Like they would work on field position, only a small subset would seem to get it, then they’d move on to something else and not necessarily expect or reinforce what was just learned. I think if your child is particularly mature , able to listen, and driven then it is worthwhile — just to get so many extra touches at that age. There were a handful of kids who really improved. Mine would have better off sticking with Rec.

This is helpful. PP. Thanks. Curious what you are doing this year if you care to share, as I recall at tryouts we were told that all kids in juniors would be offered a spot on 1 of the mclean travel teams. We opted out of Juniors last year for our 1st, and based on the above, it does not sound like it would be a good fit for 2nd either next year.

MYS is 100% pay to play. They switched. If u do Juniors, you are guaranteed to get to pay the next year for travel. They take everyone and it actually hurts our club.

Louise is entrenched and loves the salary. Parents don't care how the club is run. The BOD is weak and wimpy. It has become a back up club.

What a shitshow now.

Can't be true

I think that the last two years they have taken absolutely everyone in the young ages. They obviously don't take everyone for ECNL --and kids come from all over to try out --but it seems that for the younger teams they don't have the numbers. I expect that, to some degree, that this is true in most clubs except a place like Arlington where the pool is enormous.

The rising ECNL team is coached by Haytham … he'll last about 1-2 years more before he gets the hook . . .


Go to BRYC if you want to get away from those girls coaches. Mclean is a turd swirling

I do Know that we have recently hired coach KP away from BRYC. He will coach U9-U10 boys. He was thought of in the Nova area as the best coach there, but since he wasnt family was underpaid and under appreciated over at BRYC. So I think the U-littles are gonna be in good shape.

BRYC is on a downward trajectory. Aside from a couple of oldest age groups, their teams are weak and getting weaker. The writing is on the wall.

MYS hasn't fielded a quality team out of their 9U - 12U zone in 3 years - B.R. is no MYS!

You are clearly just a troll. Go back to your hole

My daughter was part of the Juniors program with Coerver in 2020/2021 and the experience was great. Very structured, focused on technical skills and year of quality development. Would 100% do this with my younger children and recommend the program to others.

We had the opposite experience the year prior. Our daughter hated it and it really put her behind rather than develop her skills. So I guess it depends on the kid?

FCV is the best team in the area. Best coaching, promotion and college placement. Plenty of starting spots open at the younger ages.

False, U9-U11 is strong/solid at Academy and Bridge levels.
