[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They were great players at union (boys) and Brave (girls) that got dropped, not because they were benching, but mostly how the process was established. All behind doors, not a fair process in my view.[/quote]

+1.  Applies to my player.  Didn't think process or outcome was fair.  [/quote]

Applies to our player as well.  We aren't sticking around to support MYS, the club we've been with (for the most part) since our college-age player was U6. We didn't expect any special treatment, as we know for a fact some received.  We only wanted a fair tryout process and possibly a little loyalty.  MYS has not lifted a finger to advocate for its member players over outside players who are not any better.[/quote]

How can the tryout process be fair if there is loyalty being shown? [/quote]

Good point and a reason Union was not as good as it could have been. They showed loyalty to a fault.

Above U13, if a player isn't a starter, then their spot on a team is in jeopardy during tryout season.

I've personally seen Union coaches not pay attention to the boys trying out for two years in a row before we moved on to Arlington a year ago. And I mean had their backs to the all the boys and only turned around to the action on the field when they told everyone to take a break. They acted like the Union team was top of the table and no better players were available on the field trying out. It was a waste of time to even come out to Union tryouts.

When we tried out for Arlington, there were 3 coaches locked in to the action on the pitch. I was told after the fact that the Arlington coaches knew within 5 minutes who they were interested in, they engaged with the tryouts the whole time though. It was very professional in my opinion and why they are one of the best academies in the area and state.

There is a reason ECNL forced this merger on Union and it started with the mediocre teams that were the norm for Union.[/quote]
