Since this started on Bonita Azzuri or whatever the name is now, to answer the original posters question, I agree with most that I wouldn't touch BYS until you see how it plays itself out. They had a lot of problems this past year and wanted a way out, so they sought out Azzuri which is a rec all-star program. I'd imagine most BYS players that are still left will not want to be a part of that and will seek out other options.
As far as what another poster said with coaches, they are somewhat correct. You do have to look at who is going to coach the team, but you also need to look at the stability of the club as well. There is something to say about a club that has a good infrastructure and well organized. My son plays for Fire, started with Optimist as a 7-year old, and loves Fire. After this weekend watching the president of the club run around filling up Gatorade, cleaning up after teams on fields before other teams arrive, and willing to talk to any parent no matter what club they were with was amazing. If I wasn't already with the club, I would change clubs just to be a part of that.
