[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we all know from hearing from parents that BRYC sells the dream. Then treats the families like garbage when the see better teams at the same age group. I feel for the pre ECNL 07 families come this spring. The recruiting has begun this winter especially as they move in to 11v11 full field. Its a shame most of these families have been with BRYC since u9 and being replaced by a whole new batch of kids that other clubs have been developing.[/quote]

As previously asked, how do you know that they are recruiting at 07?  Did you speak to the coach?  Did parents of those being recruited reach out to you?  [/quote]

Not from the DC area, so I have no dog in this fight.

That said, my daughter is a 2007 pre-ECNL player at a very strong club in the northeast.  Our team has kids from other clubs coming in to practice with the team already.  This will continue throughout the spring.  In a competitive club, this is extremely common.  Our club pulls ECNL players from the club's various regions and there are 12 total 2007 girls teams just within the club--that doesn't include outside players who will try out.  If two players are equal, you may see loyalty to the player that has been with the club, but if a kid from outside is better, they will get the spot.  That's how it is supposed to be.[/quote]

But are your club coaches going out recruiting or just the natural process of players giving a stronger club a try and see if they are good enough.  That is perfectly fine but BRYC is known for going out of their way with coaches actively trying to bring others from outside.[/quote]

I'm honestly not sure.  But I know that our club's reputation drives strong interest from players outside of the club each year.  I don't think the coaches are at games chatting up the parents of an opposing player on the sideline, but I guess you never know.  I also think that we have far fewer options for DA/ECNL in New England than there are in the DC area (3 GDA and 4 ECNL clubs across all 6 new england states--I'm being specific to the girls' side of things here).  That means there are just more kids competing for fewer spots those specific teams.[/quote]
