Last year half of a certain years selection was keepers! Good for your kid. They tend to do well.

My GK just got the invite. (MD ODP) Is this really a competitive invite, or do a high percentage of players (or GKs) get to go? What exactly do they do that weekend? Is it basically just a tryout for the inter-regional event in Florida?

Have you heard anything since that 2010 notified?

Congrats to him and you! This is a good confidence builder and more importantly a lesson to him that hard work will have a reward.

For those who did not get a regional invite, remember that this is all subjective at the end of the day, the opinion of a couple scouts and based mostly just 1 day's performance.

Every player who participated this pastbwknd has amazing potential.
The ones who will make it from here on out are tge ones who work hardest.

If you didnt make it, use that as fuel to work even harder.

I wonder why they can't just send out a blast email to say "Invitations have been sent, if you didn't receive one, thanks for your participation this season." So at least you know your status.

My guy, why aren't U-turns and left turns disallowed - that's my only complaint



YES!! WHY CANT YOU TURN LEFT IN NJ?!?!


And why can't you pump your own gas?

Interesting. Our team practiced Monday nights at 7:30 an hour away from most, and only played MD and VA friendlies. That was it. I don’t think the coaches even know my kids name.
