Local Sporting Director: Jamil Faryadi Brought over from McLean. |
I was going to say that fees were that expenvise until I noticed they were just for the spring season. Are they even able to form teams based on who attended the camp? Also doesn't include league fees. That's going back 15 years to when everything was paid separately. I guess it's just for the training.
The 2024 Spring Season Registration Fee are: U6 - U8 (Pulcini) $615.00 U9-U12 teams $1140.00 U13-U16 teams $1280.00 Does NOT include: League fee Tournament fees Mandatory AC Milan Academy Kit |
were NOT that |
Interesting, when did he leave McLean. |
Did anyone attend the open tryouts February 3 this past weekend? |
There is also a Super Y tryout on the 10th and 17th. They are going all out like they are an established club. Will be interesting to see how the tryout and team formation shapes up |
Not sure how many kids they will attract for a Spring season. Most players have already committed through the end of Spring with their current clubs. Tryouts for next fall will be better attended, I would imagine |
yes, it was pretty well attended. They are testing the waters in the spring and then next fall will be the real thing. |
How was the Super Y tryout attendance? |
What league will they play in?
Where will they practice? |
No coaches listed? Those are pretty high fees for a completely unknown program with no information on the coaching staff, where they will practice, etc. They are also selling camps without locations ("home field" in Fairfax...if they had the permit, they would list the field, meaning they are scrounging around trying to rent fields). |
There is no way they can put any teams together when almost every decent player is committed to a club team for spring already. |
Spring will be hard. Super y might have a decent chance since it is independent of clubs.
From what I gathered, practices will be in the Herndon, Sterling area. Most practices will be at KAA in Herndon (where they are holding tryouts). |
You must be their PR person, LOL. If the tryout was well-attended, they would have posted photos on social media. |
From what is publicly available, Coaches are Davide Battistini (direct from AC Milan and Jamil Faryadi (Long-time coach at McLean). The website says five coaches. |
