If you are so confident that your kid is better than others and will make the team, why do you care about getting early looks? Whats the end goal here? Also, no one knows who the coaches are, especially if a rising u13. |
This! You should know by now that if your player is good coaches will happily take them. Early looks don't secure spots on teams. |
Recently, people on here are saying that their kids are getting early looks because they are an alliance member and that the coaches already pretty much know who they are going to take. Then you have other people on here saying alliance is a marketing gimmick and that these coaches will take any talented kid that shows up. I suspect the truth lays somewhere in between. My two cents -- email DB (the current U13 FVU coach) and ask if your kid can come to a couple practices of the current 2013 and give your DC's credentials. If your kid is worth looking at then he will be interested. I would not wait to just show up at tryouts and try to distinguish your kid from the rest. Any early looks is going to be beneficial -- that is the one advantage (and perhaps only advantage) that the alliance members get. If you are a McLean kid then DB most likely already knows your DC and will be more than happy to talk. If not a McLean player, then email him as soon as you're ready and ask to have your kid get looked at. Try not to get trapped in the "alliance" debate (gimmick vs. guarantee) -- know one here can say with 100% certainty. |
All good advice except for reaching out to DB. Reaching out to MV or CW makes the most sense. |
I disagree. DB is definitely the best person to reach out to. He knows the McLean players well so he can stack up your DC against what they would bring. CW is going to retire soon and I would pass on contacting MV. DB also most likely couldn’t care less about the alliance. He’s going to take the best players period. |
Ok, but just saying he is not the current U13 coach. |
|
will DB be with FVU next year?
|
Yes |
Will MV? |
Why wouldn’t someone contact MV? So unnecessary. |
I agree. It is unnecessary to contact him. |
Is that good for FVU? |
Better than MV for FVU. That’s for sure! |
Me thinks you have no idea how Union operates internally. DB doesn’t care about the alliance but spends half his time with Bryc? |
