No one....and I mean no one...does an academy atyle pool in ECNL. Thats a recipe for disaster.....and look what you got. |
Haven’t they been doing the academy style pool for years with success? |
They've been in ecnl for a few years. And no, they haven't been doing it with success. Its unbelievable to suggest that BRYC is deep enough with talent that they have 30 kids per age group that can compete at ECNL level. When the 03s graduate, BRYC girls may be the worst performing club in ECNL....and then its over So I ask again...who put these policies in place? Who made these decisions. |
Was it the GM of Washington Spirit or the ECNL Director at VDA? |
It’s just a money grab and nothing more. |
LB told us that pool training would happen until u15. It is now u15. The roster does not rotate as much as before. The pool training sounds like a great idea but it has hurt our team |
Thats exactly what it is. There are zero clubs in the DC area that can be successful in ECNL and run a rotating pool. There is not enough talent anywhere to do that. |
Both actually. The Spirit GM was phoning it in for a long time before his leaving, and trying to ride the coattails of the final older teams coached by the previous generation of coaches (which was very experienced and very good). Those coaches never got replaced appropriately, and you had young coaches assuming responsibility without mentoring. Then the Boy King comes in with no oversight and limited discipline with the sole goal of trying to please Daddy by winning a national championship. His teams while successfully were never grown organically and relied on external talent as their means for improvement. It was successfully, but his immaturity kept getting in the way. |
Money grab, poor coaching, no pipeline, can’t attract talent, can’t retain coaches, all the teams with losing records, poor leadership....
Bryc can’t get anything right and Ecnl won’t keep them around for much longer. |
Bryc should just close down. The top clubs in the area: - FCV - Metro - Great Falls Middle of the road: - Arlington - Loudoun - VDA Bottom tier: - Mclean - Bryc |
This is hilarious |
BN is the only decent coach in the entire BRYC program. The boys u9-u12 is an aimless train wreck. The boys ECNL is nothing more than over priced mid level NCSL talent. The girls ECNL is no longer competitive . The u9-u12 girls don't have the talent as in years past. Even bringing over some of the rec side odsl teams to blend in hasn't bolstered the talent pool at all. |
He is a decent coach but a horrible person. If you are okay with that trade-off- then I guess BRYC is for you. |
This is great. Funniest thing I’ve read in a while. |
Genuinely curious...what are you basing this assessment on? Have you watched all of the U9-12 teams play, including the Academy and Black teams? |
