This is helpful. PP. Thanks. Curious what you are doing this year if you care to share, as I recall at tryouts we were told that all kids in juniors would be offered a spot on 1 of the mclean travel teams. We opted out of Juniors last year for our 1st, and based on the above, it does not sound like it would be a good fit for 2nd either next year.

MYS is 100% pay to play. They switched. If u do Juniors, you are guaranteed to get to pay the next year for travel. They take everyone and it actually hurts our club.

Can't be true

I think that the last two years they have taken absolutely everyone in the young ages. They obviously don't take everyone for ECNL --and kids come from all over to try out --but it seems that for the younger teams they don't have the numbers. I expect that, to some degree, that this is true in most clubs except a place like Arlington where the pool is enormous.

The rising ECNL team is coached by Haytham … he'll last about 1-2 years more before he gets the hook . . .


Go to BRYC if you want to get away from those girls coaches. Mclean is a turd swirling

And BRYC isn’t?

BRYC is on a downward trajectory. Aside from a couple of oldest age groups, their teams are weak and getting weaker. The writing is on the wall.
