[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not true. Two 2027s on a team and didn’t tryout. [/quote]

Due to injuries.  Both of them played on Team DC/VA in the past and both deserve to be on the team.[/quote]

Any player accepting a spot with no tryout should be ashamed. Someone please tell me this did not actually happen.[/quote]

Ha! Comedian over here…[/quote]

I’m sorry, there is shame earned on this one. Two girls did not receive offers because two players who did not earn them felt entitled?  This is a stain on the parents and the organization. So embarrassing. [/quote]

There is no shame, and casting it at teenagers is not a good look.

My DD was physically there, tried out, made it, so this isn’t personal.

If she had been injured or had some type of family emergency issue, however, I would definitely have considered sending in film and applying.  For Sophomore’s in particular, missing because of an injury is a really tough thing.  Film evaluation is legitimate if done by the same evaluators.

Spare me the pearl clutching, you parent who would demand special treatment because you or your daughter is so self important. [/quote]

This is not “special treatment.”  Elite athletes train very hard and get injured more frequently. If a region wants to field the best team, it is absolutely appropriate (and fair) to allow injured athletes to submit film for evaluation purposes.  That is meritocracy - not just which kids happened to be in town & available to tryout on a given Sunday.  Relax.[/quote]
