Mission Statement
At BRYC Elite Academy we are committed to produce players who demonstrate advanced technical skills, those who value ball retention and can perform at an aesthetically pleasing level, and players who are able to operate effectively in multiple systems of play and with a greater cerebral appreciation of the game. In order for our club to best facilitate this commitment to our membership, we have defined a systematic program for teaching specific training ground themes at the most appropriate stages of players’ physical, psychosocial and coordinative development. We have established development pods within our club structure, (Technical, Formation & Competition), which mirror the standard age bands of most progressive education systems currently in place in the USA – Elementary, Middle & High School. Our age grouping allows us to successfully implement a teaching curriculum that best fits the development stages of youth soccer players and replicates what standard US education programs follow in the general education of students in America. Our emphasis at all stages of player development is to stress individual player improvement/growth, and to protect against the tendency for players, parents and coaches to focus on the success of independent teams within our club.
About This Cause
BRYC Elite Academy is a sport operating under the umbrella of the Braddock Road Youth Club (BRYC) which has had a rich history in the community since 1966. With growing numbers in the area, BRYC was created to ensure everyone got a chance to get involved in group sport activities. Starting with the first game in 1966, BRYC has brought group sports to an estimated 175,000 children. Every thing we do, our goal is to create and foster a positive environment for the children to grow and learn as indiviuals and as a team. BRYC continues to be a part of the community and bring parents and children together in sport. We strive towards being the best sports program in the area and take pride in our work with children. In 2006, we broke ground on Wakefield Park. BRYC was proud to lead the effort in forming a partnership with the Fairfax Women’s Soccer Association and the Northern Virginia Soccer League, and we put together a successful proposal for funding this new turf field. We partner with two local high schools to bring 4 more turf fields online in 2012 and 2013, respectively. BRYC Elite Academy is the Travel Soccer organization of the youth club. We have a rich history of developing elite players and teams including a current member of the MNT (Clarence Goodson) and 7 Virginia Hall of Fame players (Meghan McCarthy, Wendy Gabauer, Cindi Harkes, Amanda Cromwell, Mia Hamm, Jillian Ellis, and Julie Shackford) and 80+ State Champions, 40+ Regional Champions, and 5 National Champions. The most recent being our Girls 95 Elite, coached by Larry Best, winners of the 2012 U16 Girls National Championship, and our Boys 99 Elite, coached by Brian Welsh, winners of the 2017 U18 Boys National Championship. BRYC Elite Academy is governed by its Executive Committee (EXCOM), Executive Directors, and two Directors of Coaching. The EXCOM oversees the financial and administrative functions of the club while the DOCs set the player development direction and oversees the management and professional development of the coaching staff.
