[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard the 09 Brave girls team turned over almost the entire team. Apparently with the creation of Brave, the 09 was the legacy VYS team and basically everyone got pissed because they were losing, too much travel for ecnl and everyone turned on the coach and assist. coach, who they previously loved when they were winning in NCSL but hated and blamed when they were losing in ecnl. Almost all of the players dropped down to regional league so they don’t have to travel and won’t lose as much. Parents blaming the coaches for doing a terrible job preparing their kids and throughout the season. I guess that brave merger isn’t working out. VYS coaches were never known for being reputable. In ecnl they are getting exposed.[/quote]

The unfortunate outcome of the 2009G Brave team was because of the coach (lack of experience, lack of direction, lack of promoting team comradery, could go on and on). It was not because of the team makeup of being more VYS players, or the losing, or too much travel! The team make up was 6 or 7 VYS, (1) BRYC, and the rest being from outside the club (my daughter being one of them). And out of the 16, the 13 that left only about 6 went RL the other 7 are now playing for VDA, NVA, and BSC. The team had potential just not the right leadership!!![/quote]

Sounds like it was blaming the coach. Lack of direction?  6 of 16 dropping down to rl on their own is a lot for a ecnl team. [/quote]

Several reasons could apply. One idea is there are too many ECNL teams and not enough talent now in the area so some players are naturally figuring that out on their own and aligning hope with reality. Some folks are reprioritizing their time and commitment (due to other commitments; what's important to them etc.); they want to keep playing and need something above rec level or NCSL but don't want the commitment of ECNL because they understand they aren't going to play the sport in college aside from intramurals and maybe the club team. Another idea is that, yes, they had a bad experience with the club/coach; maybe it was too late to try out for other ECNL clubs and maybe it wasn't but they did and didn't make it or they did make it but decided it wasn't worth it.

As someone else noted, not everyone who leaves an ECNL team, even a bad one, just leaves ECNL, they may just show up at a different ECNL club on a different ECNL team.[/quote]
