[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. Parents and coaches of elite really look down on the bridge teams and families. It is almost like how dare you pretend to be part of the club. [/quote]

I'm not sure who continues to perpetuate this myth, but we've been involved with the club for many years and I can tell you at least on the girls' side, this is patently untrue. I know kids who left the ECNL program and went to the bridge program and they remain friends with and are supported and cheered for by the girls/parents from the ECNL teams. Maybe hard to believe (esp based on posts to this site), but most of us travel soccer parents understand differing priorities and really just want the kids to enjoy the sport regardless of which option they choose as their soccer home. We spend exactly zero time feeling superior (or inferior) to other teams/programs. Stop generating drama where there isn't any. [/quote]
