[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all a large reason why BRYC ECNL/pre-ECNL teams might look "poor" for boys or girls from time to time -- they never have the top talent within the club on the same team at any given time.  There also is often several players playing up an age level on each Bridge team, too.

There is plenty of talent within the club across all the player pools--it's just spread out all over the place and not condensed like it is at other clubs.  Things simply are run differently.[/quote]

The elite academy side is very clique loaded meaning promotion is rarely accepted. Demotion is unheard of there. There is a clear line drawn between elite and bridge. [b]Parents and coaches of elite really look down on the bridge teams and families.[/b] It is almost like how dare you pretend to be part of the club. [/quote]

Can only speak for myself, but as the parent of a kid on one of the bridge teams, the bolded is a non-issue. My kid is happy, learning and appropriately challenged. Personally, I don't think the word "elite" is at all appropriate to use with soccer for younger kids. But that's just me.[/quote]

Same here. I have kids on Bridge and kids in Elite. I don’t get sense of anyone looking down on the other. There are simply different priorities for those players. I have one who is content with Bridge and another who is more competitive and eats sports for breakfast lunch and dinner and welcomes that more committed and cerebral atmosphere as it relates to the nuances of the game from the coaches and other players in the Elite pool.

My sense from other clubs in the area is there is not much middle ground unless you kid is just not good enough to be in the A or B team then they are on the C team and dumped into NCSL or another league. [/quote]
