Sometime next week, per an email they sent out to all current families.

Just sharing that we had a very similar experience at the three tryouts for our son with 9U boys. By the end of Sunday, he was playing on the field with the returning players. (We know a returning player.)

We haven't heard anything either from Arlington, other than the email on Monday saying by EOW.

We actually got an offer this morning from another club, and I emailed Arlington this morning to ask when they'd send notifications. No response yet. (Our friend with the returning player hasn't gotten an offer yet either.)

Hopefully tomorrow?

So we got the girl's U9 email--- daughter didn't make it. Like I said above, she is only 6 and in kindergarten but for some reason the tryouts were open to those born in 2016. I thought she did so well....but we will continue with rec for now. She can't tryout for ADP b/c she doesn't make birthday cutoff. Still don't get why she was allowed travel tryout but not ADP.....gonna be a sad convo to have after school today

So sorry to hear that! ASA runs their Rec and ADP leagues by school year (to keep things more fun/with friends), while Travel is by birth year - subject to national and regional standards. Your daughter can try out next year though, and with the added experience of knowing what the tryouts are like, and with another year of Rec, good chance she'll be even stronger for it next year. Not all bad!

Not sure if this answers all, but here's the relevant paragraph from an email ASA sent last month about the timeline of final decisions/rosters for next season:

•2014 (U10), 2011 (U13), 2010 (U14): We anticipate that the players in these age groups will receive email notification of their status during the week of May 15.

For the parents with U10 and U13 kids trying out, if they're being considered, I would think they are being asked to practice with the ASA teams this week and next. Even if they're not, I've seen players get slated without going through the team practice sessions. Every year seems to be a bit different, but probably depends on a bunch of factors -- personalities of current coaches, quality of players (both returning and new), and players leaving for other clubs.
