[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SYC girls are better anyway. And McLean isn’t anything but a club full of players developed at other clubs as it is. Now they can just slap another name (Union) on it to make it more palatable.[/quote]

lol let's count how many SYC girls are on McLean's ECNL team.[/quote]

In most age groups, SYC has 0-2 girls who made ECNL team.  I believe 08 age group is the only age group with more a significant SYC presence. [/quote]

Really other clubs developed the players? My kid left a another club because she wanted to play soccer vs kick and run. Believe it or not some kids want to play soccer like they see it played in the highest pro leagues. They are no where close to that level but they are tired of playing the dump down soccer offered at other clubs. Skilled technical players want to play with other skilled and technical players.

I have no skin in this game - but I agree that the "XYZ club doesn't develop kids, other clubs developed the kids and they just moved to XYZ" argument is a really bad one no matter which club it is applied to.

The kids develop all over the place at varying paces and for varying causes.  They then make a choice about where they wish to continue their development.  The fact they choose to move to XYZ (in this case McLean) shows that they consider that XYZ offers the best development environment for them going forwards (or possibly that they no longer care about development, but I doubt this).[/quote]
