| My child is trying out for VYS travel for the first time. What type of drills should they expect at the tryouts? Thanks. |
Probably small-sided games and a few sprints at the end. They don't really run any drills during their tryouts. |
| Like PP said, most tryouts are scrimmages, 4v4, 5v5, etc. they move the kids around on different fields to see how they play amongst different players. You’ll start to notice stronger players move to play each other. |
| Thanks. Good to hear. My kid does much better in games and scrimmages than drills. |
What age group? |
| Vienna got spanked recently by a newly founded club. Vienna is too mediocre if you have soccer aspirations. |
Huh? Details are welcome. Unless you have an axe to grind, then go ahead lie and exaggerate. |
Vienna is a solid club at the young ages. |
Vienna is not a strong club at any age! |
Cool story! |
| Why tryout at Vienna ? You also have McLean and Premier AC basically in the same area and are much better clubs for developing kids. Vienna should be a distant third there. |

Poster: We're trying out for soccer at club X, please give us tips!
Dcum: Don't try out at club X! |
Because its better to be aware of the pitfalls before you commit. |
Disagree. We had our pick and Vienna was best on the boys side. PAC does a fine job as well. McLean is a dumpster fire at younger ages on the boys side. I really don’t know how you can say any of the above if you know anything about these teams at these ages. |
| Vienna, PAC and McLean are all solid clubs for player interested in starting in travel soccer. There may be benefits to moving to different clubs at older ages, depending on a player's drive. |
