[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s the same people who year after year go after BRYC saying they are about to be kicked out of ECNL-they are not.
One year it was supposed to be definite and it was not and now the Loudoun and GA hate. I wonder does this poster spend all their time dreaming up negative things that will not happen? Get back to work.[/quote]

ECNL has to be seriously considering whacking BRYC. There is just not a single age group that is even slightly competitive. The Loudoun stuff is just poppycock. ECNL knew the older teams would not be terribly successful but the younger teams would likely retain their talent and remain competitive and that is proving true.

Same would go for Arlington. Their younger teams are doing just fine. [/quote]

Lol You labor under a false premise. The league is not about elite soccer, being competitive or “developing” players. It’s about making money, protecting existing clubs(the bigger the more influence they have in the league) and getting as much money out of their clients as they can. So yes BRYC is fine, is not going anywhere and has no pressure to change. Their decline is more about the area they draw from and all the clubs there vs anything else. They will still put kids in college.

Loudoun has a huge pool of players and can continue to suck at the older ages because no one cares. [b]They can game the ulittles, win, have like 5-6 teams(make a ton of money) and by the time you are U15/u16 it’s over.[/b] You are not changing teams at that point, the rosters are set and it is too late develop for college. This is not an attack on Loudoun other clubs do the same thing. Arlington at the lower ages have one coach for two teams. Everyone gets charge the same but the coach is only paying attention to maybe 8-10 kids at the most. The other 22 are basically on their own. Lots of kid fall through the cracks at that programs. It’s a extremely bad way to develop players or teach kids at the young ages but it is cheap and uses less field space. Think if you had a choice at 3rd or 4th grade for your kid. One school will have one teacher for 32 kids. The other will have one teacher for 16 kids. Oh and because of logistics the coach will show up for 1/2 your games if your kid is on the 2nd team you are lucky.

An ECNL club does not get more money for putting kids in college or winning games. There is no pressure to win or develop players. Seriously it is a ticket to print money. [/quote]

What you said about Loudoun was true in the past, when the top talent left after U12.  They are now sticking around, and the results can be seen with significantly better play/records/etc in the U13-U15 age groups (which we the first groups to stay intact after Loudoun getting into ECNL).
