[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To repeat what others have said, I don't think any VYS kid has any sort of advantage making the VDA team.

For that reason, I don't see why any VYS kid interested in getting better competition, be it DA or ECNL, would try out for VDA.  They are better ECNL and DA opportunities more conveniently located than VDA.  There are a number of former VYS players at FCV, Spirit, McLean and BRYC so depending on your kid's age, you could probably find a carpool even.[/quote]

exactly the point, beyond house soccer, VYS is not able to anchor local talent for its travel program. I've seen very talented U6, U7 and U8 VYS house players and thought they would be great for VYS travel program. Almost all of them go elsewhere (The really good players) at U9 and beyond. I take a look at the following years rosters and they arent at VYS anymore.

So yeas VYS isn't doing enough to keep local talent from leaving or even attracting talent from the outside. Its tough to want to be a better club yet have a majority of its teams compete in ODSL or NCSL because the talent isnt there. Thats also why local talent leave for better opportunities. Beyond the few girls ECNL teams, VYS has no way of competing for talent. Some clubs understand where they are and are happy with house being good enough or having a lackluster travel program that emphasizes convenience and "no pressure atmosphere"[/quote]
