You realize several girls from Virginia play for M&D, Skywalkers, and hero’s. Just because you saw Maryland backpacks. , doesn’t mean girls are coming from Maryland

Episcopal High School is a lot closer to Moco than Bel Air, MD.


So people from Bel Air MD were trying out?

Yes. DC only has one team as well, so they would rather be on that team than the B team for MD


And also because the tryout location for the DC-Va team is much closer for those in the DC suburbs in MD rather than driving north of Baltimore for a tryout.

We were there for the morning session (2029 and 2027). There were very few 2027 players. 2029 had decent attendees and we saw girls from M&D DC, BLC, Pride, Stars, Yellow Jackets, and a few other clubs. However, we know of many strong players from several clubs who didn’t tryout.


American Select is very expensive compared to some of the other events - does it offer that much more in the way of recruiting??


no

Parents are starting to realize the market is saturated with these events. Back when there were only a few it meant something. The organizers have found the formula for fleecing parents - "Elite" events every weekend.
