Who has the most successful teams?

SYC 2005 boys beat LMVSC 2005 Boys at the ASIST tournament this weekend.

Is the SYC coach Este's brother? If not, don't see how he keeps his job...

Fair point. But at least this weekend, he sure looked like the better coach.

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.

Because they plan to fire more.

Is any of this good for the kids? Take a step back and think about it. The SYC and LMVSC communities are intertwined in many ways. 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.
