[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the boys play on McLean Select last year?  It's possible they got pulled to the AAU team from there.[/quote]

Six out of the 12 players from last year are on the 10 person roster posted this year. Four new names this year on the A team that weren't on Mclean's A or B teams last year. As well as different coach and assistant coach (the assistant appears to be the AAU team coach). So half the kids who got to play last year were cut this year or relegated to the B team. That is pretty harsh. In our podunk small org, usually almost all the kids get back on their team the next season. I bet the AAU kids start and the McLean kids warm the bench.....

FCYBL publishes the rosters for each year on their site.

So it looks like they shrunk the A team roster size (probably to get more play time for these AAU stars) and then cut kids to make room for some kids from this AAU team. Which bumped some of the B kids back to rec. If FCYBL doesn't care if AAU teams compete together (I always thought this wasn't allowed for obvious reasons) then the only issue is if they have more than two non-Mclean kids out of the ten rostered players. No one likes their Mclean kid being cut to make room for some kid from another zip code. And 20% of your team being non-Mclean is a lot.(Assuming the rest of the kids live in Mclean). I wouldn't be thrilled with the situation either.

The assistant coach has posted pictures of the AAU team and the Mclean team online and they are almost the exact same group of kids.... No one can accuse him of subterfuge lol. He is literally calling the team "Mclean Select/AAU Team" as if they are interchangeable.[/quote]
