Anyone go to the Arlington U9 tryouts? Took my DS yesterday and seemed like there were 100 kids scrimmaging on over 10 fields. This was our first tryout experience and DS enjoyed it.[/quote]

Yes.  My child enjoyed them--but it was soooo late for the little boys.  Many were not showing their best because they are usually asleep by 8pm.  It's a very long day for kids that wake up at 6:30am, coupled with rec games the same day.

Comments:
1) time of tryouts was bad. the boys got stuck with the late times all 3 sessions.
2) My impression only (not sure if it will turn out to be the case) the second day a few of the evaluators really were just choosing pure physical Size of the players over Skill. Big kids toe-balling from one side to the other and just knocking kids down seemed to be in favor.  It wasn't that way the first night, but it was almost a completely different group of evaluators.  Hopefully, things will sort out.

But- they ran very smoothly, were well-organized and the kids really seemed to be having fun.  [/quote]

I'm LMAOF about this thread of little boys knocking the crap out of each other.  OF COURSE, it's almost 8pm at f-cking night after a full weekend day of other sports.

Anybody that is raising all sons know what happens when it is close to bedtime and they are cranky---they are other hyperstimulated or beating the crap out of one another.  Just not cool making 7-8 year olds tryout at 6:45-8:15pm.[/quote]
