[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Were they previously on the travel team, or just starting out?

Heard a lot of kids did not. What age group? Some had a significant amount of kids trying out.[/quote]

Yikes, but I hear this is happening all over.  Maybe some new clubs will come out of it.[/quote]

The switch to birth-year age groups will create a lot of chaos this year.

Let's say your club has four U9 teams and four U10 teams -- 11 players per team, 44 players total.

Now let's say the U9s are mostly 2006 birthdates -- maybe 33 of the 44 players.

And let's say the U10s have a more even split between 2005 and 2006 -- 22/22.

So from these two age groups, you'll have:
11 2007s (lots of openings at U10 for current crop of older U8s)
55 2006s (overload at U11)

Another club might have slightly different age demographics, and perhaps they'll actually have openings at U11 but not much at U10 or U12.

Yeah that's just how the cookie crumbles this year. Coaches and technical staff have a tougher job this year figuring out how to allocate team selections. Not everyone is going to get what they want.
