[quote=Anonymous]Yes, the fact is that VYS is a club that contains the extremes of the nationally competitive upper-age girls squads and the lower-level NCSL teams on the boys side that literally may have the worst records in the entire age-group division. The red teams on the boys and girls sides for the most part lose most of their games in NPL play. A couple of points:
1. The basic U9-U12 approach is to spread the playing time around, to constantly shift players around the field to provide massive amounts of cross-position experience, to have every member of the team play goalkeeper for one or two games per season, and to play passing-oriented soccer (I won't call it "possession-oriented"). All of that contributes to losses in league and tournament play, but it does help the kids develop a broad base of skills.
2. I know of many players who left VYS with the rising U13 tryout cycle after getting what they could out of their early-age VYS travel experience. So VYS can be a springboard.
3. Parents looking for a "travel lite" experience should give VYS black, white, and silver (if there is one) teams some consideration at any age group. The main thing is that these teams practice twice a week (not thrice) and to tell you the truth you can skip practices if you really need to. It's a low-pressure environment with certain advantages if you don't mind playing in mid- or lower-tier divisions.[/quote]
