[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't mclean do what Arlington does?? They play U8 on a team with friends and have true games not scrimmages and then sign up (no tryout) for academy, and then the coaches pull players into advanced academy? A lot less money and you can see the difference in the eventual U9 teams when they play each other between the 2 clubs as I don't see taking 45 boys and charging them money at U8 and saying they will all be on a travel team.      How is this "pre-travel"? [/quote]

I suspect it's a a way to raise funds to defray other costs (pretty sure they are cash flow negative many years) and get kids, many of whom who are probably equidistant from various other local clubs, to buy into the system.  McLean does offer additional skills training for rec players if they want to sign up but it sounds very different from what you describe.  They also do identify U7 from their rec games and practices and offer a few of those kids an extra night of training with a professional coach for free.   The "pre-travel" moniker perhaps is misplaced maybe it's used because you actually have to try-out for the program (although it sounds like they take most of the kids who do) similar to what they will have to do when they reach u9?[/quote]
