Every club highlights their virtues. If your player would be better served in ECNL or DA go and play there but that doesn't mean CYA must provide it just because it would be convenient for your kid. In the end, CYA serves more kids than say FCV and that is CYA's purpose, to provide access to organized sports to as many kids as possible. That is their virtue.

Right, the club highlights its virtues.

I'm not "management" for either club, but have talked so some key folks from both organizations and my observation was that CYA and SYA would remain status quo with the exception of the travel side of soccer, not rec. There would be a separate entity that would be established as XYZ FC that would be fed from both rec programs therefore sharing fields, resources, and most importantly unifying the player pool.

So is it going to happen? Isn't this the deal they had in place last year that fell through?

Sorry, I meant that it was the intent last go around. I don't think/know if it's resurfaced and suspect someone on this forum is just trying to stir things up. In theory it makes perfect sense since they have to compete against the likes of Loudoun who's "soccer' focused operating budget is larger than these clubs with all their sports combined.
