[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would they have less draw than before for B/C teams?  Nothing has changed there, except perhaps a handful of ECNL players now coming down. I think the farther down the rung you go, the more local the players are and the less willing they are to travel. I don't see how this makes them magically decide to drive in traffic. McLean is not geographically isolated, but any alternative adds significant travel time that these families won't take on.[/quote]

VYS is right next door. [/quote]

Yep, and there is a hundred plus page thread on here about how good VYS is.[/quote]

Say what you will about VYS, they aren’t importing the “samba boyz” of SYC to prop themselves up. And last time I checked, the younger teams at VYS had a pretty good track record of beating Mclean. [/quote]

And that is the difference my friend. One can be competitive at the local level by developing your own talent. To excel or even survive at the level of a national league, you need to expand your talent pool. You imply that sourcing talent is a bad thing. It is not, it comes with the territory starting at the ECNL level. They are doing what they need to do to survive at this level.[/quote]

My comment about VYS being a viable option for Mclean families unhappy with the "samba boyz" merger was in response to a comment about B/C team kids leaving Mclean.  Someone said that wouldn't happen because people would have to drive too far to play with another club.  My point is that VYS is a nearby and viable option for those kids.  [/quote]
