[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if your kid is doing well on an A-team, what is there to complain about? Which teams are losing all the players, A-teams, B-teams, or all the teams?[/quote]

I am not sure who is spreading rumors of VYS losing players.  If anything, we are seeing the opposite - players coming back after sampling what other clubs have to offer.[/quote]

They're not rumors.  Our experience with VYS has been [b]abysmally bad[/b].  But, I'm coming at it from a completely different perspective.  Our daughter tried out last year and made the B-level team.  We expected her skills to improve over the course of the year, but they regressed. In fact, the team did not win a SINGLE game after October.  Not one. The players are dispirited, lethargic, and have less soccer intelligence than they started the year with.

When tryouts came around this year, our daughter belonged on a team below where she was this year.  Oh no, VYS promoted her to the top team.  I PROMISE you she is not ready for that level of competition.  I know for a fact that 8 of 11 girls on our team are leaving VYS this coming year.  We are too.

VYS has NO IDEA what it's doing.  They've experienced a substantial talent player and employee talent drain over each of the last 3 years and it only appears to be getting worse.  [/quote]

As opposed to abysmally good?

Also difficult to see how kids can come away with less soccer intelligence than they had going in, unless they're just not that good.  My kids always seemed to have sharper instincts the more they played regardless of the quality of the coaching.

VYS has had its problems, certainly.  But if the club has experienced a player drain, much of what I've seen is panicked parents thinking their kids are better than they are and using club problems as an excuse.   Some "talent" has left, certainly, as has always been the case.  But a lot more of the departures have been average players who've bought into the idea that the grass is always greener.  We'll see.    [/quote]

I would like to know please if this is in reference to HOUSE or TRAVEL, which age groups, which gender, and if TRAVEL, which league?
