Seriously, arguing about a club that's playing in the 4th tier of the local soccer scene. Kids will play there regardless and if they're good enough, they'll leave for other clubs. Plenty will stay because NoVa parents prefer to have their kid on an A team than a B team, regardless of circumstances. They'll continue to exist, just like every other club in the area, good product or bad. What they won't be able to do is get out of that hole. Merger or no merger, the DA and ECNL clubs will remain at the top for the foreseeable future. [/quote]

I think CYA is likely happy being what they are. I would imagine a SYA merger would simply increase their player pool and provide an overall more competitive product. I don't think CYA would have any ambitions beyond providing quality regional teams in leagues like CCL. There is room and a market for clubs that cater to a more sensible local travel soccer experience. [/quote]

I don't think CYA or SYA have much of a choice in where they want to be. That's the whole reason for the merger talk. And neither club is competing even regionally at this point. You're right that there's a market for them, however, I'm not sure what makes them more or less sensible.[/quote]

No, they have a choice. If they wanted to get all their ducks in a row and try to be a DA or ECNL club they have had time to do that years ago. It just isn't what CYA and CYA soccer really wants to do. Remember, CYA is a very large sports organization not just a soccer club. CYA provides, Basketball, Track, Lacrosse etc. In fact soccer is just one of 12 sports and activities that they offer. SYA is similar in that they are also a multi-sport organization as well. SYA offers travel softball, volleyball, baseball, basketball and cheer on top of soccer.

Soccer is a big part of CYA but it isn't the only part. Their objective as an organization is to provide a quality sports organization for the Chantilly area. They simply do not have the desire to be a destination club like a Loudoun or FCV. They are more in line with Vienna in being a quality "low" cost community organization that offers kids a chance to play in many organized sports. [/quote]

If ever there was proof that CYA management follows this thread... I'm surprised it wasn't written in purple.[/quote]
