His by no means a top team player but would like the multiple trainings a week and better competition that any travel will offer vs ADP even the lower level teams. Arlington just seems like there are very limited if any spots unless your top team material. Thanks for the advice on the DCSC offer I’ll see what they say. Any other travel clubs in the area that should be considered?

Has anyone from the Arlington cattle call for 2014B received a pre-academy offer yet?

2011G offers are out for current players.

What about 2013G — are offers out yet for any teams?

It sounds like the remaining pre-academy and academy offers went out today. At this point, If you didn’t receive an offer then you’ll have to hope that someone who did rejects it. Accept deadline probably Thursday, though someone correct me if I’m wrong. ☹️

Is this for 2013G?

What about 2010 Boys on Lower Teams?

Just sharing that my son is a returning player on a 2015B middle-level team and we don’t have our offer yet

We had received a form email last week stating that we would receive information on status by yesterday but didn’t receive an email.

I know of some of the younger age groups on the boys side who did and didn’t get offers. I don’t have info specifically on 2013G, but based on what I know for boys and our past experience both in this club and others, what I gather is:

- 1st set of offers went to existing top team players. This occurred a few weeks ago, and included “offers” where top team kids moved down.
- 2nd set of offers went out yesterday. This set appears to be the remaining spots on each age’s top team, after evaluating outside players from tryouts against existing non-top team players who may move up
- It is common for clubs to lock down their top 1-2 teams (for Arlington looks like just the top team) first before working down from there. It’s also common for offers to last 48 hours.
- therefore, if you’re still holding out for a top team spot, most likely the *earliest* you hear back is late on Thursday - assuming they are not giving out extensions, which I hope they’re not due to how late Arlington’s tryouts were.
- only after that will they start rolling out offers for non-top team spots. An earlier mass email said everyone will hear by May 22 (I think) but I’m not confident that date will stick.

We are reasonably confident in our assumptions and are planning accordingly based on them, but it’s the internet so take it with a grain of salt.

Boys is out too. Teams are all full for 2010 and 2009. Not sure why they did tryouts.

Are you saying boys invites are out for all teams and years? Or just the top teams?

Do you mean all offers for all levels for those two years went to existing Arlington players?

Are you the same parent posting everywhere about 2013g? You are stressing me out. These girls are 10; let's have some perspective. I hope your dd does not end up on my dd's Arlington team. You are too intense.
