Opportunity to see what the team looks like?

[Anonymous]

Is there an appropriate way to ask what a team looks like or train with those invited before accepting an offer? My kid is going to spend a great deal of time with these kids over the next year or more. How can I word this to the Club before we say yes (or no). Is this event a possibility before I ask? (Parent feeling unnevered about a 48 hour "deadline" for a 4k+ investment financially and an innumerable time investment)

Many will allow this. DS did. But be warned that the team you train with in the spring may look very different in the fall. Kids will leave and new ones take roster spots. The coach might even change. But it sure beats going in blind.

2012. So options including SYC, NVA, and maybe whatever Union is called now. I assume we are rolling offers and flying blind on who is with my kid other than rumors. I know this isn't unique but people are very much tight lipped this year

I assume this is for a 2012 Fairfax Union boys or girls? Does you kid not already know lots of the players at the tryouts? Are you trying to see who else is in the team? Do you have offers from other teams with an established group already?

You kid probably already knows which other players are getting the Union invite and if not will know soon if any of their friends or current teammates were also trying out. The kids talk. Who else ate you hoping will be on the team? Just ask those families.

Congrats to your kid. Which team does your kid want to play for? Go with that one maybe. I also assume your kid wasn’t wearing orange.

No. But another in northern va

no they won't let you see because all the other kids are C team players. If you find out now, you'll bail.
