[quote=ellep98][quote=Jungas]Unless your kid is a real standout, the chances of making an Arlington Travel team in future seasons are pretty low. [b]That age group has huge numbers - more than 100 boys showed up to try out this year[/b] for the few spots that are open on the current teams, and only about 15-20 actually got a look from the coaches (they were known to the coaches before the tryouts).

Unfortunately, this age group and club are a prime example of the craziness around youth sports in general. If your boy didn't try out the first year tryouts were held (which I think was last year for this age), he's essentially boxed out, unless lots of kids already in the program drop the sport.

That said, if the goal is Arlington and Arlington only, ADP is probably your best shot. At least he'd be getting a few looks from ASA coaches through the season. Among the others, we've heard good things about PAC, though it's clearly a step down from ASA, intensity-wise, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective.[/quote]

It is interesting to hear this as it seems to be the case across many clubs for 2014 boys. I wonder why this age group is so large? It seems like 2013 and 2015 are not quite as big. I am glad we had our son try out for travel last year and at least get into the system (not in Arlington). I assume numbers will get smaller over time as kids drop out?[/quote]
