How is VYS going to hire all these additional coaches if they keep adding new teams this year?  [/quote]

I don't know if anyone meant that VYS was "adding new teams" this year. In my experience, they always have 3 or so teams for each age group: Red / Black / White / sometimes even more. [/quote]

I heard 2014 boys has 5 teams right now in U10. Maybe that goes down to 4 next year? Either way seems like some kids will not get offered any kind of spot. I wonder whether they have already filled their top two teams or if they are still leaving a few spots open for new players. There were so many boys at the first tryout. I hope they separate existing from new (or received an offer vs. not received an offer) at the second tryout. [/quote]

2014 does indeed have 5 teams of approx 12 players each. They will be moving to 9v9 in the fall, and the standard move would be to switch to 4 teams of 14 players each (56 spots). VYS trains as an academy (all teams players from an age group on the field at the same time), so the main limitation is field space.

In big birth years like this I really wish they would keep more teams, as the funnel will continue to narrow over time, and having a large player base will make their top teams better at older ages.

Last year, approximately 20 new players were added to the team. I don’t expect as many this year, but there will be some. Do not worry about what team you get if you get an offer. Take the spot, perform, and you’ll be moved up.

If you don’t get a spot, be gracious about it, stay in touch with the club, and ask to practice with the team a few times in the fall. The club will usually lose a player or two over the summer unexpectedly.

The best time to join any team is not tryouts.  It is fall or early spring. You start by practicing with the team, then work your way on from there. Most clubs actually leave a spot or two open for these kinds of players.

The key is to continue improving in the meantime. Play futsal over the summer, enroll in camps, practice at an empty field on weekends, potentially look at private training, etc. [/quote]

Are players from outside usually added to lower teams then moved up if they perform, or will they add a player to a higher team right away if it seems like they would add strength to the existing team? Also curious how the 2014 boys top team at VYS stacks up against other clubs like McLean, BRYC, SYC, Arlington, etc. Better or worse than those clubs' first and second teams?[/quote]
