A lot of people think MVSA heavily favors returning players. That’s usually true—but last year their 15U teams saw many new players:
15-1: 4 new players out of 10
15-2: 5 new players out of 10
15-3: 6 new players out of 10
These numbers include some internal moves, but there were also players from outside MVSA joining their teams.

Good advice in the rest of your post, but wanted to update one note.  Completely agree that talking to the coaches at the club you are interested in is the best course of action, after they have a chance to see you play either in a fall clinic or in a HS game if you are that age.

Separately, MVSA 15s didn't have that number of new players from what I've seen.
15-1: 3 new players (From VA Elite, Columbia, unsure about last one)
15-2: 3 new players (From MD JRS, Metro Travel, ECE)
15-3: 6 new players (From St. James, Platform, MD Jrs, MOCO, 2 unknown)

Said another way, you are unlikely to make a 15s team at MVSA unless you already played on a competitive club team the year before.

On average, between U13-U16, MVSA takes:
1s teams: 2 players, from very competitive clubs/teams
2s teams: 2.5 players, from competitive clubs/teams
3s teams: 6 players, a mix of experienced club players, HS players that the coach wants in MVSA U15-16 and/or athletic high potential players.

FYI, they do also take more than 10 players and when they do they usually add the additional players as practice only players.  Although there have been some teams in the past with more than 10 players playing in tournaments.  Last year the average roster size for MVSA was actually above 11.[/quote]
