[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYS Juniors program a horrible idea?  Give me a break.  That program produces kids who are light years ahead of their peers by age 9. They're doing something right and I've seen it with my own eyes because my kid spent those years at VYS. Kids  from MYS with similar athleticism as him were technically superior.[/quote]

And it drives talented players away from the sport.

McLean has technically superior kids at that age because they attract a lot of good players and, almost in spite of themselves, have some good coaches. They'd be technically superior even if MYS would let them play the occasional game instead of turning everything into rote training drills for 7-year-olds.[/quote]

no way the OP has had their child go through McLean Jrs.  Anyone who has, and anyone who has talked to other parents as they went through it, they all know it is simply trying to survive that program for a year in order to get into the U9 travel program. by spring, kids have figured out their are no games, and many want to quit.  parents don't speak up because you will get branded and it could impact the U9 team selection process. It is a great idea, but executed poorly.  at u8 there needs to be fun too and kids wants to play on teams against strangers, not scrimmages with pinnies against the same kids over and over.  mclean won't let the kids play on rec teams at the same time as Jrs.
