Why did all of the other northern Virginia clubs figure it out? Even Alexandria did.
Alexandria has 3 from 2012 but none from 2011 which makes sense. Maybe the clubs did submit the recommendations and either US Soccer didn’t take them for whatever reason.
It’s possible that clubs got busy during the pre-season and missed the email or deadline. No point arguing though - we will have to wait and see if they add anyone to 9/17 or they set up another session in the region next month (however unlikely this is) or these kids will have another opportunity for the Jan/ Feb session one
The fact other clubs did not recommend tells me it is a non event or free soccer camp at best. At least the ones who posted now showed their groups of “untouchables” so others in the supporting cast role can plan accordingly. DMV club soccer in the works 👏👏😃
lol, we call it Peacocking. We’re happy for the girls who the club nominated of course, but now the amount of coaching attention the girls are receiving is becoming even more disproportionate to the other players, yes my DD included. I don’t know how all teams deal with trying to keep a lid on favoritism, but on our team both the picked girls and the ‘pre-chosen 2013s & 2014s’ receive guest invites, extra training and extra coaching and counseling the other players don’t receive. And yes, kids do feel like they are supposed to play a ‘supporting role’ when clubs handle the attention poorly.
