[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FPYC current girls U10 team tryouts for U11:

4/23 5:45 – 7:15 Lanier Middle School, 3801 Jermantown Rd, Fairfax VA 22030 
4/26 5:45 – 7:15 Green Acres, 4401 Sideburn Rd, Fairfax VA 22030 
4/27 5:45 – 7:15 Green Acres, 4401 Sideburn Rd, Fairfax VA 22030 [/quote]

Why is this not on their website?[/quote]

Good question.  As a parent on this team I can tell you it’s a wonderful team with a very dedicated coach.  The club is small so communication and marketing don’t get much of a budget but I’m sure they will post dates for May as they did last year.   I think our coach wanted to get ahead and spread the word early. [/quote]

Another FPYC 2008 girls parent here ... I don't think we get much in the way of communication from the club and we (the parents) have likely adjusted our expectations accordingly.  I don't know if we'd ever hear anything about other FPYC travel teams if some of our players didn't have older siblings.  Communication within the team itself flows effortlessly (via TeamSnap, Facebook, YouTube).

FPYC has only one girls team at this age group and our coach is looking to grow the roster from 12 to 16 (as allowed for U11).  Sadly, I don't think there was enough interest to field a 2009 girls team last year.  For all I know, the 2009 and 2010 girls may be in the same situation this year.  **I** am not aware of any travel players already within FPYC that could play up with this team next year.

As was stated, our coach is awesome (don't many parents think that about their child's coach?  :) ).  He never yells at the girls and has tried his best to have us parents buy into "Silent Soccer."  (That's still a work-in-progress for a sideline-yeller ... like me).  Our coach is very thorough, even to the point of providing a 9-page player evaluation at the end of our Fall 2017 season, covering 50 different aspects of the game, each ranked from 1 (needs significant improvement) to 9 (national team standard) ... and each with insightful comments!  He is all about teaching the game of soccer.

Here's [url=http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/717604.page]my "original" post[/url] regarding our tryouts.

Here is the [url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dmY5lc1CMtvZBzqhFgO_RatLOwDcyRCh/view]information sheet (PDF on Google Drive)[/url] the coach shared with the parents, including his bio.[/quote] A roster of 16 kids to play 9v9?  So 7 subs?  I get that you want to expand the roster to prepare for 11v11 at U13 but that's ridiculous for U11.  [/quote]
