Can anyone explain what this means:

We will have 2 positional alternates listed per team and 1 goalie alternate. Once they are posted you will have 24 hours to reserve your spot.

It means if someone does not accept their spot at the position your kid plays, the alternate gets an offer. That is typically how alternates work.

So if they take 5 attack, they offer 5 kids, but have 2 on stand up?

Wouldn't every kid not offered right away be in theory an alternate?

No. It means you just missed the cut and were ranked #6 or #7. So if #4 declines, they send an offer to #6 and so on.

I may be wrong, but I think that means there will be a full team and 2 field players plus a goalie on stand by - alternates. If for some reason one of the team members is unable to attend a tournament, an alternate would be called up.

From last year's experience, an alternate is one that just missed the cut and only make's the team if another player declines.

If player A declines and the 1st alternate declines, then do they just not fill the spot? Of course not, they go down the line of every kid that tried out, so again, i don't get the point unless you want to make someone feel good about "almost making the team".

BTW, how close will they use the positions. Are they going to take 6 defenders or will they take 2 defenders and 4 middies to fill spots.

Lots of kids had middie/attack or middie/defender

Maybe they practice with the team. Or have on standby and can give direction how often a spot frees up for a tournament. You are working way too hard at this. It's a 7th grade secondary club team.

I'm surprised how much attention Maryland Select is getting. This has not been the case in the past. If you look at previous rosters, it's mostly been B club players with some A level players sprinkled in. Now it looks like it's pulling from the top clubs in the area.

Agreed, I thought it would be good alternative to get stick in hand and enjoy extra games, no idea it would have so many kids at tryouts. Maybe 2030 parents just insane.

Problem is they also play in B level tournaments, so while the practices might be worthwhile, the tourney competition is below average - and very few college coaches will be at the tournaments for the older girls.

Could have something to do with Good Counsel's recent success.

This could play a part for some people to try to get on the GC radar early.

Very few girls who actually get playing time at GC play on Maryland Select - most are from A level clubs and don't need this.

Makes sense that offers should be rolling out now. Perhaps final roster gets published end of the week.
