[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone please address how if you can afford the relatively high cost of putting your third grader in travel, that said kiddo will make /A /team? Is the talent pool so large that VYS can run four "travel" teams? Isn't this a bit watered down?

I contend that making travel anything, but mostly soccer in Vienna is simply a given for the striving, competitive parents who also have a do or die approach to choosing the right school, program, camp, college. These are also the biggest loudmouth screamers joysticking on the sidelines.

So travel at the 3rd grade level is merely a product of overly competitive parents?  I just want to make sure I understand your statement.[/quote]

Well overly competitive ANYTHING is not a condition that afflicts VYS. [/quote]

I'm happy with what I've seen in the last 2 years at VYS. We are competitive but there has been more emphasis on player development than winning.

I don't understand when you say competitive. competitive with whom exactly? VYS has not moved into more competitive leagues or have dominating teams and that has been the case forever. I measure a program being competitive if , you know, its on par with its competitors. Should VYS strive to be more like BRYC, Mclean, Arlington FCV and their top teams? or is being on par with those clubs silver and gold teams sufficient?[/quote]
