[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad]I either coached or coached against a bunch of players on the VYS 06 team, and I have no idea how good they are.

Neither do you. [/quote]

Either way, the team is in the middle of a downward spiral.  They lost 0-3 to "powerhouse" CYA yesterday.

That's the same result they had in May 2019. [/quote]

Though, they beat CYA 5-4 in August 2019, then lost to them 3-2 in Sept 2019. They were competitive games from the score sheet. 
In Nov 2019, they beat Tidewater 7-0 but this year they tied 1-1.  :(

Yeah, that's strange.

But it's incumbent on the "downward spiral" person to provide more evidence beyond a few scores. What factors led to this alleged spiral? How many were exacerbated by COVID?

[b]They sent kids to Bethesda South [/b]and then McLean a couple of years ago. Was there a big exodus this year? If so, why?

And why does the "downward spiral" person care so much?

My theory about such people is that they left and are then trying to justify their decision. (If that's the case here, I might actually know who it is! Or I could find out rather quickly.) [/quote]

They sent kids to Bethesda South?  You mean "A few kids fled to Bethesda South".  I know it's not much but your words put such a nice spin on it like VYS was cooperating with other clubs.  These kids and parents couldn't wait to leave Vienna and play with better kids and better coaching.  [/quote]

Ah yes! The mass exodus to Bethesda South...we all remember that. It left VYS in shambles.  LOL
What happened to Bethesda South anyway?  :P [/quote]

OK, let's nip this in the bud.

Maybe "sent" is the wrong word, but so is "fled." Bethesda South had a fantastic team. Others would know more than me, but I think it was more or less a one-man show, and when he moved on, there was no more program. It wasn't a player exodus.

The point here is that I know some players left the 06 team a couple of years ago. I don't know of any reason why the team would be worse *this* year than it was *last* year, but while I would probably recognize a few names if I had a roster, I don't know why it would've declined.

And I'm sure "downward spiral" is an exaggeration, and I wonder why someone would so motivated to say otherwise. [/quote]

I said nothing about a downward spiral.  Someone else did. I just knew the two kids that left when 06 Bethesda South team was created.  I agree that their wasn't a mass exodus. I never said that either. I think there were TWO kids, but yet you said "VYS sent kids there" to make it seem like there was a big affect on the VYS team.  And yes, the coach did leave after a few years but he never promised anything more and he actually stayed a year or two longer than what he originally thought would happen.  This is a fantastic example of what is NOT needed.  You don't need these big clubs and big leagues in the younger ages.  You need a good coach that busts his ass for the kids, you need to be on a team with competitive kids that train hard, and be on a team that plays lots of competitive games.  That's what BSC-South was. THEN...a few kids left Bethesda South after the first year and three more Vienna kids joined.[/quote]
