[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VYS House registration dropped about 10 percent year over year (Spring 2015 vs. Spring 2016). Why? I don't get it . . . [/quote]

Travel pulling large number of kids from House to replace former Vienna travel players who departed to other clubs.  [/quote]

In midyear?

Actually, that's kind of hard to track. Can't really compare fall to spring. The initial post here compares spring to spring, which is fair.

House kids play spr 2015 in rec, try out for traviel end of season, accepted to replace departing former travel players, don't come back following year to house, travel numbers appear to stay stable spr 2015 vs. spr 2016, but house numbers decline spr 2015 vs. spr 2016.[/quote]

I'm not sure how much of an exodus VYS had among travel players in 2015. They always have some players leave, of course -- some to other clubs, some military families, etc. In the age group I knew best, absolutely dominant House players either made the ODSL teams or didn't make it at all.

That said, I'm not sure how many new people VYS has ever attracted. People may leave VYS for other clubs, whether they're bound for DA/ECNL/other elite teams or just grumpy. I'm not sure how many people switch clubs to come TO VYS. It's a community club that doesn't seem to bring in a lot of people from outside Vienna. (Eddie Lima always said he would always prefer Vienna players.)

But for a general year-to-year decline, I'm not sure how to account for it. In my two age groups (both boys), we're swamped with players. Fewer girls? Fewer older kids? [/quote]
