Anyone attend U13 SYC session last night? We missed due to a conflict. Any new info?
We're there still a lot of new kids?

17-18 like every other club that does 11 V 11. The roster was smaller because the girls left last year and they didn’t have the talent to backfill. I wouldn’t get too excited.


No talent to fill? Yet they still beat NVA, who had a 20 player roster. If anything, having 14 girls means more touches, more minutes, and more actual development for each player. Kudos to SYC for not just filling spots for numbers’ sake and instead prioritizing the girls growth and development.
Yea. Not knocking the roster size but rather explaining why the 2014s had a smaller team. NVA isn’t the gold standard so I’m not even sure why you would use them as any type of example
yet NVA is still ahead of them in GA and rankings. SYC plays kickball to the one elite player on the team. Majority of NVA players would displace SYC players.
This is a 2014 thread. Why are you talking about 2013s. Go to that thread.


Ok, How about SYC 2014 VS LS 2014? Let’s go!


This is cute. There’s no contest. Loudoun.
Not sure how I’m letting myself get baited into this dumb convo but they tied last time they played.
the ranking system is generally pretty accurate within some tolerance. Even at young ages. Loudoun 1st VA 51st in usa SYC 3rd VS 78 in usa.


Coach B has been purposely playing against lower skill leveled u13 teams all year. When they play appropriate leveled teams they do not out pro-form 6-0 anymore. I can't help but wonder why. SYC doesn't do this. Loudoun also plays down 2014 NVA girls to pad certain games/tournaments while SYC does not. They are not the same and you're obsessive tracking of stats that don't actually matter won't change that.


What a bunch of lies and BS. Nice try

SYC also plays bad teams a year up to pad stats and sell the dream. Hence neither club has anything to show for it in the high school ages where winning and losing actually matters.


I'm outside the DMV currently but my daughter will occasionally play SYC/other top DMV teams and they sound like the carbon copy of a couple nearby clubs. Fascinating how it's the same all over at this age group.
People love to win. It is a universal standard. Each person who speaks to the ratings, especially for 10/11 year olds is proof that people love to win. This is no unique to DMV for sure.

They won their 3 games at the GA showcase and won the USL-Y championship (without NVA kids). Isn't that good competition?


Won at the GA showcase in the bottom bracket? And let’s be honest - USL-Y isn’t there yet as far as a competitive tournament as much as they truly want it to be

Ha. Anyways, I guess we will see when they play in the top bracket of Jeff Cup. SYC is seeded a tier lower. Both could play each other at ASIST as well. Assuming Loudoun team stays together when they go NVA, there will be a lot of chances to play each other.

I’d agree with this. The 2014s also had a small roster for 11v11 play. I’ve never seen that before. I bet they might bloat the roster to 16/17, but also have 2 dedicated goalies.

I was shocked that there were 6 or so goalies trying out.


Are all those keepers going to be U13 next year?

going to depend on the late quarter 2013s. But LS is the standard right now for 14s
The standard of what? There talented kids in that team but their style of play is awful. They are the standard of loudoun as standard if that’s what you mean.
