[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the goal is to eventually play in the GA or the Ecnl, get your foot in the door and go to Bryc or another ga/ecnl club at the younger age groups [/quote]

Question on why you think this?  Logically this makes sense to me, but based on other threads, it sounds like a major complaint of those programs from parents with kids in younger ages is exactly that they recruit over all the kids in the program and get enamored with new shiny toys.  As I said, logically this advice makes sense to me and theoretically those clubs should have more money/more attractive environments to hire better coaches at all ages because of that status, but it just doesn't seem to play out that way.  Forgetting about the ridiculous vitriol and club fighting in other threads, there does seem to be a pattern of older kid recruitment and talk of cherry picking better development elsewhere as opposed to "get in early because the club is great at player development and half the ECNL/GA kids tend to come from their own club".    Any parents out there that have stayed at a club (BRYC or other) a couple years prior to up to ECNL/GA willing to comment on the makeup of the club in year 1 or 2 of GA/ECNL relative to existing club players?
