[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah. Sounds like your tryout time woild be better spent with orgs that have D3 teams, OP.[/quote]

How I do find the orgs with D3 teams? Newbie parent here, so all this is useful info to me.[/quote]

What age, boy or girl, and what's your zip code? [/quote]

11 yo boy, 6th grader in 22180[/quote]

FPYC is a little easier team to make usually than Vienna. Try out for both and see if Annandale or Turnpike is having a 6th grade team. They usually have weaker teams
And might be ok with an out of zip player just to get enough kids to play. Herndon, too, although thats a little farther away.[/quote]

FPYC has a 6th grade team that also plays in summer leagues so that one may be tough to make if the team has stayed together.

Turnpike has a new 6th grade team forming and I think Annandale has a new team as well. Also try Falls Church city (if taking outsiders), Springfield South County and Gum Springs. BRYC may be a good option if it’s fielding 3 teams.

It sucks that all the teams host tryouts during first week of October but probably by design so kids aren’t trying out for multiple teams and shopping around.

Also to add… if your kid is really interested in a team and has a good chance to make it, don’t skip the last tryout day but attend all of them. Last year, my son’s 2 friends skipped final tryout and didn’t make the B team despite playing better than half the team!
