Gotsoccer is nonsense. Youthsoccer rankings are much better and usually refelective of a team's ability. SYC may well have good youthsoccer rankings too.


The MLS Next teams aren't recorded in YouthSoccer rankings; however I checked and the girls are nowhere close to the stature of the boys.

Long story short:
SYC has dedicated its resources (financial and fields) to the boys program for MLS Next and placing players into McLean's ECNL teams. Having been at SYC for several years, this is quite obvious to see. For winter training months, they don't schedule the girls any field space; however, the boys (of all ages) will be on the fields on any given night. It's a cultural circumstance within the club. Their coaches are on these forums a lot, so you'll see some girls posts soon again on social media, but nothing with substance.

SYC hasn't put a female player into college in years. But even when EM was the TD of LMVSC, the focus was the boys there as well.


You can look at league affiliation and figure out which gender they care for. The top girls have to make another club’s team and the travel across the county for half of their practices

LB always finds ways to say nasty things about SYC. LMVS loses space to SYC and now they scared to be swept again when we meet.

If it's a consolation for you EM comes to some of my DS games and always says the same thing and some times nothing at all. LOL.

It is also convenient for EM because his games are at the same location, so no need to travel.


EM goes to your DS games, not our DD games. Yes, we know.

What staff do you expect to show up to a U19 CCL or EDP game besides the actual coach?

Why are you this starved for attention? Just enjoy your kids last season of travel soccer.
