[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depending on your daughters personality if you think she will be top team at McLean you should know that the coach (Jaon) is very tough and yells at girls during the games. He's a perfectionist and demands it. IMO would be a better fit for older kids because he kills the fun of soccer which is too bad when you are dealing with 8 and 9 year olds.[/quote]

Thank you for some insight on the coach. That is very good to know. My DD has always had really laid back coaches and has thrived. I'm not sure how she would do with someone yelling - could go either way. I think she could take the yelling and still perform but if she stops having fun it would likely be the end of soccer after that year and push for something else at her age. She is not at the point of live and breath soccer. and would prefer joy over top team, especially when she has enjoyed her current ADP team and coaches despite less challenge.

Do you have a sense for roster sizes?[/quote]

Ok - have re-read the prior post (thank you for the heads up) and have searched further for more info on the Mclean U9/U10 coach and we are now most likely going to bail out of the Mclean 2010 travel tryouts Monday. It may be a lot of the unknown since we were originally at least go and see for ourselves to get a feel at the tryouts, but think we may opt for one last pool practice with her pro coach in Arlington before the 2nd tryout day for 2010 Arlington.  Would any MYS parent say different for 2010 girls Mclean travel tryouts and say go to U10 tryout anyway?[/quote]
