[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your kid already play selective, competitive travel soccer? If not, he’s almost certainly not making the team. There are many other teams that are easier to join, if he’s athletic and wants to play a sport. [/quote]

He does play travel/competitive soccer, yes. I want him to play something else if soccer doesn't pan out, not sure that he would though.[/quote]

XC is no-cut (but is a strong team overall, so I assume there’s a clear division between the top/elite runners and everyone else); same with indoor (winter) and outdoor (spring) track.

Ultimate is no-cut; anyone can play JV, but varsity is very competitive. There’s a more casual fall season where there isn’t a JV/varsity split and a more formal spring season with varsity tryouts; if your kid is interested, coming out in the fall is a great way to see if they like it.

Lacrosse is decent and getting better, I think? But I believe it’s open to all comers.[/quote]

Agree-- he should consider ultimate frisbee.  Fun sport with transferable skills from soccer.  The JR boys and girls teams are both among the best in the DMV and have gone to nationals the past few years.  Since the frisbee season starts when school starts, he could always try out for soccer and if he doesn't make the team, try frisbee.[/quote]
