Looked like 60-70 girls at 2012 tryouts last night. Has it been like this everywhere with large turnouts? |
What age?? |
There were about 90 boys at the 2015 tryouts last night. I have no idea how a new kid not already on their roster would make enough of an impact to get their attention. |
If there are enough good players, they might create a third team. |
Vienna is a rec club, any serious players will go to a more established program. They advertise a european coaching staff but those guys don't care about the players and are always in and out of different jobs in Europe. |
Perhaps in the past, but with MYS losing ECNL and how notorious they are with neglecting their bottom/white teams, many are looking to leave. |
Same thought about 2014. Tons of kids out there. But some looked really slow and just not very good. There were a lot of coaches out there, so I would think they were able to at least figure out top half and bottom half and who to watch more closely in the next tryout. |
Sounds like your DC was not offered a spot. They never advertised a European coaching staff lol. Throwing manure around... |
Look at the coaching bios and their marketing. Mclean did not lose ECNL, their girls coaches are all still there. |
Are VYS teams 13G ranked as Phoenix then Red then Black? Top to bottom? |
Yes |
Yes. |
How are the coaches for 2013G teams? Red and Black. Parent feedback? Thanks. |
WB is a decent coach, but a bit eccentric. Takes the game seriously and your child will learn from him. Plays a very defensive-oriented scheme (doesn’t like his 2 & 3 attacking), which is different from some other VYS coaches. Pretty strict, but not abusive or a horrible yeller. He falls somewhere in the middle of the coaches we’ve had. ZS is a super nice guy. Seems popular with parents and players. Can’t speak to more than that. |
Lots of confusion on this. I can clarify. For a couple of years, at uLittle, on the girls’ side only, VYS tried an experiment with “fluid teams”, where you could be rostered on different color teams (red, black, white) on different weekends. So one week you play with the top team, another week you play with the second team. It was well intended, uLittle players aren’t consistent, allowed kids to try different positions (top team defender could play striker for second team), etc. They were trying to create more opportunities and take the stigma out of getting “moved down”. My understanding is that it didn’t work, and they have done away with the idea. It was never done on the boys’ side. |
