[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 14u. So far, it’s been amazing. We’ve been very, very happy. Everyone loves our coaches. They are trying to get them ready for high school ball, so their standards are very high compared to where we came from. They played 3 or 4 tournaments so far, but local ish. Only 1 requiring a hotel. Single games or DH on Sundays, single game Wednesday nights. Practice 2x a week. 
The 13u team is their rockstar team, and they play more tournaments. I can’t imagine they would be doing tryouts for that team. I am not sure what teams they are doing tryouts for, but maybe the 13u C level team and the 14/15u combined team which is B level. 
So far the practices have been in arlington as promised. They play in nvtbl so a lot of games are in Fairfax county (patriot park, centerville, Chantilly, Lorton with some in south Arlignton).

Where did you guys come from for 13u?  I’ve heard not so great things from other parents who were previously at ignite or prime time.  [/quote]

About 60% of the team came from those two teams, the rest mostly from ATB. I have not ever heard anyone say anything other than that they are thrilled with the program. Do you mean you’ve heard not great things about ignite and primetime for 13u? That I can agree with. [/quote]
No, they were parents on the 14u and 15u teams who came over from ignite and prime time so the practices would be more convenient.  I’m guessing that they wouldn’t express displeasure with a program to other parents with kids on the same team!  Either way I’m glad you are having a good experience!  My son is 12u and though we have had a mixed experience with his current organization (which presumably feeds into United), he really wants to play for Arlington United.  [/quote]

Assume you mean storm or ATB. I think AU is very well run, and I’m not really sure what a better option would be for a 13u unless your kid is a prospect. Some people went to stars, but then you are always driving out to Fairfax. If he’s just a normal good player then it’s a great option. If he’s a bottom player on one of those 2 A teams, then he probably won’t make the regional 13u team unless he’s 6’ 180 lbs. Most of the other options around here are not going to be top level of play. 
[img]Primetime and ignite don’t have fields so they do indoor practice once a week which is not enough on field time imo. [/img][/quote]

Arlington United is not associated with the county and also doesn’t “have fields” All of these teams have an outdoor practice at least once a week. We are at primetime and have practiced at an Arlington or Alexandria field in the area.  [/quote]

I know. I’m saying once a week on a field isn’t enough imo. [/quote]
