[quote=Anonymous][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]

Losing four or five from the top of the roster would essentially a first team at Vienna comparable to a second team at big clubs. The same might even be true for similar losses at top teams at big clubs. It depends on where the play and the gap between top and bottom of the roster. [/quote]
