Overall satisfaction: Are most parents happy and staying or leaving and going? Coaching experience - small sided games, 1v1, 2v1 3v3, lots of touches and minutes on the field? Over excessive use of rondos? How is the technical drills: first touch, off the ball movement, dribbling and passing?

Are practices disciplined and challenging or too relaxed and easy? Is the coach assertive, demands respect from the boys, but also fair and balanced.

Also can anyone tell me what the difference between Bryc ECRL vs Elite?

Just trying to get an overall sense of the atmosphere.

A lot of the boys from the BRYC pre-ECNL team will be on FVU next year. So the U13 team may look pretty different.

It seems both the U12 Pre-ECNL team placed (6th out of 22 teams) in VPSL and the U13 ECRL boys team (8th out of 19 teams) are performing well overall, with both teams posting more wins than losses and staying close to competitive with the higher ranked teams I’m only seeing losses with 1-2 goal ratios and a few divided. Assuming around 50% of the roster ages up while the remaining core stays intact, the overall level of performance should likely remain fairly consistent moving forward with U13. Do I have that fairly close?

Not sure what you mean about 50% of the roster aging up. I would not expect 50% roster turnover due to the age group change -- maybe 25%. The current U13 roster is probably more stable because few players move up from RL to ECNL. The U12 is where there will be more change due to the best players leaving for ECNL + the age group change. I don't know if you can predict performance very well because that assumes all players are roughly the same. It's possible that the best 5 players, for example (especially in 9v9), were the key to the team's success, and losing them will make a big difference. I do not have any specific knowledge here; just giving a hypothetical.

I hear you. I would love to hear any parent input on the trajectory of the U12 Pre-ENCL and U13 ECRL stability.
