Ignore the clown. His kid will wash out by U12 and get replaced. Way this works.

Across the 100 MLS Next teams:
U13: SYC #32; Alexandria #39
U14: SYC #75; Alexandria #20

Looks like the power structure of development for youth soccer is DC United, Arlington, Alexandria

My kid is at one of the listed clubs but I assure you, SYC, VDA, Loudoun and others will be in the mix in VA.

SYC generated buzz when they had a big influx of players come from LMVSC. Since then, every year they've had players leave the top team. The 2003 boys are their best (and oldest) team; not many players left. One or two from the 2004 team left, then a few from their 2005s and 2006s et cetera. Their numbers will slowly dwindle; and this is why they decided to partner with Manassas and McLean. They're not in the interest of investing in developing players, they're in the interest of recruiting players for wins. Wins equal 'success' and league status. This is their business model.

Arlington, Alexandria, and yes I agree with you VDA are the best at investing and development for even after they go to college. Many of these SYC players can play one brand of football; that's not the most ideal situation for $2500 a year for club fees (before you throw in team fees).

Agree, at LMVSC they used to take pride on bringing scholarship kids in and now SYC is having to deal with more than they can keep up. It's a business.

How many players that have been identified as the best in their age group are being sponsored 100% despite not qualifying for any financial aid at all?

I know of at least three. And yes, there are zero girls.

Oh, they do "qualify". Mom and dad file separate taxes.

I know at least three too. Low income girls don't play soccer, fact.

The "clown" made a valid point. The quality of life in Ohio is much better than what DMV can offer. Not having to deal with traffic jams and having a reasonable commute is worth it. The people are also friendlier and don't call each other clowns or say that someone else's kid will wash out. That's DMV for you.
