This is what I was wondering, whether they actually said No to anyone willing to pay.   We went to one of their open tryouts, our kid is still a baby (in my eyes) so our internal debate is whether the time (distance for us) and money (definitely more expensive than our local club) is worth it at such a young age.  But it also makes sense that if you buy into FCB philosophy then the younger the start maybe the easier it becomes to be ingrained in that method/style of play. [/quote]

They don’t want to have the quality of training take a hit so they have a cap on the number of players in the program.  That is why there is a waitlist to get in. The number reflects the player-coach ratio and the room.  They also had a cap on the number of players in a tryout session when they first opened to get a decent look and avoid the cattle call tryout, I think 30 at a time, and they kept adding sessions to accommodate numbers.  They also didn’t just scrimmage like every other tryout we’ve attended.  However, from what I understand, they will not increase the size of the Academy in a single location.  They invest in development so they don’t discard players.  But, if somebody knows more, please correct me if I understood wrong. I do know a few players on the waitlist.[/quote]

Thanks PP.  when we attended one of the last tryouts i figured they just added additional tryouts because they hadn't gotten enough interest, so this insight is helpful 
 The fact the tryouts were so drastically different (drills vs just scrimmaging) was interesting to us as well.  When we stood on the sideline of our U9 tryouts it was really hard to tell how the coaches were going to differentiate these players and whether they were actually looking for players to keep or players to cut.
