That was just for the top teams in those age groups. The tryouts for all the NCSL teams isn’t until April.
Right, that was just for “Pre-Academy 1&2.” Red on down is still coming up. The first one must not have been well-attended, bc they are holding another one.
Seemed to be about 60-70 players both times so far. <10 from other programs.

Agreed but that was actually LATE compared to some of their peers. The whole thing is a joke and reflective of an out of control money driven business.
What other U11-U12 for next year girls teams have had tryouts besides Arlington?
I was talking boys. I'm not sure about girls.

I’m not understanding the issue. I’m glad she got to know some of the girls and I met the parents before the full year commitment.
What a sensible and appropriate way to approach a year long financial and parental decision. You must be new here.
The only people who benefit from waiting, waiting, waiting, are the clubs and the families they will subsequently milk.
