[quote=Anonymous]BRYC parent. The club is very small compared to all the surrounding ECNL clubs. Great players but seem to get cherry picked every year for promises of glory from bigger clubs It’s frustrating but the coaches, especially U10-U16 are great (I don’t know the older age coaches) and they care about the players as a whole. Sure they want to win, but they are developing and growing and have a ton of playing time. It’s a family atmosphere, small and connected. Losing isn’t fun. Not going to lie. But for the boys, Arlington is a power house that will rival VDA and others. Boys did well against Vaunion. Girls had mixed results last weekend and had hard losses against CESA - another giant club.  And Arlington will also be very tough on them. I think they benefited from the recent mergers of a few clubs. These super clubs who are nothing more than all star teams pulling from two or more clubs will always have the advantage due to their size. BRYC will struggle until the young ages U12 and below move into ECNL. Bridge teams have cannibalized the club for the older players offering competitive play for a fraction of the price. And maybe a partnership could happen. Never know. But I hear there will be no more bridge teams starting at the younger ages so the feeder pools should stay full and good coaching can develop them. Now what to do for the older kids... leave them alone and let them play and develop. And hope these mega clubs and partnerships mismanage their players and a few leave to get the playing time and security they deserve.

To most of the negative posters, give theses young players some space to breath and compete before you write off an entire gender. Remember, the players know about these forums too and read them.  I feel like the constant negative/nastiness is no more than men with yardsticks and relying on little girl athletes for their own self esteem.

They are kids. They have value on and off the pitch.  Give them a chance to enjoy this part of their lives. Be a parent your kid thinks you are. [/quote]
