[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were at girls tryouts, at the 630 time slot for the second session, and my daughter played on the third field the whole time.  She didn't get an offer.  I was surprised to hear that there were a good number of girls in the earlier time slot (2016s, not 2017s) who did get offers.  Any thoughts on this?  Would the league answer a follow-up inquiry?  Just curious as to where they saw her/had her slotted.  [/quote]
Those girls were probably in the new futures program at Arlington. The more cynical DCUM’ers among us would decry this as pay-to-play $$ grab, but at the same time, the futures coaches (who were at the tryouts) know those kids well, for better or worse, and it may not be any more a naked money grab than all the ADP kids who eventually make travel.🤷 It can’t hurt to follow up with them, I’m curious to see if they mention futures as a reason.

I would ask them what happened. Seems like an odd turnout, as the later time slots were the more competitive girls.[/quote]
I’m going to throw my 2 cents in and say I disagree the later time slot was intended to be more competitive. [/quote]
