How the heck can folks fit in tryouts for more than one team with that requirement?[/quote]
With the low price, small roster size, and reasonable level of competitiveness, the demand for MVSA is high. Unless a player decides they want to play for a higher level team, families are generally pretty loyal to MVSA and will come back year after year, so people are going to prioritize getting to MVSA tryouts.

Because of the long history of the club and length of time MVSA many of their coaches have been around, MVSA is a bit of a throwback. They do little recruiting (although many MCPS HS coaches are MVSA coaches so there is a bit of a pipeline there), they have resisted the trend of teams going to multiple qualifiers, and even their 1s teams go to a lot of regional tournaments. I think sticking with this tried and true formula continues to work for the most part, but I do think as the level of play continues to increase (both locally and nationally) MVSA is going to continue to slip in terms of their teams' rankings within the region. But I don't know that is a concern for the most part. There is always going to be a place for a good quality club at a reasonable price. Every club doesn't need to be striving for open bids and trying to send their entire 18s team to play in college every year. MVSA players who are looking for something more will go to other clubs and will be well trained when they get there.[/quote]

I feel like the slip may be starting for MVSA, many players apparently left this year for other clubs. It felt like a lot more scrambling this year for MVSA, which is surprising because like PP said, they tend to be loyal. Not sure what changed this year.[/quote]

Don't feel sorry for MVSA - they will always attract solid players to their teams. The club might be a bit too loyal to some returning players who don't play that well and this might be the reason why some of the top players decide too look for a more competitive environment. [/quote]
