| Burke and SYA. Do you eventually get notified if it’s a no? I did see a lot of overlap at tryouts. |

What age? |

What happens is, they offer spots to the first 10 or so kids. Once those have registered, they offer spots to the second team-if there is one.
Once the first and second teams are full, they send out the rejections (if they are well run). So they could have 9 kids registered, waiting on the 10th and your kid could be #11. Or #50. |

| Are you in-zip code for both teams? |

| SYA didn't have a team for girls this age last year (5th) so I would think she has a chance even if she isn't very good as there would be basically 8-9 open roster spots. Good luck! |

| We tried out for three, in zip code for two. It looks like a couple might field two teams so we’ll see. She keeps asking so this will be a good lesson in patience and possibly rejection. |

The CYA board of directors on the basketball side needs an overhaul. |

| If you want good, competitive, inexpensive winter basketball go play in DC. Almost all of the rec centers field boys and girls teams in every age group. Used to be Free for DC residents but some rec centers don’t charge VA residents either (saved us $30). |

That is absolutely terrible advice to someone with a kid trying out for Burke and SYA. And really any FCYBL team. Who has time to drive to DC from Fairfax for 10-14 year old's practice twice a week all winter long? |
