SYC is by far the best 2010B team in the area.
I think this is definitely correct. I'm discounting Bethesda because three of their 2010s are actually 2009s.
But . . . you need to take into consideration the way SYC plays, to know whether it's the best choice for your son. This season, I've seen them play three times. SYC has the best athletes and is the most physical team in the area, outside of DC United, Loudoun (? I can't remember), and maybe Villareal. Their players are excellent, for the most part. They are skilled, aggressive, and fast. they press high man to man and win a lot of battles. Each time they were the dominant team, for sure.
But . . . most of the goals I saw came from corners and crosses. Although they'll occasionally reset through the keeper, but for the most part they play long goal kicks, long diagonal passes to isolate their wings, or individual runs up the sideline. There isn't a lot of play through the middle. It is a very direct style that relies on the superiority of their kids. It works well for them, but a lot of players would get lost in the shuffle.
You know what? I'd like to retract this one. In the interest of fairness and not wanting to have my anonymous self be wrong, I checked out parts of a few of the SYC 2010 youtube videos, and didn't see this as much. Definite attempts at build-ups, switches, etc. All of the matches I had seen previously were from the first month of the season and it looks like maybe the style was a function of it being so early.
NP, I wanted to add that we’ve played their younger teams a few times and they are trying to play down the middle. However, they cannot maintain possession for very long and their goals are still mostly from long goal kicks, fast breaks, etc., and frankly good defending. They will use their athleticism to steal the ball.
It’s a bit hard to gauge the technical skill level of the teams bc they don’t possess the ball for very long. They seem very reliant on a few (maybe 3 kids) who are either fast (striker) or full backs and/or defensive mids who can pounce on the ball.
When the game is close or competitive, they forgo playing possession and revert back to kickball.

2010 is still considered 'little kid' soccer by most (Jeff Cup still lumps them with u9 weekend). So hopefully the lads who hit puberty first learn how to play the game before everyone becomes aggressive, strong and fast.

That is exactly how men's college soccer plays.

They got the best defensive core in the area, specially the 2 CB.

How long do you have after you get an offer to decide if you will take it or not?
