[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family have had good experiences with VYS at the younger travel ages recently; less good at the U12/U13 range several years ago, although I know coaches and staff have mostly changed since then, so it seems to be that VYS is better than it might have been in the past.

I do think it's disappointing (and sharp practice) for clubs to stagger their tryout/offer/acceptance periods rather than agree to a more coordinated approach that would provide players with the opportunity to tryout with multiple clubs, talk with multiple coaches, see what spots they are offered, and choose the club that's best for them.

For example, VYS has tryouts tonight, and will be sending out offers shortly thereafter asking parents to respond within 48 hours.  Some other nearby clubs haven't even held tryouts yet.  One has to assume that these clubs know exactly what they're doing to parents when they create these tryout schedules.[/quote]

Yes, they do - and it works for the vast majority of the parents who are looking for a rinse and repeat for the sake of convenience. Doesn't work so well when it comes to parents or kids who are striving to achieve a next level in soccer. This is why you see VYS perform well at the younger ages and taper off in the older ages. The competitive, talented kids go elsewhere. That's not to say there is something wrong with VYS. But, their model is structured around building fundamentals and chartering a course to play soccer - not necessarily serving as the vehicle for all throughout. Everyone has to have their niche. Theirs is the younger ages.[/quote]
