[quote=Anonymous]IMHO there are a couple of things going on at BRYC at least on the girls side. At pre-ECNL (U12 and younger) there is no pipeline of talent coming in. They seem to have a handful of talent at these ages but mostly in the midfield and a big drop off in talent in the front and back line. They don't play in a league, so I've only seen them in a few tournaments and scrimmages but the play style is consistent and possession oriented out of the back. They seem to value technical skills as their teams are generally small technical girls.

Once these teams age into the ENCL league (U13) they seem behind in terms of physicality and overall competitiveness. Years ago, BRYC used to be a small destination club. Now with so many option or for whatever reason, they feel like just a small club. Why send your girl there if you can go to McLean or VDA or Arlington. If you're out west, you'll go to Loudoun or Metro. So at ECNL ages, the influx of talent is no longer coming in, which I believe is a function of dilution. Again, the play style seems consistent and generally, I believe they are probably too good for CCL but not good enough for ENCL. I also believe their academy style of running the club where there is a player pool also probably adds to the dilution of talent within BRYC.

With LB and MW leaving, it appears that BRYC is continuing to deteriorate into an even smaller club. I could see a BRYC - FCV merger if the logistics could work as I doubt someone at Robinson would want to go to practice in Loudoun and vice versa. A BRYC - VDA merger would make more sense to create a southern Fairfax, PW destination club.[/quote]
