[quote=soccerNOVA][quote=DMVParent][quote=joy4]Pls specific about Boys or Girls.
There is big difference.

Anyway, for BOYS!!!, VYS does not stand out in EDP play, and with some previous VYS players on BYRC ECNL teams already, I do believe VYS replacing BRYC for ECNL is getting lower performance, if most BRYC BOYS players moving to NVU.

The initial concept is to consolidate, but with what is happening for BOYS side, it basically introduced a new NVU club into Nothern Virgina boys' landscape. Good or bad, time will tell.
I feel it is going to be a bad thing, well, I only care about my boy, to make things easy he may go alone with NVU. sadly, no option is better than another.[/quote]

Is NVUFC actually starting boys teams for regular season play or is that still just a rumor?[/quote]

The initial materials distributed at BRYC and VYS said that the best players will make Brave.  If you are making the assumption that BRYC is better than VYS on the boys side and therefore all the BRYC kids will be upset and leave for NVU or elsewhere, then of course Brave teams will suffer.  VYS alone isn't going to be big enough or good enough to build competitive ECNL teams.  That's especially true on the boys side.

In my opinion, those are bad assumptions.  What makes you think that BRYC families would leave a Fairfax ECNL team that practices on local fields for unproven NVU program that has never even fielded teams before?  Isn't BRYC is badly in need of some organization and professionalism?  I haven't heard anyone deny that, and if VYS can bring that then its a huge plus even if nothing else changes.

My guess for the boys is that VYS beings an influx of talent at younger age groups, but has a little less to offer at older age groups.  On average maybe 50-70% of Brave rosters next year will be current BRYC kids.  Maybe 25% will come from VYS and the remaining amount will join from elsewhere in Fairfax county.  Those kids could be good too and be opting for Brave as opposed to driving further to other established ECNL clubs.

Union and VDA are both partnerships.  I think that's what it takes to succeed in ECNL if you are not as big as Loudoun or Arlington.  If the launch is organized, then I think top BRYC boys stay and you will be surprised how good these Brave teams are.

Whether or not the 27th best player on a 30 person roster sticks around for ECNL regional league is a different question.  Regional league is probably the right competition for those kids though, and still should be a better option than NVU.  I know some people are hyping up NVU, but I just don't see it at all.  Good luck with that.     [/quote]
