OCYS Consolidated Thread

[Unregistered]

Sad that Mega Club OCYS still can't produce a state championship. Rival clubs in OC back yard produced two in their first year. OC U17-18 DA team was a disaster last year and ECNL had a -146 goal differential - Now that's embarrassing. That news has traveled the Country.

-146 WOW

You just can't get over that can you, well we did made improvements and moved on. So sorry OC lives in your head so much you should try and move on that's old news

ECNL used to be elite. Now ECNL is looked upon as a money grab by the league. Many of the clubs are below level. Believe it or NOT ECNL is no longer the top league.

Signed, mom who's daughter isn't wanted at either club and secretly is writing ATL clubs to be a DP.

Anyone who demerits Ecnl is clearly just ignorant. It got my daughter into college. Save the stupidity unless you are just out to try and cause trouble. Can kids get into college other ways? Sure absolutely. Does Ecnlnprovide the best exposure? Yes for us. I think for those who do not play Ecnl they will always try to demerit it either because they couldn't make the cut or some other stupid reason

Iagree. ECNL cannot be demerited.
But OCYS is not an ELITE club. It does not maintain or follow US Club soccers curriculum or standards. It only uses its name to charge high fees and delivers what?

Wonder how it qualifies to be part of that League?

we've been over it before, they market players, they don't develop. if they could actually develop players you'd see it in the infrastructure, from bottom to the top, and it just doesn't exist.

Can't speak to the girls side. They definitely have done well in development on the boys side.

Your kid might be getting better but it does not mean as the whole the others are. We play on Purple, think all the coaches on Purple teams are highly qualified and pretty good. But 2 practices a week and playing in some crappy league (inclusive of FPL) is not going to cut it. We spend a lot of our own time and money practicing on our own and finding ways to get extra training in outside his practices. If my kid is getting better its 90% him and me and 10% his coach. I would venture to say its they same for most players (male or female).

That is the way it is in anything you do in life. There are people that are just naturally gifted, but the majority of people have to put in the extra work. If you think that most pro or high level college players get by on just natural ability you are mistaken. They go out on their own a lot and work on a lot of little things. Do you think that they got great by just practicing 4-5 hours a week and some games on the weekend? Its what they do when nobody else is around and the mentality to sacrifice their free time that makes them better than the majority. Hope that your child continues this mentality and work ethic. It should open some doors for him later on down the road.

OC may not care about this though, how many see players missing practices and still playing (and yes there are just as good of players attending not playing as much) I believe they should have zero practices and let the kids get their training elsewhere and charge a little less. Then OCYS could come on here and say the players are just using us in stead of of us coming on here doing that to them. Would that make you feel better?

To each his own. We are on a Purple team as well, and he's gotten more out of his coach (a new one) this year than in any year prior. Great coaching, not standing for excuses and making players accountable.

No offense, but calling FPL a crappy league is simply either wrong or ignorant.

And the team seems to be doing pretty darned well with 2 practices a week, and hopefully all of the players are doing extra on their own if they want to improve. As with any player or league.

They would probably agree with me, but I'm speaking as one of and for many many satisfied parents. Readily recognizing that there are those that are unsatisfied as well. As I said, to each their own.

FSU, for the most part, played a weak non-conference schedule this year. Unlike another ACC opponent like #6 UNC who Florida State plays on the road in a little over a week. We will then see how much games against Stetson, Minn., and St Johns sharpened FSU's game this year.

FSU is number one under TD new composite ranking of the top 5 polls.
