[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

I was speaking in reference to the thread in general. Besides, it's an anonymous message board, so no one knows who's saying what unless I do because I actually put a name on mine that's very easy to trace.

[quote]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.[/quote]

I know them both. Great kids, great families. I coached one.

[quote]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.[/quote]

I know. Great coach.

[quote]This is a fantastic example of what is NOT needed.  You don't need these big clubs and big leagues in the younger ages.[/quote]

Then where do kids start playing? Bethesda South didn't offer programs for the younger ages.

[quote]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]

So that's five total. That would have some impact on the VYS team, wouldn't it?

And it doesn't strike me as a bad thing in which people "fled." They learned how to play at their local club. They moved on to a team that was basically a regional All-Star team.

It's actually a rare thing in youth soccer. The system worked!

And I'm still waiting for the "downward spiral" person to explain why that's allegedly the case.[/quote]

Yes, I only said that I'm not the downward spiral person just so you know I'm someone else.  Yes, losing 5 should most certainly affect a team.  I meant to say that you said VYS sent them there to make it seem like their was a partnership with Vienna and that was certainly not the case.[/quote]
