[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Game is trending bigger.  People make same complaints in UK, all clubs looking for the next Jude Bellingham and missing on Vitinha.

Folks are being a bit petty here.  Some of SYC's best players leave for academies, which is one reason they don't have the same level of success at older ages (same as Bethesda).

What the club has accomplished in the last couple of weeks is to be commended.  They represented the DMV soccer community extremely well.  I have no affiliation with SYC.

Yes, I agree that SYC should be commended and they represented the DMV.  However, to the original question in this post, what if these fast maturing and talents kids were actually developed under Arlington, Achilles or Bethesda?

We would be considered a tier 2 hot spot right under TX, SoCal, Philly/NJ and FL and actually producing USMNT players and European academy prospects.  Instead, SYC sends a few to DCU and their dreams die and end with a D1 spot for a kid talented enough to play in the Champions League.

I know a kid who is way better than my son right now who just went to SYC and I now know how my kid will surpass him over the next 3-4 years when this stuff really starts to matter.  That is how bad their development is IN COMPARISON to Arlington, Achilles and Bethesda.[/quote]

so bitter at losing your star player[/quote]

No star player is ever, ever leaving another local MLSNext club to go to SYC. If they are, they were never a star player. A good player, a starter even. But not a star player. Star players on MLSNext teams are only leaving to go to an MLS academy team. [/quote]

That is not true.  SYC 2010 had several new players the last few years, stayed 1 year and went to DCUA. There's another thread on this topic about SYC giving more support to the new players and overlooking their long time loyal players and not giving them the same opportunity.  The point was why these 1st year players didn't get picked up from clubs they came from like Arlington, Alexandria, Paragon to name a few when they were there and after 1 year, they went onto DCUA.  Don't say SYC developed them in 12 month but couldn't for their long time players, and don't say those are much better than the long players.   [/quote]

Going to DCU is not an achievement right now.  That is probably why the academy is struggling because they have this SYC philosophy of the biggest and strongest but the kids eventually get passed around when everybody is developed and the ball mastery foundations show just how well a kid was "developed" from the ages of 8-14.[/quote]

Going to DCU doesn’t mean you are likely to be on USMNT but by god, it ABSOLUTELY is an achievement. Give me a break. It’s like saying playing soccer at XYZ D1 school isn’t an achievement because they aren’t as competitive. It’s still a bloody achievement.[/quote]
