This team is the biggest scam on the planet. They held tryouts - and only their own sons and son’s friends somehow made the first cut despite there being far more qualified athletes who aren’t from rich Arlington social circles. [/quote]

Form your own team, find coaches, practice space, enter leagues/tournaments, communicate with parents. We had a great experience on a team that used my son's future HS coach as one of its coaches. Who cares if the organizing parent's kid gets to play? That kid could hang with everyone skills-wise.

The reality is basketball is really competitive for boys in this area. You can have a talented kid that isn't a "star" or is just average tall (not basketball tall). My talented kid got passed over a couple times for the more competitive MS-aged teams because he hadn't hit 6 foot yet. They'd rather develop the right kid who is going to be basketball tall than take shorter kids who have been playing for years. Sooner you are realistic about your kid's talent and genetics the better.[/quote]
