[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SYC is more focused on winning and rankings than our last club. (That is not altogether terrible, but player development does take a backseat.)

The amount of times the goalies are allowed to punt the ball to midfield vs distribution is telling. Goal kicks? Just kick it as hard as you can.  Why work on receiving, passing and distribution, when we can just boot it?  Dribbling and showboating? Go for it! Why pass it when a few key players are encouraged to dribble as much has possible for their own development vs being encouraged to pass is to teammates is also telling.    We have a few kids who are excelling at the expense of the rest of the team.  Those same kids are also doing a lot of SYC coach's private training.

Tournaments? Enter as many as possible to get the points.

The teams are strong, but part of that is due to the large numbers at tryouts and the numbers of kids feeding into SYC.

All team and clubs have their issues, but there is less development here than our last club. (Out last club had mental health training, fitness training, frequent guest playing and player counseling included in the price.  SYC either doesn't do this often or you have to pay extra for it.)

Our team's strength is from kickball, showboating & big athletic kids but not from whole team development....we're not moving clubs, but I am beginning to wonder if the only thing better is to move to Europe.

Oh yes, we have the Instagram Virus... but that is perpetuated mostly by parents. [/quote]

You nailed it.

The teams are strong, they pick up the strong and or tallest kid that comes through the door.   They have key players that they play every game, the other ones will get shifted to the second team.  The keepers have no confidence playing with the ball.  They need to be able to kick long balls and that is about it.

As for practices?  Practices is consistently being moved around.  There is no field space.  GK training is once a week with a coach who is not even licensed (on the boy side).

If you want to be with a club that has strong social media present, then SYC is the club for you.  If you want to play kickball and not be developed as a soccer player, then SYC is the club for you.
