Including the ECNL teams who are stuck at the bottom with no hope of moving up.

Sigh...he's back...I wonder if his friends and family are tired of hearing this too...

Boys W16 L54 D19
Girls W6 L37 D8 (W1 L35 D7 without the oldest age bracket who will be gone next year)

That looks awesome to me because my kid is getting a chance to punch above his weight. I'd love for my kid to get to play against better competition. Likely to quickly improve that way. Oh, I guess you were planning on hanging that U14 trophy up in your basement so that you could get over the miserable failures of your childhood. Yeah, different priorities.

Yes, please give your kid a positive life. It's just too short to spend hours fretting over the W-L record of an opposing team in your kid's soccer league. There are sick kids out there who would love to play even a minute of soccer. We're the lucky ones.

On the contrary, I like my DC to play against better teams. I think you may have misunderstood where I'm coming from. My DC doesn't play for BRYC. They play against them. Three times this year. The problem is that, while that may be useful for BRYC, it's not useful for the teams they play against. And it's fine to be the worst club in the league. But when you're this gloriously bad, it's probably better for everyone, and certainly for everyone else, if you find a different league which is more your speed.

Your pulling standings and statistics is even sadder when it's not even your club. Go watch your kid, enjoy the chance to see them play before they grow up and escape you (even if you're bored), or just drop them off and stay home and spare yourself the torture of having to spend an hour or two at the soccer field.

Feeling a little sore about what I found when I did?

Oh - I just checked goal differences too.

Boys GD -118
Girls GD -107

Nice.

What team is your kid playing on? Maybe we can check his / her individual stats and see how they stack up.

This isn't a stat line for a team. This a for the club. This shows how bad they are collectively. I read into as lack of talent and development. Its. not the kids fault the club formed the team and placed them in a competitive league a good bit to advanced for them to tread water in. Is it the clubs fault for lack of coaching/development or putting lower level players in too high a playing level.? The answer is yes a little bit of both. The club could be very good is they found an honest place where as a whole they belong. NCSL is the perfect fit for them to develop and measure results fairly . Instead of entering teams in the ECNL. with the thought we can strike out with 10 teams in hopes that 1 will hit a home run. So far this philosophy hasn't worked out at all.

Exactly. I'm the guy who everyone thinks is being an ass. And I am (although I was provoked). But this is my point. BRYC does not belong in ECNL. It doesn't help them, and it doesn't help their opponents. This is a classic case of a club that should be playing in ECNL-R, where they would likely fit in just fine - perhaps even be a little stronger than average. I think they'd be too good for NCSL though, just as they are too weak for ECNL.
