Same. So annoying. Within 1-10 miles from my house: SYC, SYA, Burke, McLean, Vienna, Annnandale, FPYC, BRYC)... Alexandria, Gunston, LMVSC, Chantilly, Sterling..all within 15 miles!


Fairfax DA here we come. 13 club collaboration.


Club mergers might make sense for Fairfax County however I would think it would need to be broken up into regions. According to Google FXCounty has a population of 1.1 Million compared to Loudoun that has about 400k. My guess is why we have so many clubs in this area with 1-3 teams in each age group.

The idea in theory for DA out of these clubs would make sense.

It wouldn't be up to the coaches it would be up to the directors so that wouldn't be a go. The coaches would be only a select few that would get the opportunity and I'm sure they would be ok working together if able to coach in a higher level competition.


Bingo.

The coaches would be fine. Leadership of the clubs...Eh, maybe not so much. But then again, a lot has recently changed. And it wouldn't need to be 3 or more clubs. Just two, if they're the right clubs.

I didn't say that SYC gets a DA. That would be ridiculous, as was your reading comprehension.

SYC could very well be part of a group of clubs forming a DA. Not saying they WILL, but they could.

There absolutely is room in NOVA for another DA, especially in southern Fairfax County.

Alexandria/LMVSC/SYC partnership for DA would make sense. Contiguous geographic area with a ton of talent relatively close, probably with a little less interest in playing at Arlington.

Yes, coaches and players can ultimately go where they choose during try-outs. But let’s be frank, there is encouragement along the way. So what are we getting robbing Peter to pay Paul? We are getting the larger and consolidated Clubs laughing at us as we split our talent into 2 Clubs where we both will ultimately be weaker. As for the posts suggesting teams are coming over with Coaches, I really hope not for no other reason than it will serve to undermine both Clubs and ultimately weaken both Clubs. That is a very short sighted vision. Changes have been made which is fine. But both Clubs need to leave it alone now.


Why have two clubs in the first place? Why have different clubs at all? SCAA, SYC, LMVSC, ABGC, and BRYC merger!!!

Really hard to say what's good or bad for any group of kids. Families will have to make the call. Change is a constant.

P.S. LMVSC has turned down offers for mergers from other clubs looking to partner with them to form a DA. There's room for another DA in Fairfax County and it will come from a merger--but don't count on LMVSC being involved. SYC now looks like a solid candidate.

I wish more people who post here would be as open to admitting their state and level of inebriation when posting on this forum. That could explain quite a bit that we read here on a daily basis.
