Their parents will be happy until is stops working around U11 when kids start to become actual defenders and team tactics become more evolved. Not sure the SYC coach will make it to U11 without a few heart attacks. How are these meatheads allowed anywhere near kids?

At some point little Johnny will get close lined or tackled from behind in a 10-0 blowout by a frustrated defender. That may make the parents reconsider

A lot of it stems from the fact that they played 7v7 as U8s before COVID hit. They are very good but just a lot further along in patterns of play. It'll take a couple years but other clubs will catch up and beat them.

Both squads do have some really good players however. Very sound and technical.

Folks need to brush this off. Huge blowouts happen at this age. It's not what you should be focused on but on your child's individual development. And yes, my DS team has lost to both clubs badly.

My DS is on the same boat with losing badly to both of them early in the season as well. His teammates were impressed by how good they were but their esteem wasn't hurt by the blowout. I can tell you that they were excited to play and have been working hard to improve. Having a good coach matters. My DS and team have improved and would probably still lose to them. It's U9, I'm not worried. My DS is improving and that's all that matters.

Interesting that SYC 2012 is playing on age in the upcoming Arlington tournament but Bethesda 2012 is playing up (and in the top group): https://events.gotsport.com/events/default.aspx?eventid=80113

When will these two u-little juggernauts meet to decide 2012 supremacy once and for all?

They'll play each other in the spring - league game (CCL).

Notice how the players react? Not crying? Trying hard? Having fun?

Y’all should just acknowledge it’s a different approach.

Funny how wrong everyone is because the best U12 in Virginia for boys is SYA

For Maryland its BAC

I bet he went ballistic on them for giving up the solitary goal.

I take it there isn’t a 10 goal lead game ends rule in soccer? That is the case for local hockey.

And I hope the defenders team slips him a crisp $50 bill after the game for teaching them a lesson.

Not a competition. Bethesda usually wins even playing up a year top flight.

“7 and 8 year olds”
“Young men”

Still a good cause but golly gosh - a bit farfetched no?

We got beat 11-1 by a certain NOVA team in U9. We beat them 5-1 recently in U13. First time we've played them since. I thought it would be like this great redemption, but it really wasn't. We have some different players. I'm sure they have some different players. Things change.

Why do they have a go fund me? Doesn't SYC provide financial aid scholarships like all the other community clubs?
