[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here with a question about ATB tryouts. Their FAQs indicate your child has to try out each year with the teams being a blank slate.

I’m wondering what people’s experience with this is. If a kid is overall athletic, improving and listening to coaches, etc. what are the odds they will be replaced by a new kid who comes along in a later season? It feels like such a huge financial and time commitment for families, that it would be disheartening to have your kid no longer on the team because someone who is 2% better came along the next year. But maybe that is standard for travel?

Also, do they usually field 2 teams for each age group? 12 kids doesn’t sound like much for the entire county. [/quote]

Unlikely to be booted out by a new kid, but more likely a kid will drop out because it’s too much or their family is military or they want to swim or whatever. 
There’s also Arlington storm. ATB had tryouts this summer. Storm has tryouts at the end of October. So, there are 48 travel players per age group in the county. [/quote]
