[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard Arlington uses Super Y to do some early tryouts.

As a parent who has been through all this.  Kids don't go skipping school for Super Y. Parents don't use 4 days of vacation.  Save that for something that really matters.[/quote]

Super Y has seemed to evolve over the last few years. There are many more clubs that have a team compared to even a de years ago. As others have said, clubs are using it as a recruiting tool while pressuring their own players to do it to have another stream of revenue for their coaches.

Seemingly half the teams make the “finals” in Tampa and the team pays a big penalty if they do not go. A racket within a racket. [/quote]

Half the teams do not make the finals. Mid-Atlantic is allotted more than other regions but it's average 2 teams in the top bracket and 1 team in the 2nd bracket.  That's max 3/16 or so teams. Usually only first place makes it for older ages or other regions[/quote]

For u13 girls there were 3 brackets of 5 top 2 teams each bracket made it and a 3rd place wild card team made it so 7 out of 15 teams.  Look at the finals 2 arlington teams played against each other in  “national finals” of u15. Finals are inviting more and more teams and are a total money grab. They started taking U12 a few years back and I’m sure they will figure out they can make more money if they invite u11 soon. [/quote]
