[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The VA Metro coaches are the coaches for the UA team.  Our club team destroyed them the last time we played (something like 15-1). They had 9-10 girls called back to final Command game, we had 3.  Come on, it's a joke.  
Why not have coaches switch regions for the tryout?  There are a million ways to make it fair and unbiased, and they do none of them.
But it will continue to be until parents don't support it.  I am impressed with the good players who didn't go this year because they know how it works.  This is our last year.  Will never give them money like an idiot again.  The only way they stop is if parents stop supporting them.  Hopefully, enough parents will feel that way soon.[/quote]

It’s clearly political. So obvious. The Metro coaches are terrible. One is at Flint Hill, and terrible. The other got fired from Centreville after one year because they won one game. Two peas in a pod. [/quote]

Somehow 4 VAM girls make the Command team  --- more than Capital, Pride and Stars combined.  I don't even like all of those clubs and I will admit it smells fishy.  VAM doesn't play anywhere near the level of teams and schedule those clubs play.  If the Metro girls are that good, why do they struggle in their mid-level tournaments?  Bad coaching?  Then why are they the UA coaches?  If the coaches are that good, why can't they win with that talent? Maybe the talent isn't really that good?[/quote]

You would be an idiot to not see that players make the team if their coaches are the head coaches. [/quote]

I know this is an annual complaint, but the top players in the area by and large do seem to make the Highlight team. If you look at the schools where they are from. They are the tops in the IAC and WCAC, and for the girls the ISL. Not defending any past slights, but this just seems like sour grapes over not making a roster or being on the wrong high school or club team.[/quote]

It’s not sour grapes. As an long time observer of the try outs - [b]this event is utterly corrupt and it’s an open secret of lacrosse insiders. There is no real evaluating going on.[/b] The evaluators/ coaches from different schools and clubs agree to join up and trade votes to get their favorites on the team. Yes some players make it through who are the best (if they are backed by someone involved) but just as many would not have rosters spots if it wasn’t arranged by the evaluators and coaches.  If you could get a list of the evaluators from the tryout, see where they work and where the players are from there would be no denying it.  [b]Every year it gets worse and it’s completely obvious if you know who is who. [/b] Look at both division rosters, group kids by schools and clubs and it will be obvious what groups had the most votes this year.   The folks saying this are not just disappointed kids or parents.  There is a reason certain kids didn’t even bother to come this year (from top schools and top clubs). They know the deal.  It is the facts. [/quote]
