No separate tryouts and correct not impressive. GA aspire may get better with time but it’s simply not gonna be anything special next year. It’s EDP with another name. |

| Before too much DCUM negativity sets in, I would say that depending on a girls playing level, and desire to get better, it's a great opportunity for a girl to play up with a good coach, or if looking to get more game time, or play a new position, this could be the right environment. I'd say Potomac, as with all the other clubs (have you seen the threads about northern VA teams?) are going through a lot of changes and movements as GA and GA Aspire enters the landscape, and all girl players, especially 2013 and older, are trying to find the right fit and developmental opportunities. For 2014 or 2015 girls, there is a great established coach at Potomac there who will be coaching 2014 and 2015 this upcoming year (current coach of 2013 and 2014) So great opportunity for great coaching, while getting in early on a GA Aspire platform (and hopefully GA platform, depending on leadership's strategy and steering of the club.) (I'm not saying other coaches are not good, by calling out just this one. I am not as aware of others' coaching style and success as much. ) |

| thanks Transplant for this thoughtful take. While I and many others are generally critical of ED's motivations for the constant re-boiled alphabet soup of middling league acronyms this is a reasonable way to see how even minor changes like this can have real benefits to certain players and families. |

In their coach posts it looks like it’s only this team and being the assistant coach for 2017s. |

She is also an assistant coach for PPA’s 2009 and 2011 girls teams. She will be busy! |

Assistant coach can mean very little commitment. I wouldn’t worry about it. |

That’s very reassuring for the kids on the teams for which she is an assistant coach. |

I don’t know this person or team, but being a good assistant coach doesn’t mean being at every practice. Often you are there to work on specific things or strategy - which I would assume is the case with this coach and her credentials. |
