My kid did not have a single SYC player on their team last year. Maybe that’s more on the boys side?

Not this outfit, they are only interested in skilled and hardworking kids. I don't get the sense they are interested in creating multiple teams.

They are going to offer it spots to returning players who also signs up for their private training. Win Win for them.

All while collecting $25 tryout fees from the 200+ kids trying out. Do the math.

I’ve shopped around and it doesn’t seem like many places have two tryouts a week aport. What is everyone else seeing?

I heard they are waiting to see all the kids that couldn’t make it to the tryouts last weekend due to tournaments, yet nearly everyone there made it despite tournaments and are now told that they have to wait to compete with the players that were not committed enough to make the first tryout. Sounds fishy to me.

They most likely only sent out offers to SYC players or are at least waiting for SYC players to come to the second tryout and give them first right of refusal. I think SYC has some exclusivity with them and the rest can fill in the gaps.

So then it’s not exactly club neutral?

No affiliation this year. They offered a couple trainings for ayc players last year. Nothing this

Returning player and got the offer letter. Re: the above, at least on the boys side, there is enough talent to make two competitive teams in a few of the age groups (2010, 2011, 2015, maybe 2016). Not sure about girls side.

Is your dc an Arlington player? Is Arlington Futsal open to anyone or exclusively to Arlington club members only? Saw their page and it looks good, but tryouts are also this weekend.

There should be a lot available. Ask your current travel coach for recommendations. They should field a team for your group, but if they are not then they will certainly have options for your DC.

We've done the program and will be doing it again this year. Unless a player is a total standout or an otherwise known entity, they definitely prefer to see the kids twice before making an offer. At least speaking for last year, there were a good number of kids who did not get offers after one night who did receive them after a second practice/tryout.

I must add that my player is new to the program.

No offer here. I guess will wait for second trout. My player did very well on the first one.
