[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people just don’t want to  acknowledging how bad the Alexandria MLS teams currently are.  Cant blame them.  Hopefully the future is better for that club.  [/quote]

Among MLS Next teams in area (other than DCU), only the following are ranked higher in each group

05/06:  Bethesda, Armour (barely)

07:  Nobody

08:  Armour

09:  SYC, Bethesda, Armour

10:  SYC, Bethesda, Armour

011: SYC (barely)

So Armour is ahead in 4/6, Bethesda and SYC are ahead in 3/6.  I'd say that's pretty solid.

When are the tryouts for these teams? We’re thinking about leaving current club. [/quote]

Don't all these teams advertise tryouts on their social media pages?[/quote]

Yes, but the best way to get on them is to reach out to coaches to see if your kid can attend a practice. [/quote]
1000% Waiting for and just showing up at tryouts puts you at a disadvantage to make the team. What if your kid gets sick or has a conflict with the tryout date? It can be hard to stand out among a lot of other kids at the tryout. Joining a practice before tryouts lets the coach see how you compare with the current players. You and your kid will also get a better feel for what the team and coach is like in a real practice. Assuming the practice goes well by the time actual tryouts come along your player is known familiar quantity, with familiar connections to the other players.[/quote]

As a coach I encourage all parents to do this, as as much research you can to find the right team for your child. Go to a practice (or several), go to a game (or two) and see how they play, how the coach behaves, etc. A few extra hours of research can save a year's worth of pain and regret.[/quote]
