[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will Pride and Stars girls be trying out for the American Select Virginia team this year?[/quote]

Pretty likely.

All America is at the same time, as well.[/quote]

I hope the VA team is more competitive than it was last year (if girls see this as more desirable than All America). [/quote]

Unfortunately, I don’t think the objective is to put together a truly competitive team. This does not make sense to me, but it seems to be true.  [/quote]

It definitely appeared to be the objective of several of the other regions.  I don't believe it was a talent deficit.  DD told me the other regions said that they practiced together starting after selection.  You can see on the Am Select page that many have coaches named already, etc.  Not yet for DC/VA.[/quote]

It is perplexing. I would think Stars and Pride and whomever else would have their top players trying out to compete with the Long Island, Maryland and other teams out there. Looked like a really fun tournament last year. Hope the top VA kids give it a hard look. [/quote]

Money grab.  The good Pride players should try out for team Maryland.  The DC team can be the rest of Stars. [/quote]

Yeah, it’s a money grab but if the VA kids want to play against the best we should put our all stars together to play the best. Would be exciting to watch. [/quote]

Agree that it would be exciting to watch the best players in the area play together, but I disagree that it's a "money grab".

I fully understand why some very good players/families chose not to try-out/participate at the tail end of a busy summer season for the 2028s (6 tournaments).  And there were certainly no college coaches watching middle school.

That said, from my perspective, it was a great experience for my DD to play with different and talented players outside of her club, and against the best from other regions.  If more girls come out this year as it gets closer to high school years and the recruiting process, and there is some additional effort to practice together in advance, DC-VA region will be very competitive.

(Maryland didn't win it at any age level last year, by the way; their top players seemed to pick Athletes Unlimited last year.)
