[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are moving to Thoreau MS. My son will try out probably for the VYS probably bc all the fields are near our new house.  But we are worried about the discontent.  We've heard it from some parents and on this board. .  Where would my kid find friends from his MS in a team??? CYA looks good. Their teams seem pretty competitive.  Do they accept new team members on a team higher than their lower teams?  My son is a solid travel player.

Any info on the club would be great. [/quote]

CYA draws some Vienna kids, but more toward the Oakton side of town, where it's closer. The younger boys teams are directed by Jane Dawber, who used to coach in Vienna before the troubles came and is still pretty well regarded.

I'm no fan of the VYS technical director, but if you're on the B (Black) or C (White) teams, I don't see much point in going elsewhere. The A (Red) teams will be in more turmoil, in part because the older ones (including MS ages) are stuck playing in VPL, where they're often overmatched and have to travel a long way. (That'll change a little this spring with the new divisional approach, but they also won't have many games on the schedule just yet.)

If your son is a really serious player with ambitions of playing in college and so forth, you'll probably want to look at Braddock Road or Bethesda South.

So that's a long way of saying I'm not sure what CYA would offer you. Probably not many Thoreau kids, and probably not a better soccer experience. That said, they're a decent enough club, and it wouldn't hurt to try out and maybe see if other Thoreau kids turn up there.

Meanwhile -- any interest in playing for a House team in the spring? :)[/quote]
