[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The player pool is too small at younger ages to compete against boys teams at bigger clubs. [/quote]

McLean is a big club so why can't they compete in the younger male ages?[/quote]

McLean is a “big club” only in terms of results. They are a small-medium club in terms of size for the area. The house program (where the players come from) is slightly smaller than neighboring Vienna. It is WAY smaller than Arlington, Loudoun, Springfield, PWSI, SAC, MSI and many other area clubs, most of which McLean traditionally outperforms. [/quote]

That makes sense and puts it in perspective.  So do parents of the McLean younger boys travel teams just have to deal with terrible losing records due to the limited player pool?  They must not be able to recruit Academy/ECNL talent cause their boys teams don't seem to get better as they get older.  Some of that you gotta blame on the coaches/program and not having any clue as what they're doing for the boys program as it seems to work for the girls program.

When you say "Mclean traditionally outperforms" was that in the 1980's? Cause all the clubs you listed are out performing McLean nowadays.[/quote]

Definitely getting outperformed on the boys side by all listed clubs at most ages. [/quote]

And BRYC has the same issue with respect to all listed clubs. [/quote]
