From what is publicly available, Coaches are Davide Battistini (direct from AC Milan and Jamil Faryadi (Long-time coach at McLean). The website says five coaches.

yes, it was pretty well attended. They are testing the waters in the spring and then next fall will be the real thing.

You must be their PR person, LOL. If the tryout was well-attended, they would have posted photos on social media.

Spring will be hard. Super y might have a decent chance since it is independent of clubs.

From what I gathered, practices will be in the Herndon, Sterling area. Most practices will be at KAA in Herndon (where they are holding tryouts).

There is no way they can put any teams together when almost every decent player is committed to a club team for spring already.

What league will they play in?

Where will they practice?

How was the Super Y tryout attendance?

Not sure how many kids they will attract for a Spring season. Most players have already committed through the end of Spring with their current clubs. Tryouts for next fall will be better attended, I would imagine

There is also a Super Y tryout on the 10th and 17th. They are going all out like they are an established club. Will be interesting to see how the tryout and team formation shapes up

Interesting, when did he leave McLean.

were NOT that

I was going to say that fees were that expenvise until I noticed they were just for the spring season. Are they even able to form teams based on who attended the camp? Also doesn't include league fees. That's going back 15 years to when everything was paid separately. I guess it's just for the training.

The 2024 Spring Season Registration Fee are:
U6 - U8 (Pulcini) $615.00
U9-U12 teams $1140.00
U13-U16 teams $1280.00

​

Does NOT include:
League fee
Tournament fees
Mandatory AC Milan Academy Kit
