[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the Reston 7th Grade Boys D1 is mostly or entirely Nova Cavs AAU players. I recognized most of them from when they played my son's team in the summer. The problem with collecting all the good players for your AAU team and then playing in the FCYBL is there aren't enough good players left for the other teams to give you any good competitive games.

Nope.  I know a kid who isn’t affiliated that organization and probably their best player.[/quote]

Very true.  100% this happened with Reston.  Have you seen their record/scores?  Totally unfair.[/quote]

I don’t get how this is fun or useful for that team to play in a league with no competition.[/quote]
Those kids live in Reston.  They are just better than the other teams.  [/quote]

They have a huge advantage if they play together year round. This league isn’t meant for AAU teams. [/quote]

Most AAU players play county. Some of the better teams are all one AAU team, but some of the best are zip codes that happen to have very good AAU players from different teams [/quote]

If teams are formed in October naturally and follow the zip code requirements and just happen to have bunch of really good kids who play year-round, that's one thing (although would still argue year-round basketball-only focus isn't what county league designed to provide).  But full AAU teams - or super teams of couple AAU teams combined - with kids who play together year-round is well beyond mission of county league.  And FCYBL is promoting this by not doing simple zip code certification they've always done...

Not sure what these AAU or AAU-hybrid teams get out of it.  They dominate teams made up of kids who just started playing together couple months ago and win every game by 30-40 points.  Great.  As a coach, would worry that those kids would get lazy or develop bad habits that would be costly when they "re-hit" the AAU circuit...

Maybe they should not allow zip code exceptions, that's how these teams are able to do this. [/quote]
