[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our club has held age group ID sessions already for our top 2 levels, which also attracted outsiders. Our top levels are in strong national platforms.

They specifically required kids to play with their new age group, while noting that some plays may ultimately play up.

Watching these you really see the interesting things, such as 2nd team players who are older hold their own with 1st teamers from the younger group. Some 2nd team players already are doing some practices with the 1st team down. Clearly, the club is starting its internal sorting process.

At older groups, there is a lot of concern among parents about wanting to stay with their classmates. Maybe because people are more honest at this stage vs. guarded it's more open since the trajectory of your kid (college OR just HS) is pretty clear. The sense I get from the talk I hear is there'll be more flexibility with this group about playing up vs. the youngers.[/quote]

What clubs are holding ID camps already in winter to prepare for next year? No waiting for tryouts?[/quote]

Potomac announcements ID sessions in November and has been picking up players through the winter.
SYC announced tryouts coming soon this past week.
Arlington in the club holding internal scrimmages with the new age groups.[/quote]
