure kids get better as they get older but with little to no help from the coaches at BRYC. You cant fix the problem if you dont recognize the problem.

The problem is not the same boys and girls played from U9 to U15 still in the 1st team or the 2nd team.
The problem is no good players joined the top teams, either from the 2nd team, 3rd team, or from other clubs.
I always feel there is one 2nd team parent who complains his kid could not be promoted to the first team.. wonder why. let's blame the coach or the club.

I blame the former ECNL director who mortgaged the future of the club for the success of his 2003 team.
