[quote=NotMessi]While league placement in ECNL shows that BRYC boys are doing better than the girls within the ECNL leagues, it’s important to point out that that doesn’t mean the BRYC boys program is stronger than its girls program.  They appear to be roughly equal when looking at Youth Soccer Rankings, and the disparity in league results is merely due to the fact that nearly all of the top girls’ programs play ECNL, while on the boys side a number of the top programs play in MLS Next.

Here are the Youth Soccer Rankings for BRYC girls vs. boys, including the 2010s as that would be the first year the BRYC/Vienna partnership takes place:
Year	Boys	Girls
2010	25th 20th
2009 29th 40th
2008 14th 17th
2007	8th 	18th
2006	16th 6th
2005	22nd 9th
03/04 5th 	5th

Here are BRYC Boys vs. VYS Boys
Year	BRYC  VYS
2010	25th    9th
2009 29th  15th
2008 14th  17th
2007	8th 	 44th
2006	16th   49th
2005	22nd  24th
03/04 5th 	 35th

Perhaps not too much immediate help from VYS in some of the older years, but the VYS pipeline is strong if you look at the younger age groups -- there would be immediate help from 2010-2008, not including others from outside clubs that might come due to the new partnership.

Here are BRYC Girls vs. VYS Girls
Year	  BRYC  VYS
2010	  20th   3rd
2009   40th   9th
2008   17th   9th
2007	  18th  25th
2006	   6th   12th
2005	   9th   19th
03/04   5th    9th

Obviously VYS brings a lot to the table here and you can again see the strong pipeline by looking at the younger age groups.

Overall this partnership makes a lot of sense as the clubs are geographically contiguous, BRYC needs/wants a larger player pool to supports its ECNL players, and VYS needs/wants the ECNL pathway for its top players.  Most of the combined BRYC/VYS ECNL teams will be significantly stronger overnight than the existing BRYC teams (look what SYC did for the McLean 2008 girls), as VYS’ top players feed in masse into the BRYC/VYS entity.
