What are you even talking about?  SYC isn't transitioning to "elite" club soccer.  They're a mess.  They just fired a bunch of coaches in the middle of the year.  Who would want to go to a club that does things like that?  For parents of elite players especially, they put a lot of time and thought into finding the situation they think is optimal for their kid's development.  At SYC, even if they thought they found such a situation (like the coach, like the training, like the club's philosophy), they now know that it could all change in the middle of the year without any warning or explanation, just b/c Dotty wants to make a change.   Elite players will run away from a club run like that, not toward it.

Same with coaches too.  When they land a coaching job, they count on it being set for the year.  For the ones who just got canned, it will be almost impossible to find new coaching jobs at this time of year.  That's a lot of lost income to try and replace.  Who would want to take a job with an organization like that?

Besides, even if the new TD turns out great, SYC is too close to DA and ECNL clubs to ever make it to elite status.  Heck, the couldn't even get into CCL I.  At best they will be a feeder club.  [/quote]

Transition: change or passage from one state or stage to another.

I don't know how long it will take or whether, in the long run, it will be successful, but that's what they're going for. Yep, this has been a rough start. Yep, SYC is not elite (except for 2 teams, whose coaches have now apparently been fired). But five years from now, when no one remembers the messy TD transition and Este's crew has had a chance to build?

The argument about being too close to DA/ECNL clubs and the leagues they couldn't get into last year isn't even worth replying to. [/quote]
