[quote=Anonymous]The fact that there is so much talk around Legacy - a new club, says that they are on the right track. And the fact that people would enter this forum and attempt to discredit a club that they have not experienced is disheartening and points to the fact that operatives who have financial interests in other clubs may be attempting to spew lies so that they can fill their benches and tryouts with players who they know won't play. Which further underscores the point that the interest of such clubs is a few elite athletes and the rest is about revenue. So what tryouts are the same as other popular clubs, those clubs have little turnover and thereby add few people to their rosters.  Many of these teams are only looking to add 1-2 players.  But they want you to come try out "with the best" so that your tryout fee can build their revenue because let's face it, if one of those clubs has not been speaking to your athlete already they are not checking for them and your athlete will not make the team unless they are an undiscovered unicorn (a stellar athlete who's tall and athletic and has been hiding until tryouts).  Youth sports is about equity - at whatever level of play.  A few teams in the DMV have had the monopoly and thereby have become elite and extremely sought after - kudos to them and the athletes they trained.  As families you don't have to wait for a club to discard you, you don't have to play down, you don't have to play on a second team, and you don't have to subject yourself to mediocre coaching.  If someone had discouraged those larger clubs from starting then there would have been less access for those athletes.  As the sport grows more athletes will need a place to play, and thanks to our lovely country that offers all the opportunity to start businesses and play sports wherever we choose, there should be more clubs to offer more girls the opportunity to compete. Try out season is like the Hunger Games, parents make sure you position your athlete for the best outcomes according to their goals and abilities.  [/quote]
