No one cares about SYC other than u-littles parents. They are a non-factor at older ages.

They just got GA 2 1/2 years ago and prior to that, talented players left. But the talented players are now staying and they are attracting kids from multiple surrounding clubs. The stats support much higher levels of teams at SYC for the 2012 and younger age groups.

The 2012 team is already showing signs of breaking apart. The other ages will follow the same path as the best players will eventually leave.

Over reliance on athleticism and physicality in u little age groups focused too much on winning and rankings combined SYC instagram hype culture is not a recipe for success.

Tell me a club in this area that develops players better than SYC in recent years. When you compare boys’ and girls’ pathways, very few clubs come close—maybe Bethesda is the closest. Losing one player from the 2012 GA team doesn’t mean the team is falling apart, they actually added good talent so let’s keep the conversation grounded in facts.

The facts are the boys have nothing to do with the girls. The 2012 team is losing one player away from being a run of the mill GA team. They already cannot compete with the ECNL teams and have gotten worked by the better teams at GA events. Thems the facts but keep holding on.

SYC is the only club that’s actually held ID sessions so far?

Correct—let’s go back to 2014. I believe McLean held their ID process during one of their practices, or they were already hosting many of those girls in some capacity, though I’m not sure exactly how.

Thanks, Coach Bobby. Honestly, no one on this forum is interested in your recruiting updates. The 2012 GA team has depth and has already brought in new players for next year. Let’s keep the discussion on track.

Like the SYC 2010s? One player from that team is considered a top talent in the DMV (no longer at Union or syc). The rest of that team doesn’t play anymore or are role players spread around the DMV. They did win lots of u-little games though!

She’s actually the Mid-Atlantic Player of the Year. The ECNL level in the Mid-Atlantic wasn’t strong enough, so she switched to the North conference. SYC didn’t offer National League back then, or she would’ve stayed. Thanks for keeping up.

The team went to Union and fizzled out. She’s the only top player from the group. That’s the point. Try and keep up. No development happened there.

Development isn’t teaching tall 9 year olds how to do pullbacks.

Brought in new players? Were they free agents not playing in teams or were they recruited?

See how that works?

Everyone knows about the SYC u-little recruiting. Now SYC is trying to compete outside the Instagram age groups.

How about when SYC brought in an entire 2011 team? Not a few players. A whole team.

Got it, Bobby—you’re the master of the older age groups and a world‑class recruiter. Impressive. Now let’s bring the conversation back to the 2014s and keep the ranting elsewhere.

This is a good point. What was up with the 2011s at SYC prior to that team coming?

The whole team went to VA Union 2011s through the SYC/McLean partnership, and several SYC 2011s ended up at Arlington 2011s—including their top striker who scores pretty much all their goals. And yes, this was all before they had any national platform. Things look a bit different now with GA. But hey, thanks for the curiosity.

But didn't they have a national platform through the SYC/McLean partnership? Was it not Union? Or am I thinking of something else

The McLean team was the better 2011 team but syc’s whole team made Union? Give me a break.

Striker you’re referring to was Fairfax BRAVE.

So syc’s 2011 age group was down because players were recruited to Union? Isn’t that what syc does in u8,u9,u10,u11,u12?

Then the teams they take players from are weakened. See how this works?

Pot, I’d like to introduce you to kettle.
