[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were just looking at NCAP Tysons Gold because they have evening times. [/quote]

Unless there’s a big schedule change for next year, the Gold group with evening practices is Gold Prep. It’s four days a week  (3 during HS swim season) for only 9 months. Most kids in that group aren’t making Jr/Sr champs cuts, never mind sectionals. As far as NCAP NOVA goes, OP wants Gold 1 at Marymount or Gold 2 at Tysons but they are - or have been up until now - morning programs. [/quote]

Not the poster above, but there is a big schedule change - there is now Gold 2 and 3 with two levels with in Gold 3. I believe Gold 3B is similar to prep. Gold A is year round. We were considering a move from Marymount to Tysons for Gold, but my understanding is that they are trying to use the same names at both locations. [/quote]

Is gold 3A for competitive kids? Would a kid with almost sectionals cuts fit in there?[/quote]
No, Gold 3 is not the group for sectional level swimmers. I would say Gold 2 is probably the best fit for your swimmer as a rising freshman who is close to sectional cuts but does not have any yet. [/quote]

Gold 2 at Tysons does not have a coach hired for next year.  This past season, there was not a consistent coach assigned to this group (the "lead" coach was only there 3 mornings a week); it was a lot of money for a program that often felt like an afterthought, which is why we are leaving and moving to a new Club.[/quote]
