[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are VYS try-outs? I know they are eliminating their 3rd and 4th teams at the older age groups. That should create extra drama.[/quote]

Saw THREE kids from their top Eagles teams (rising U12s and U13s) at another club's tryouts.  The barn door is open.[/quote]

This is the problem. The parents. Not the club. (And hell, to paraphrase a famous actress, is parents from other clubs.). Only a moron would view this as a bad sign about a club’s ability to develop a kid. The fact they are welcome at other tryouts and invited to join good teams in the area is actually good, not bad, if you can get over the dream of your little ones playing together happily ever after, or the preposterous conceit that all clubs are equally positioned to achieve supremacy.

What about a club’s ability to retain talent? 
And also you admit that VYS is not a “good” team.  Lol [/quote]

Good grief. Retention of top talent is really a function of how great the other players on the team can be. There is a limit to what clubs can do in making sure the players around top talent are sufficiently challenging.  Like I said, it is preposterous to assume that all clubs are equally positioned to challenge for top talent and leagues. There are first mover advantages, name-brand recognition, and positive feedback loops that perpetuate leadership positions for clubs like McLean and BRYC. There are local market advantages that favor clubs like Loudoun, Arlington and vda. You have to merge or make massive hires (or both) to challenge in the short term. That’s what SYC has been doing. We will see whether it works. Otherwise, cmon. [/quote]

So in short VYS still sucks because they don’t do those things. [/quote]
