[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the above awkward rant against the program.

I can't speak about Juniors from many years ago but can say that most recently, it has been a great development program for U8 players aiming for U9 travel. The two coaches that are leaving are a big loss for the club. They not only developed players from a technical standpoint but also focused on developing the mental aspect of developing as a player. A lot of focus was placed on letting players solve problems/issues among each other instead of the coaches being more authoritarian. My DS improved over the year and developed other aspects of his game that aren't really focused on at this age like gamesmanship, caring for injured teammates and respecting their peers.

Now that they are gone, I do not know how that dynamic will work between an outside company and the players. I also don't know of any club that brought in an outside soccer development company to run an age group entirely. MYS might miss on the coaching philosophies that its own coaches teach to the players. [/quote]

We did Juniors in the past few years and it was amazing. Like any other travel team it is highly dependent on the coach. And in this case MYS scored a great coach. That coach was with MYS for a while but is moving to a club that is very far away...outside coaches will not be used for juniors with this partnership. Its just the curriculum. Which in many ways is consistent with why the current coach was awesome. He had a planned curriculum for each practice which he had researched. Now the research will be done for them which I sense may ensure consistency.[/quote]

Yes this is a step down.  No good MYS coaches anymore.
