[quote=Mannschaft][quote=Cruzado]It would be good for Northern VA if BRAVE succeeded as a strong ECNL club.

However, taking a step back and looking at the overall situation, it looks like for BRAVE to be successful there will need to be a simple merger of BRYC and Vienna. Full stop.

With a complete merger, the best players could support a good ECNL team and there should still be enough players at the next level who can support strong ECNL-R teams.

Just my two-cents. [/quote]

I’m not sure what this accomplishes. The youngest group (2010s) are fine.  The girls are 11-6-2, tying with an excellent VDA team for 56 goals scored, just behind Union’s 58. They just narrowly lost the 2nd flight in Jeff Cup last weekend.

The Brave boys are 5-17-1, but did so without much support from the existing BRYC players. I’ll withhold judgement on that, but it will take time for new players to flow through.

The VYS 2010 girls are 4-1-2 in ECNL-R and in the North, only VSA is objectively better.  The boys are 3-5-0, but again, had to make up for all the BRYC boys who left.

It isn’t like combining clubs helps Brave at all, and the VYS ECNL-R teams are fine.  The BRYC teams will likely improve with more competitive ECNL Brave teams.

For the 2011s, the VYS boys are 3-3, and the girls are 3-4. The 2012 VYS boys are 5-2-1, and the girls are 5-3.

Give it time, but for the younger groups to be middle of the pack or better is promising.

ETA- We already basically have a merger for top teams, this just merges their ECNL-R teams. I don’t think they need that, and you compromise on practice location.
