[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does VYS aspire to be more than a neighborhood club? Why would you want this in an area where the elite level is already over saturated with options?

As a neighborhood club, you are content to see the most talented players leave the club for others offering higher levels of competition. It is a nice, comfortable niche. Maybe establish a pipeline to an ECNL club if you feel the need.[/quote]

The talent makes those determinations.  McLean and BRYC could be called the same. At some point, people decided to go further with it and the talent agreed. In terms of local talent, Vienna had more than either of those clubs at earlier ages. GFR is comparable. So yes, if they decide to ally, they could certainly strengthen a BRYC, which could use it. I don’t feel like this area of NOVA has any competitive options for my kid. So he plays elsewhere. [/quote]

Except that McLean and BRYC are both already in ECNL (the topic of this thread). So they are not in the same "neighborhood club" category as VYS since they draw from a wider area.  They both draw from VYS, among other clubs, just as your sons club probably has.

With regard to the motivation for such decisions, I think what you might be trying to say is that club leadership makes these decisions based on their own aspirations to be more than a neighborhood club, supported by their own assessments of the strength of their player pool. There is ego involved. Sometimes they are wrong, sometimes they are right. My point is that although mergers and alliances seem to be in vogue right now, it will change what is a nice neighborhood club.[/quote]

It would only affect the top team. Their second teams would stay as a neighborhood team. [/quote]
