[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm somewhat puzzled. I was under the impression that the merger occurred primarily due to McLean's lackluster performance over time. Given its location, McLean should have had access to a good talent pool, and the talent from SYC didn't seem to benefit the Union boys much. So, why would they retain coaches from McLean then?[/quote]

The boys side both clubs suck.

The girls side McLean is better and has a long standing history of competitive and placement success. [/quote]

I wholeheartedly disagree with the comment that, "the boys side both clubs suck" in reference to coaching.  My family has had players registered with MYS since 2009.  Most clubs have a few "duds," coaches who disappoint.  But overall, MYS coaches have not disappointed.  To the contrary, they've consistently demonstrated professionalism and a commitment to their players.  Talent pool is another topic. Lets not confuse the two. The opportunities for boys to play college soccer (on scholarship) differs drastically compared to opportunities for girls. So is it possible that many parents of male youth soccer players in this area (where traffic frequently sucks) just aren't willing to spend money and time commuting for an ECNL experience that ultimately won't lead to a college scholarship for their sons?  There are cheaper other opportunities for youth boys to play a similar level of soccer (as most of the local boys ECNL teams) in the DC Metro area.[/quote]
