BRYC ECNL Boys Coaches Slate?

| When is the ECNL coaches slate typically announced for BRYC boys? Is it prior to offers going out? It seems like every other ECNL club has announced theirs, and with all of the potential movement between clubs, one would want to know who is coaching prior to deciding to go to an id session. |

| Communication by the club leaves a lot to be desired. No info yet on when offers for ECNL are going out, coaches slate, etc. |

Are you kidding? The slate doesn't change here. The same 4 coaches we've always had. It's the definition of insanity . Doing the same wrong things season after season and expecting different results. The boys side has been bad for years top to bottom and noe the girls are starting to follow suit. |

| No linkage between the rec program at the earliest ages; no involvement with the rec/Ulittles. So when the top young players go travel they join parent led former rec coaches and there is no involvement with the academy. Academy should operate or involve themselves with the U6-U8 IMO. The. They can siphon off those players immediately. |

+1. I don't know why they let those younger kids go so easily. They have trouble filling teams at the younger ages and that could be easily remedied by utilizing all the spin-off parent led BRYC teams. Management 101 |

| The boys side has the worse U-littles travel director in the DMV. It all starts there. Until you acknowledge the problem you won't be able to fix it. |

| I don't understand why they don't have age group directors that oversee both Bridge and Elite teams just to keep an idea on talent. It is bizarre that they let everyone operate independently. |

| They dont care about bridge or even elite. They only care about ECNL. They won't change rosters on those teams either because its a steady income from those parents who have already drank the Kool Aid |

Maybe/hopefully that will change with ODSL out of the picture now but would really begin unti lthe 2013s are getting formed. The early-age travel spinoffs from the rec talent pool used to go to ODSL first, which didn't require going through Academy because the Rec program is affiliated with ODSL (while Academy is affiliated with NCSL and ECNL). I've posted this before on other threads but the BRYC talent on boys and girls sides is spread out across the Bridge/ODSL clubs and the Academy. In most instances the best talent at the youngest ages is with Bridge/ODSL because the coaches forming that team get the pick of the crop from the rec/all star pool. When other players decide they want to try travel later on they are kind of left with not many options because teams are full. In addition, many Bridge/ODSL teams have numerous players playing up. So BRYC never has its best talent on the same team at the same time EVER from U6-U19. The price difference, too, is another factor. ODSL travel pricing (and Bridge) with volunteer led coaches is a bargain--probably cheapest travel cost in the area; whereas the Academy pricing is comparable to other clubs in the areas who have academies/paid coaching staffs. But with ODSL out of the picture, Academy has an opportunity to say all BRYC travel is either through Academy or not all for 2013s and going forward. They also could benefit themselves immensely, IMO, if they tried to have some type of invovelment with rec. Even if it's leading or assiting with the all star teams at the end of each Fall and Spring seasons; and/or hosting a free training session before, after or mid-season. |
