Yes SYC 'partnered' with Pablo so they can use his name and title but what has this done for the players?

SYC promote Pablo's R.A.M.P and in return Pablo will make a guest appearance on the field.

Yes just opened the center led by DCU’s Pablo Amaya. Certainly plenty going on in the winter at SYC

Yes, that is because SYC does not have a club program. Futsal is really big at ASA.

We’ve seen SYC kids on some of the most competitive club-neutral futsal teams just this past winter.

Alexandria is better run and organized, SYC has better players.


Winning off the field!

I see SYC playing Futsal all of the time. Yes it's with your own team but much more affordable then paying $700 for a program. They also train outdoors so it's not like they just stop during the winter and do nothing.

You should probably watch their practices and games to see if it’s a good fit for your kid. They’re quite different in those respects.

SYC leadership lacks leadership skills. There is lack of communication from leadership.

Yep. but at least its an option, and I think it's encouraged by the club.

Any positive or negative experiences? number of tournaments/events, frequency of practices etc...
Alexandria has futsal program over winter, organizes international trips, affiliated with DCU in a P2P pathway 2 pro program. I don't believe SYC has a futsal or soccer program over winter, but I might be wrong.
Also, the Alexandria website seems more complete, easier to navigate through, the website is solely focused on soccer. In the SYC website it's hard to find certain information, the website is a mix with softball and basketball.
Thanks
