Breakout those checkbooks, leverage those outside of the club relationships, and start moving on securing your kid's spot on the roster. Time to throw ethics out the door and do what's needed to secure that spot.

It's funny how we only see this through the eyes of MYS, but this whole merger thing will be a flop. SYC parents don't want to travel to McLean for practices nor will they want to have to an extra $1000 dollars to have them play ECNL. Like I said it will be a big flop and go no where.

haha. $1000 more dollars. In your dreams. ECNL fees in a normal year can easily be 6-10k total by the time you add it all up.

2500 club fee
800 team fee (coach travel, tournament fees, refs, incidentals)
150 uniforms and gear
3-5k travel depending on how many showcases and if national playoffs

$6300 on gas
$4700 on food
$13,568 on EZ Pass

Formally - no. I don't think they can until May 1st. Our coach told his team that there would be no SYC players added. We have an older team.

Then don’t play ECNL. Stay wherever you are and do whatever you want.

The whining is virtue signaling is non-stop.

Not that I'm aware of, but I know the coaching staff are meeting with existing ECNL players letting them know whether they're likely to be on the team or not.

Half of my DS's ECNL team is mostly being cut. What sucks for the boys getting cut is that there are boys on the team that are only there cause the parent and coach know each other from outside the club and it seems this parent has some kind of control over the coach. Kid has probably B team skills at most. This parent has also introduced other players to the coach over this last year which the coach has them working out with team and will eventually bring them on. Don't know what the rules are around that but shady for sure. Good thing these clubs don't get audited for their business practices. It's unfortunate but players or families don't have a say in it. The coach basically controls everything and if you're out of line as a parent the repercussions are taken out on the player.

if the kid is that good, they can try out for another ECNL team. If you think half a team is getting cut to appease parents of B level players and their friends, you probably also believe every game DS lost was due to biased refs

Lol okay. 06 ECNL lost to 06 SYC, and large portions of the 04s would definitely be players be on ECNL team. So you must be 05s; and two new McLean ECNL players just this year came from SYC.

remember people, SYC also absorbed just about ALL of Lee Mt. Vernon (LMVSC)'s talent a year ago. So your kids are basically competing against the top players from SYC and LMVSC combined.

Good luck.

I know for a fact boys will be cut to bring on these players that were introduced by coach's friend. Clear as day but club can get away with whatever they want. Personally, I don't care my DS was told he will most likely be on the team but we're also looking at other options since we don't live in Mclean and probably time to look at VDA or other clubs in that area. I think what's being done is unfortunate since the team was getting better.

What do you actually suspect is happening? You think he’s getting paid?? From the outside, these stories sound hard to believe

So they’re improving - but will the team be better or worse when that happens? You mention it’s unfortunate for the boys being cut but are they better players than the ones coming in? Are you upset that they’re making the team worse or that this one kid you describe as B level will still be there and should be among the cuts?

Quite upset the kid is only there cause of the parent knowing the coach. The boy was never on the best team at the many previous club's he was on and now he's on the highest level team not because of his ability but because of this connection. It sucks for the kids and McLean for players who have the skills, but being removed because of the relationship.
