[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's crazy that some parents think winning is not important 16+.... College coaches are not going to sit and watch a team that can't win a game. I would look at the amount of coaches that watch McLean and BRYC at 16-17-19 in Greer and Sanford and compare it to what shows up for Loudoun and VDA matches. There is absolutely no reason teams 16+ should not be going on the field to win games. If you are being told other wise run... fast. [/quote]

Absolutely true.  At that point, if a team is getting its ass handed to it game after game, either find another team to play or accept that your child should be playing in a lower division.  Players won't get recruited from teams that can't compete. [/quote]

OK --- then compare the commitments from the Richmond U-17 team (sub 500 win pct) and the BRYC U-17 (about 600 win pct) --- looks that Richmond team is  doing just fine in placing girls in  higher profile programs that the BRYC team.

BTW: If you think you're kid won't get recruited on a bad ECNL team because nobody watches them, how many coaches do you think come to CCL / NCSL  / etc games? And do you think the coaches will be excited about a worse player on a successful CCL / NCSL player.

That's like saying only players from FBS teams will get drafted into the NFL, and if you're not one of those teams, no NFL scout will see you.[/quote]

Actually, that U17 team doesn't have that bad of a record, so I don't know that I see your point.  They only lose half the time.  They have won 6 games, tied 1, and then lost 7.  That's not terrible.  I'm talking about teams that can't win a game, ever.  And lose by multiple goals.

Also, overall as a club, Richmond United has a strong enough reputation to draw the coaches and some of their club coaches are well connected.  Any club that has overall a reasonably decent record can draw scouts.  If you are in a club that is losing badly across the board and just can't compete, then you will be written off.  Richmond United also has the advantage of being the only ECNL or similar type program in the area.

I'm not talking clubs with close games, like a lot of 0-1 losses and some ties.   [/quote]
