It’s not the Dewey decimal system. Simply Google search

Really? I didn’t know that. (Sarcasm). Try reading between the lines asswipe.

Yet you dont share the name of the school.... you’re full of feces

NP here. What are you talking about? Chantilly HS is holding tryouts all this week. First cuts were made today.

Think varsity is finalized. JV may be continuing through end of week.

I think girls are done (at least Herndon HS and South Lakes). Might also depend on size of school and interest. South Lakes has 80+ Boys trying out and they’re continuing try outs today and tomorrow. First cuts were made yesterday.

Varsity was probably mostly finalised before tryouts even started.

How many players to make up a roster?

Correct. My experience with high school coaches is that they always lean to returning guys even if their level has stayed flat while others improved. Kids develop in the 2-3 years but first impressions are often what holds.

Okay, but every year, a certain number of varsity spots open up as seniors graduate and other players leave for other reasons (injury, to focus on club/recruiting, other interests, etc.). Those spots have to be filled by former JV players or new players coming in (mostly freshmen). Why would a coach not select a JV player who has developed/improved to fill one of these spots? I can see some positions not having capacity (e.g., goalkeeper) but for field players, there would typically be opportunities to move up. Assuming your kid truly has improved, why would you assume he doesn't have a chance simply b/c he was a JV player prior? I do think fitness and speed are really important to most HS coaches, so if I'm a player who wants to make varsity my sophomore or junior year, why not show up at tryouts in the best shape of your life and then dazzle the coach with your improved soccer skills once he sees how fit you are? A lot of HS coaches are also club coaches. They're not always the old-school driver's ed/gym teacher who knows nothing about soccer.

Sure... I was just saying that the coach probably already knows about most of the players from previous years on Varsity or JV or from area club teams. He/She has opinions and impressions going into the tryouts.

Why are you so hostile? Did I state something incredible or upsetting? Fairfax High School. They ended up making first (and final) cuts tonight.
