[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boys teams consist of kids from Prince William County, with a few Fairfax and Loudoun players mixed in, and there are very, very few Vienna-based players, FYI.[/quote]

Well considering it was announced to VYS families after VDA tryouts concluded, that's not a big surprise. Let's allow it to play out a couple years before casting judgement on it. [/quote]

If you really want to join a DA, why didn't you try out on your own?  You actually need VYS to contact you and say it's OK?  I'm I confused here?[/quote]

I guess I wasn't clear. All I meant was that it was my understanding that for the most part DA teams had already been set and tryouts had occurred before VYS announced it. I assume a few still made it however. I think you made an assumption that I knew what a DA was or when tryouts would occur. Me, like many others, don't know the difference between the leagues or what a DA or ECNL is, so I had to do my research after learning about a DA through VYS (which was late in the process). After doing the research I know that my kid has neither the interest or likely the ability to participate in a DA.

My comment about not being a big surprise and letting it play out simply meant when the initial poster said there are few Vienna-based players, I suggested that we give it a few years to see if there is a bigger balance of Prince William, Fairfax, Loudoun and VIENNA players.

Not trying to be a jerk, just clarifying.[/quote]

Then I'll give you another truth nugget. There is no real tryout season for DA. Again, contact a VDA coach if you interested in your kid playing for VDA. Also they are posting a series of ID sessions: http://www.vdasoccer.org/Default.aspx?tabid=1226174

The way it is supposed to work, outside of the ID clinics, is that your player is invited to work with the team based on being recommended or scouted. You can ask to be scouted. In all practical purposes if you contact the coach they will either ask your kid's current coach about your player or they will either come to a game or just invite your kid to a practice. [/quote]
