[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we stop with SYC already. They will never be considered for DA.[/quote]

Why would they ever be considered?[/quote]

Because they actually develop boys into really good teams, are in an ideal location, and have committed like other groups to academies for earlier ages and futsal (like a few other area clubs).  In other words, pretty much the opposite of Arlington pre-DA on the youth side.  Why on earth do we think something as dysfunctional as the USSDA system would ever be interested in an idea like that?  Until we stop thinking about soccer as an upper middle class sport in America, we're not going to do any better on the boys side of the ledger.[/quote]

Is this with the new director who has been there a year?[/quote]

Maybe SYC is following Alexandria’s approach to come on here for marketing purposes? [/quote]

Huh?  So everything said might be correct, but it is irrelevant?[/quote]

LOL. Everything correct - please. Random statement of we (SYC) develop boys - support it. Ideal location - stuck between 3 current DA clubs, no real facilities, and traffic ground zero - how is that ideal? We do futsal and young kid training - like everybody else in the region, so what. Direct dig at arlington, why - pretty sure they don’t care about you. Why are you going out of your way to attack them? Dysfunctional Boys USSDA league? Please, the Boys DA is unequivocally the best boys league in the nation. Are they dysfunctional because SYC is not on their radar? The league works well and has indeed concentrated talent where it can be seen. Finally, boys soccer is bad at the national level because you say it is a upper middle class sport? You clearly need to look at the background of the players at the National level - they are not upper middle class products. So nothing really seems correct in the statement so it is probably irrelevant. But hey, SYC is clearly the solution.[/quote]

Nobody is arguing about the quality of the boys DA, so simmer down - you can bask in your kid's glory without worry from anybody on these boards.  For kids in Alexandria, South County, Springfield, Woodbridge, Fairfax, and Annandale, it is better located than Arlington or DCU, and for all other than Woodbridge, better than VDA.  There may be a little talent in those areas.  Just maybe.  Not hard to understand the locational point.  And I am assuming that DCU goes to Loudoun.  Until that happens, no need for any DA expansion at all.  Totally agree.  And I understand about kids at the national level.  I think they still need to do a better job at absolutely every level to substantially increase the ability of economically challenged kids to make their way.  We're not there yet at all.  [/quote]
