[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] No, they dont.  First, anyone can try out at whatever UA they want.  Its not based on where you live or go to school.  Plus, player selection is made by local coaches (school and club - i.e. always Capital, SSSAS and BI in DC, and this year Va Metro and Flint Hill coaches are joining in) because they make up the evaluators and they know who they want before the tryouts even start.  Last year several Baltimore 2021 top tier players tried out for the DC UA team.  None of them made the first cut, none of the evaluators knew them so nobody was pushing for them.  Its pure politics, not truly talent based - players on the top Baltimore clubs are typically much better players than the ones on Capital. [/quote]

Maybe things have changed this year, but UA clearly states in its eligibility requirements "You must live within the geographic region* for the team you are trying out for and be in good academic standing."

You may be correct, but VA Metro is not generally one of the stronger club teams, at least at the Command age group, so if girls make it from this club won't it be easy to expose the politics? Seems like this would be too obvious and really hurt the reputation of the event. Based on comments to date it doesn't sound like many think highly of the event already.[/quote]
