[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, how are VRSCs USL Super Y teams fairing this summer?[/quote]

Ask Loudoun they are all playing over there[/quote]

VRSC kids had to go to Loudoun to play summer league?  Wow[/quote]

Loudoun had trouble finding players probably due to the exodus from NVA. Im sure they were happy to take VRSC $$$ for the summer.[/quote]

Loudoun took VRSC kids because VRSC doesn't participate in Super Y.[/quote]this makes more sense. Any reason why they dont compete w the tons of teams they have?[/quote]

Super y is disorganized and a waste of time[/quote]

[i][b]"Disorganized"[/b][/i] is mostly accurate, though usually from a pre-season administrative perspective (in-season is fine).  [i][b]"Waste of time"[/b][/i] is relative.  For kids who just love playing, enjoy a team structure, and want to keep their fitness level up over the summer, Super-Y is a valid option.  Random camps are fun and legit off-season training outlets, but they're short bursts of soccer.  Super-Y gives that season'y and team feel.  The biggest challenge, regardless of club, is having enough kids at all age groups who will prioritize it given every family's typically busy summer vacation schedule.  Super-Y requires a participating club to roster a team for every age group.  Historically larger clubs, those that roster 5-6 teams per age group during the regular season, don't have as much of an issue meeting that requirement.  Though, from what I've seen, it's typically a challenge for every club for at least a couple of given age groups.  Given that VRSC doesn't have the team quantity depth at some of the older age groups, they've opted not to participate this year.  No biggie.

For VRSC kids who want to play on a team over the summer, LS is right down the road and gladly accepts players from the outside over the summer because even their 5-6 team per age group depth doesn't provide them with enough committed players over the summer.  Summer is summer and families travel and some want their kids to take a break.

Whether VRSC will participate in Super-Y/USL Y in the future is a mystery and will likely be determined by whether a competitive summer alternative emerges and if they feel confident they can roster enough players at each participating age group to make it a good experience for the kids that sign up.  Not the case at the moment, so they went the numerous camps route.

As a VRSC parent whose kid is playing Super-Y at LS this summer, I'm glad it's an option.[/quote]

Good points.  And what's nice is that on my LS kids team there are VRSCs kids playing and the kids accept them without hesitation.  Maybe some parents should take notes.[/quote]

That's been our experience, as well.  The mixed team has gelled surprisingly well (and quickly) to make for a very competitive team.  Many of these kids have moved between clubs.  Several have played with each other in the past, but don't currently.  The kids don't care nearly as much as most of the parents on here about which club is better "this season" and on "that age group," etc.  They just want players who show up, practice and play hard, and have fun along the way.[/quote]
