SCAA is having tryouts tonight if you want an option for a smaller club in the area.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they did send out offers early to jump ahead of lmv tryouts. Once it gets out to other parents whose kid didn’t receive an early offer before tryouts some will be pissed

Inevitable and a part of the landscape. You either accept being a bubble where you are or look for another situation.

Drama is only at the parent level. Kids go out an play regardless.

Wow

Pretty sure that was a joke. At least I hope so. If not...

From prior experience if you are on blue and they want you back you find out instantly. If you are on orange, you find out 2/3 days after blue. If you are on white or black, don't hold your breath. That can take up to a week.

Agreed. Parent drama unfortunately bleeds down to the kids at their expense. Hopefully this can all just settle down and everybody find a club, have fun, and play the game.

There are great coaches and great kids at both clubs and in all the surrounding clubs. Find your fit and and find your joy back people.

SYC’s been giving out free washing machines to lure players?

No each player gets a year lease on a new car. The coaches will drive the car of players too young to drive. The parent will still have to pay insurance, gas and other expenses. It’s a great deal!

Some LMVSC players coming over received offers immediately at the conclusion of the 1st day of try outs. ON THE FIELD. Not a joke.

Were they that much better then other lower blue team or top orange players to get an immediate offer? Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a way to destabilize the other club. I'm not sure how that would make me feel if that had happened at my age group.

It's hard to believe that they were that good that the coaches couldn't wait until day 2 or even day 3 of try outs. How is that fair to SYC players? They're taking slots and the coaches have only seen the SYC players for maybe 1 day.

LMVSC weren't the only players to get immediate offers. I have yet to hear any SYC players at the younger age groups receive an offer, but so far I know of 4 LMVSC players and a BRYC player. I believe they're trying to get ahead of the other club try outs.

Would any one care to share what age groups are receiving offers on the field?

I know a handful of players from one team at LMV that attended an SYC's tryout, and each of them received an offer after the first day. A couple of them are very good, but the rest are average players. This may be the downside of taking a bunch of coaches from a neighboring club. They know the players at their current club far better than the established players at their new club.

Thanks for the info. I am SHOCKED because Este promised fair and unbiased evaluations as part of the tryout process.

Sarcasm aside, my younger DS was with SYC and I am very glad that we decided to go elsewhere for the 2019/2020. If the LMVSC players are legitimately better, then fine - offer them the top spots. But I think that at a bare minimum SYC should be allowing the full three days of tryouts to pass before making offers. Especially as they are not overly familiar with the SYC players.
