Arlington ADP offers

[Anonymous]

Has anyone from U9 (2016) girls or boys received offers? Email went out saying initial offers would go out early this week.

Thanks!

People probably need to decline for others down the list to get offers if you haven't received one.

We have not received an offer. A much stronger teammate also has not received an offer. There were 124 2016 boys and my 7yr old said the coaches said “85-90 people will do something” so I interpreted that as 85 spots.

OP here - thank you, PP. This is helpful context. Maybe they haven't sent anything out just yet.

typically 8 teams at the youngest age group and 10 players per team so 80 kids

We just received an offer for our 2016 girl.

I received an offer for my 2016 boy at noon today.

We have not, 2016 girl.

Also didn’t receive an offer. 2016 girls. Am surprised, honestly. She looked decent compared to the overall group in my estimation, though it was hard to figure out how the process worked. There was less sorting/movement between the various fields than I’ve seen in other tryouts. Unless they perfectly placed everyone randomly at the beginning, it’s hard to see how they were sorting by field placement.

The standard for ADP is not very high. I coach a team this year that is currently undefeated and have kids that after a full Year of training still can’t properly kick a ball. Trust me I tried!!

Be patient, and drop a quick short email making your interest known and requesting a quick update on the status of your child placement?

I didn’t even know until I stumbled on this thread that one had to try out for ADP.

Some of us have zero interest in travel, so ADP is a good alternative. It looks like they are making improvements in the program for the upcoming year, with an associated price increase.

I agree it is a good alternative to travel for those not interested in it but I don't understand the tryouts since they seem to just pick everyone anyway as long as they can fill teams.
