[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raise your hand if your kid didn't even get offered a spot on VYS travel this year.  Sigh.  :(  [/quote]

I'm confused, Did you think that your kid was guaranteed a spot just because s/he tried out? That's not how travel works.  Even at larger clubs like VYS that have multiple travel teams in an age group, at some point there are kids that are deemed not ready for travel and are not offered a position.  Now if s/he was on a travel team last year, the coach should have the decency to let you know that your kid might not have a position so you have time to check out other clubs - something that McLean has not taught all of their coaches.

Tell your kid to keep working hard and if they're interested, take advantage of the many training outside opportunities in the area and try again next year.  I know of players who didn't make VYS travel one year that have gone on to make the A team or even win a State Cup at another club.

Don't be too discouraged, but be realistic.[/quote]

So what's the overall outlook for the travel teams going into the next season? Is there a good mix of talent and skill-levels among the age groups for ODSL/NCSL/VPL?[/quote]
