If you get an offer at this point it'll be from bottom team trying to backfill academy spots kids dropped from. Don't take it personally if you don't make a u-9 team. There are only 2-3 open spots out of 4 or 5 teams on the girl's side. |

Yeah it seemed like teams were formed already. Tough to crack |

| Way late here, but suddenly my kid has discovered her friends are all going to travel next year (they are U8) and now she wants to try out. Is Loudoun still looking at players? Where do younger teams practice? |

Most teams are likely full. Id send a note to the appropriate age group director listed on the website and explain your situation. They may or may not be able to accommodate an evaluation but they certainly will not be able to go out of their way to slot her with her friends. |

This is the correct advice. As for where they practice - it’s TBD. Could be at Loudoun Soccer park or it could be any of a number of other fields. Hanson Park and Bolen Park, are the more commonly used locations beyond the Soccer Park, but Loudoun is a large club with access to a lot of fields across the county. That being said they normally try to keep it somewhat centralized to limit the extreme commute to practice. |

If she is really a rising u8 and not u9, there is no u8 travel team as they officially start at u9. There is the u8 academy, which is a precursor to travel and serves as a transition from Rec to Travel. And LS has historically taken the top u8 Academy kids and fielded A single travel team that plays in a lower u9 division (my kids did this in the past. However, historically that has primarily been in the Spring only, after a Fall in the Academy, but it appears they may have changed to a full year approach for the Academy team (see website: https://www.loudounsoccer.com/Default.aspx?tabid=2741071 ) In looking at that website, they have a POC for all Academy related questions at the bottom of the page which seems like a good starting point - especially since no girls coach is listed. |

Quick reference and explanation... after 4 travel tryouts at Loudoun....
U11 - Received call the next day at lunch time (was a definite yes for that team, not a maybe for a higher and not a no) U12 - Received call almost a week later, was on a short list to move up but the spots ended up not opening up so stayed U13 - Received a call the next day at 10pm, was a definite yes for the higher team U14 - Received a call the next morning, a definite yes for the same team For U12 definitely on a possible list to move up if spots open and that was why the call took so long to happen. Hope this helps! |

BS! I know several players on both my son and daughter's teams that had outside players accept top team (A and B) spots! It happens all the time. LS needs the talent since they can't develop it themselves outside of the U-little Academy. |

Not that don't ID ahead of time. ROFL picking up multiple random kids they've not seen already during tryouts? What horrible fanfiction lol definitely things that didn't happen for 500 |

LS only cares about bringing in more money. They don't have to hold a session if they don't want. |
