Not true in my experience, at least on the boys side. The coaching is/wasvery good, and some players develop well and become players on the red team, but the club has a small player pool and will have difficulty competing against teams from much bigger cities and towns. [/quote]

I’ve repeatedly heard that VYS has a “small player pool” but don’t understand why that is the case. There are no official boundaries for clubs. VYS is centrally located in the heart of Fairfax County, a massive county with many players and clubs. Why would VYS’s player pool be any smaller than McLean or BRYC?

VYS may be drawing fewer players, but that’s not due to any inherent limitations in the available player pool. Clubs compete for players. Saying VYS has a small player pool sounds to me like an excuse for not attracting more players and building more competitive teams.

I get that there’s a chicken-and-egg dynamic to this — to have success you need to attract players, and to attract players you need to be successful — but that’s always the case for every club.

VYS could be bigger and more competitive than it is.[/quote]
