FCYBL-is this allowed?

I’m a little jealous that the McLean teams get their names on the uniforms. Swanky.

I am always squinting trying to find my kid.

Wow. Assuming the coaches are normal adult man height and not tiny leprechaun men-that is a whole lot of extremely tall 12 yo boys.

Five kids who are at least 5’8-ish. PP was not lying about super tall.

Dang, the one and only tall kid on my son’s team is maybe 5’7. I hope they don’t play them!

Tall does not equal good. I say this as a parent of a 6’2 8th grader that happens to be good.

Look at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. I’ve seen some of these select teams play including the IG of that posted. The A teams on this team are not competitive on a global sense. The “star” on this team plays on a PYBL team that doesn’t get any playing time or points. If your kid is not making a 7th grade team it’s because they’re not good enough. That’s fine. Move to Rec and pick another sport.

I think it’s reasonable to expect the rules to be followed.

Who says the rules weren’t followed?

It seems to be an open question.

lol. Tall doesn’t matter for basketball but you made sure to tell us about your 6’2 8th grade superstar.

Sometimes kids want to play at a more competitive level then rec, but they aren’t a star like your son is. What’s hard to get about that?

My son wants to go to Harvard on a full ride. I want a 10m house on the Potomac. I want a yacht. Kids don’t get everything they want. Full stop.

“Slightly higher than rec” is the whole point of this league. There are tons of AAU options for the superstars.

It’s also the only affordable option for low income kids who want to improve and can’t afford all the private training and private teams and leagues. NCS let’s leagues use scholarship money for fcybl, so a kid can play for $50/season.

In fact, Nova94 is a lower level AAU team.

How do you know what the higher or lower level AAU teams are? Just curious. My kid is not that level.
