[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is really pathetic to see adults coming on this forum to bash youth soccer teams.  My son does not play at VYS, but he is in 2006 age group and we live in the area so over the years I have become familiar with many of the area 2006 boys teams.  The VYS 2006 boys team is a solid travel team.  All the Jefferson Cup brackets have strong teams since they have enough applicants to screen the teams.  Not sure why it is necessary to denigrate the accomplishment of winning a Jefferson Cup bracket.  Look at Youth Soccer Rankings and you will seen the team is at a respectable competitive level for high school play.  A set of players from that VYS age group have moved to DA and ECNL teams over the years which is usually the case at VYS.  There are still some really strong players on that team the last time I saw them play including IMO the strongest VYS 2006 player I have seen.[/quote]

I agree with you on many things but you have to realize that some pathetic parents come on here to spread BS, half truths, deceive, slander, etc and some people like to call them out on it.  I don't believe anyone has anything against this particular team or the kids.  I'm sure it's a great bunch of kids.  With that said...I have to question what your angle is by repeating that you think the strongest VYS 06 you have seen is still on the team.  What is your angle?  I think you are trying to be all righteous and then want to take a parting shot at the 06s that have left the team by implying that they weren't the strongest players and, although it might be true, why do you have to point that out?  Now you are bringing in individual kids into the mix which is frickin wrong.[/quote]

Sorry I can see how it came across that way.  All of the players who left to go to DA and now ECNL teams are certainly strong players.  They would not have made the teams they are on if they were not.  Good luck to them in reaching their goals.  I was responding to a repeated anecdote on these boards (not just this thread) where if a local team is smoked by a super club like Arlington then it is strongly implied (if not directly stated) that the club, team, and players are all sub par and below any reasonable competitive level of play.  From what I have seen that is just not the case.[/quote]
