[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both their 2012 and 2013 boys teams are top 3 teams in the DC area. They are technical and very aggressive (they will slide tackle all day and foul you, but they are good teams)[/quote]

I think 2014 boys should also be on that list.

I’m not a huge fan of SYC, but I’m not sure they deserve all of the hate they are getting here either. My kids have played their teams plenty (boys and girls) over the years, and while they are very aggressive, I’m not sure they are any more so than lots of other teams (especially on the boys’ side). I know 2 of their coaches who are super nice guys, and have watched others.

The ‘10 Union team is basically ‘10 SYC, so add another really strong team to their list. They’re a good club. [/quote]

The SYC U little boys coach (or coaches, I couldn’t tell if it was the same guy) is obnoxious with the screaming. It makes for a very hostile environment—to be clear he yells at his own team (non stop) but my son playing agains them still told me it was very stressful playing while he was screaming so much. Just not the kind of thing that U little soccer is supposed to be about.

Same with the cynical fouls. The type of intentional foul where the SYC player sees another kid breaking away and just decides to kick his legs out from under him on purpose as an easy way to stop him. (The stuff that would yield a card in a real game, but not in U little where cards are basically non-existent.)

Anyway, I’m sure it all catches up with them in the end and by the older ages. It’s just a very bad look for young kids where it’s supposed to be about developing them to make their own decisions and develop their skills, not winning at all costs.[/quote]
