[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this talk of Mclean, Arlington, Loudoun, FCV and other clubs doing DA and/or ECNL. I just never understood why vienna, generally speaking, was not close to any of these clubs in terms of talent, progress or reputation. Its smack in the middle of all these far more successful clubs, yet they aren't very good. The talent has to be there, and I know talent from vienna find themselves on other clubs instead of staying with VYS. It's been several years since VYS has recruited new technical directors, yet I see no tangible improvement compared to neighboring clubs.[/quote]

I think the plan - but could be wrong - that with VYS joining the VDA about a year ago, the hope was that Vienna kids would stay "home" and start to filter into the VDA. This will obviously take several years to reach its full potential (or to determine that this path didn't work) so evaluating after one year will not give a good enough picture. Vienna never really had an upper echelon program for the kids (and/or the kids parents) that had those aspirations to participate in and now it does.

The TDs have some good ideas and plans but at times appear to be a little handcuffed. Full Stop.[/quote]

Agreed. Given how many kids from the Vienna, Oakton, Fairfax and Falls Church areas feed into DAs, VYS obviously wants to keep more players in Vienna and VDA may or may not pick up a few of hem depending on whether they stay and whether they are competitive. If those areas (perhaps with Annandale) has a single club, they would go head to head easily with any club in the area.  With a town of 20,000 or so. I would say VYS probably punches above its weight compared to clubs drawing from 200-300,000 people. [/quote]
