[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any thoughts or opinions on the 2010 McLean U9 boys tryouts thus far? I here it was a much smaller group compared to Arlington's U9 tryouts. Kind of makes sense as Arlington has the luxury of attracting a whole county and some. Its probably also why Arlington rosters six teams instead of the four most other clubs do.[/quote]

MYS is a smaller club that fields 3-4 teams at U-9. Arlington fields 6 teams so can take more kids. Of course the tryouts are smaller at MYS. That is the nature of a smaller club. These two--while close in proximity-- are VERY different clubs so if you haven't done your research you should. [/quote]

Different how?[/quote]

One is much more 'intense' [/quote]

I don't know about that. I have some experience with both. They are both very big clubs, Arlington is just that even bigger. They both have teams in the same or comparable leagues--except for Arlington's fifth and sixth teams which play in ODSL, I think. So it is mostly different at the bottom. Within their leagues, Arlington does seem to be more successful, but I doubt that is because of the intensity.

McLean tryouts seem to have gotten smaller the last few years. There are probably some naturally ups and downs and they have also lost some kids to Bethesda South and other close by teams.[/quote]

We've been at both clubs...McLean has a smaller club/community feel...many different coaches know your kid and you know a big chunk of the families in your age bracket. With 6 teams across multiple age levels its harder to replicate that in Arlington.  Arlington has a larger player pool and therefore tends to have stronger teams. They also have DA if that is what you are looking for. Again,. it depends what you is most important to you...
