[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know when/if Achilles will have tryouts or ID sessions?  Will they have the same age groups they have this year in MLS Next (U13, U14, U16, and U19)?[/quote]

Don't count on it.  Last season, their 2007 and 2009 Achilles MLS Next teams were dead last, so they were kicked out of MLS Next.  So this season, Achilles formed a 2008 MLS Next team (primarily with the same 2009 kids who were on the 2009 MLS Next team that was kicked out) and has lost every game so far this season.  Apparently MLS Next does not bother to check the team roster (or doesn't care) to see if Achilles is just repackaging the same team under a different age group.  If the kids could not compete at their age level (2009) last season, how in the world did Achilles think they could compete at the 2008 age level this season?  Seems like desperation to keep fielding MLS Next teams by any means.  Unless your son already plays for Achilles and you are closely watching this drama unfold, prospective (and even many current) parents don't know what is going on.  Such a disappointment.[/quote]

LOL.  [/quote][/quote]
