[quote=Anonymous]I had two kids go through ADP and are in mid-tier travel teams now.  ADP is awesome and a huge step up from rec.  They seemed to take most except the lower end rec players in the fall, it's very hard to make for just the spring season.  There is a variety of talent, some are definitely top tier "red" level but being held back from travel for a variety of reasons.  I saw a lot of ADP players try out at U10 and only a handful made it and only on the bottom teams, good luck displacing the kids that went straight to travel at U9.  A lot more seemed to make it at U11 since the teams get bigger with more spots.  The pathway of ADP to travel was good for my kids who are good but not Messi, but virtually no one seems to go from ADP to the top teams in Arlington without spending a few seasons on a lower team first.

As for the non-competitive "development" focus, they don't keep scores of games or standings.  Which I thought it was great but ironically the kids did not, they wanted the competitive element and were kind of bored without it.[/quote]
