Almost 200 kids at McLean HS soccer tryout for 30 spots in Varsity and 30 spots in JV.

That's what DS told me on Monday evening. Wow, that's a lot, and more than 2 out of 3 kids will not make the team. I didn't realize how competitive it was until he told me. DS made the varsity team last year.

That's how every team tryout is at our middle school. That's what happens when a school is too big. Meanwhile, the schools they play against can barely put a team together because they are so small. That's what happens when you let the whole area go to one school without boundaries.

Where would they play? Most HSes in FCPS only have one football field, and that field has to accommodate both boys and girls JV and varsity lacrosse and soccer in the spring.

Kudos to McLean for making it into the Virginia championship game last season. Glad it has inspired so many boys to try and make the team.

Because that's not how things work. Everybody doesn't get to play just because they "want" to

And we wonder why VA soccer is not better...

??? Did you even read what the PP wrote? Not everything about youth soccer involves racing to sit at the end of a college bench.
