your kid must be exceptionally fantastic….or….your a former board member lmao jk congrats!

Can confirm I’ve seen new kids at the Arl practices the past week or 2. But they also have organized separate sessions with larger groups of outside players from open tryouts, both with and without current Arl players. I don’t know if that is new this year due to all the new McLean kids and/or new coaches in U10-U12.

The ‘next practice on turf’ outside players seemed normal. But I saw one of the other sessions and it was…omg. All of us assumed they were evaluating outside players for whatever top teams’ spots were left, and the only way that what I saw would make sense is if they were actually evaluating outside players for 2nd team (at best) or lower.

I felt bad for both groups of kids, Arl b/c it was a waste of time for them (this was outside regular practice) and the outside players b/c sone were clearly out of their element.

So either Arl admin are being phenomenally stupid or are playing next-level 3D chess???

Thanks for sharing. Do you think tryout performance had any significant impact on whether or not adp kids got offers?

So you don't think teams are predetermined before tryouts?

Other than some on pre-academy teams, there has been no communication from Arlington to current families for next season.

If this is true, how are they going to meet their self-imposed deadline to notify all players?

They won’t. We were told once if your kid is being moved down you will know by such and such date. That day came and went, and some other kid on the team got a move down notice. So we breathed a sigh of relief until the morning after, when we got the email saying our kid was being moved down.
