[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]Just to add to the above.... My son who is at BRYC started at Vienna. He was not on the top team and we felt he should have been. After a few years playing for Vienna and not being moved up we decided to look around and chose BRYC. He has really flourished at BRYC and if he wanted to could probably return to Vienna and easily make their top team but we are happy with the training he is getting. One of the positives or negatives with our VYS experience is there are almost no movement between teams from year to year. The good news is players are rarely moved down a team so if you have a kid who is having an "off" year their spot is fairly secure. The bad news if you have a strong player on a lower team it is hard to move up unless it's a roster-growing year or they have players who have quit.

My oldest played for Vienna for a few years and left for McLean with a bunch of other girls. This was back in the days where all the talented girls played for either McLean or FCV. She ended up staying there until her junior year when she wanted to focus more on school and take soccer less seriously so she ended up coming back to Vienna.  [/quote]

I may want to do a survey one of these days to see if any clubs actually promote from within. Seems to be a common complaint.

Of course, a lot of kids quit as they get older, so spaces open up. And I was surprised to learn a couple of years ago that a lot of kids come back to House league in high school with the hopes of playing House in the fall and high school in the spring. Little wonder a team of House All-Stars I coached beat a travel team rather soundly.[/quote]

A kid who plays on my son's team was on Vienna's B team although felt he should be on A team. He said he was leaving and then Vienna decided to offer him the A team spot.  he didn't take it.  He and his parents are so happy they left.  Pulled their daughter too.[/quote]
