[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to get feedback?  DS was waitlisted, went from being the top scorer in his house team to not making it at u9 level.  I know he will be crushed, but we will encourage him to practice and try again next year.  Has anyone successfully solicited feedback from VYS?[/quote]

Here is my advice. At U9 he is too young and any “travel club” won’t teach him anything or develop him. They are all money grab and once they put your kid in a lower team he will get stuck there forever.  Keep him for couple years in his home team he enjoys and get him quality small group trainings and private training and go to any travel club later and jump on 1st team from the get go.

Few years ago, my DC was rejected by Juventus in MoCo. We made a mistake to joining a lower team with n Bethesda thinking she will develop better but we got stuck there forever wasting time. Then we scratched all that and focused on private training, left the club and joined a 1st VA team in ECNL after 3 years of hard work (training not club). However, she always remembers that U9 Juventus rejection more than anything. Juventus is now MSI and she is ECNL. Took hard work on her own.

Bottom line, forget travel at this age, have him train with good trainers and be patient. Your kid will eventually make it to the top and he will always remember VYS rejection but by then he may be an MLSNext player. And VYS will be begging to get him and he won’t look at their direction. [/quote]
