[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
