Most clubs probably have a similar philosophy, “not caring” , but how do you turn that around at u15,u16? What do you change about a team that allows them to have such a significant change of results? Is it player driven or coaching driven? At u15, do they say something significantly different than at u14 that turns these girls on to a different play mode. “Now it’s time to win!”? and that alone works?? or is it new players or formations? The dramatic scores beg many questions for that age group. Doesnt the playing philosophy stay the same? I’d like to all the girls develop and have success, just a huge difference from the older age groups.


No, it means that the emphasis of training is on playing the right way and staying disciplined to the style being coached. It also means kids might be played out of their current natural positions to develop them in other ways. At U13-U14 the game and tactics are still being taught. At U15 the emphasis starts to move towards preparing to compete.

BRYC also recruits heavily from other clubs for the older age groups, at least on the boys side. This is a common practice for quite a few clubs, but this is something for the parents to keep in mind, since the influx of new players and coaches (who bring their own players) may move many of the existing players to lower level teams.

It wasn’t that long ago that BRYC had U14 and younger teams playing for regional and national titles so it would seem that their new policy is just an excuse for their recent performance in the younger age groups


The message was always consistent, they just had good teams at that time. The u15-17 are 7-3-2 after 3 games, The u13 are 2-1-0 u14 are 0-3-0, only team with a losing record is u14.

Seems pretty typical across the board, most clubs have one team that does not do well

Is u14 BRYC using the same game plan as last year? What’s going on with that group. Were they affected by DA attrition? Are the scores not indicative of the gameplay?

2 games in one weekend, driving from Richmond for 2 games, also having to play the hardest game of year on Saturday.

Seems like these 2 clubs are the strongest In VA.


It is highly debatable whether these two clubs are the strongest among Virginia ECNL teams, but here are the results:

U13
BRYC vs. McLean 5-0

U14
TBD

U15
BRYC vs. McLean 4-2

U16
BRYC vs. McLean 2-0

U17
BRYC vs. McLean 3-6


U19
BRYC vs. Mclean
0-3


It is not debatable. Looks pretty clear


Actually, I would say it's too early to call after one set of games. Last year, BRYC got beat pretty hard by RU across the board, but then when they played them again, they won games they had lost by 2-3 goals. It's also age group dependent as well.


+1. Different clubs are stronger in different age groups and there's a lot of games to play. U13 VDA team beat BRYC 3-0 and McLean 7-0, for example. U14 BRYC lost all 3 of their games, two by big scores. Richmonad United is in the first place at U13 after beating BRYC 3-0 and McLean lost 3 out 4 games in that age group.

The U16 score is not correct. BRYC beat Richmond. They are 3-0 with 9 goals scored and only 1 against.
