Acceptable alternative SMH. Like the first teams from every other club are jonesing for this player. Please, bruh.
Maybe the SYC coach knew the kid was moving soon.

Maybe, except he didn't. Because the "SYC coach" (also the TD) didn't go to a single one of our games. For being head coach of the age group, sure didn't understand the quality of "his" players.

<crickets>Still waiting on the details of this second-team player's Spanish academy adventure, bruh.</crickets>

Of course you are, coach. You could've paid attention while the player was in your academy, and decided not to. It's good that you've finally got your eye on him.

Bet this academy team is one similar to a boarding school here. You pay $40-$50k to send your kid and tell your friends my kid plays academy in Europe. I’ve seen many kids do this and it provides a good experience for them.

One thing to consider, Europe develops players much differently than the US. A technical player in the US is often overlooked because they aren’t as physically advanced as others. Rather than developing speed of actions, US coaches often dismiss these players as not being good enough. This starts from the top...US Soccer.

Once again, SYC can't put its two oldest girls' age groups into State Cup. Keep selling those lies.

Why not? Not enough players? Missed registration? Not strong enough team?

This must be LB, she has nowhere to go since LMVSC board is close so she has to come here to say nasty things.

Playing devil's advocate for SYC - the 2006 boys group can be used as a positive example. The top 2006 boys team has been roughly top ten in the state for years, won a State Cup several years back, and is now in MLS Next. The second team is pretty clearly the strongest 2006 second team in Fairfax County and one of the best second teams in the state.

The club has apparently retained a significant number of players on both teams for several years so everything can't be that bad. Losing some strong players from a second team if they are not promoted is inevitable. From afar it looks like they must be doing something right.

It's all relative. Given SYC's amibition to be one of the top two or three clubs in the state and attract the best talent, top ten in the state doesn't really cut it. It's also the case that the playing style and player development isn't good enough either. Equally there are many clubs who would and should be very happy with that level of achievement.

I thought the conversation was about how they didn't care about their girls teams.

Well their boys teams aren't great either.

as long as the are sharing girls ECNL with McLean, they won't be one of the top two or three clubs in the state on the girls side for older ages. Even if the younger teams are good, those girls will leave for ECNL or GA teams.
