[quote=Anonymous]I know you spend a lot of time following the national soccer scene but as you've evidenced repeatedly on this board, that doesn't mean you know much about what's going on in your own backyard.

It's stating the obvious to say that "if no top player left VYS, then VYS would be better."  That's the same for every team, town, club, country, etc.

Madison Girls is having their best run ever in soccer because players from the one good VYS team (not teamS) are upperclassman but make no mistake, their best player is a product of McLean, having left VYS at U12 or 13.

I'd be shocked if more than 1 players leaves VYS for VDA.  For the few players that are good enough, why go all the way to Long and Howsion parks when you can be part of better teams at McLean, BRYC, Spirit or FCV that are more conveniently located?

Using baseball as an excuse for VYS' overall poor performance can only be used on the boys side.  But even that isn't valid as there are plenty of good boys soccer players in Vienna.  For example, 4 of the BRYC players who won a national championship last year came from Vienna.  It's just that VYS boys are so weak that most good boy players never enter VYS travel because everyone knows it's better to go to another club from the very beginning. (To help you out with your excuses for VYS, you could try claiming basketball is the reason for the lack of success on the girls side.  With the success of Paul VI, Oakton, Vienna Vogues and even Marshall this year, you can start milking that.)

There's not a soccerplex but there are plenty of soccer fields in VYS. They're just spread out at elementary and middle schools i/o of being grouped together.[/quote]
