Nearly all clubs have equal or close to equal PT in HS, no one is riding the bench.


Hmm not sure if this is true. Some clubs do equal PT. Dont think Heros, Mnd, Cop, or MDU do it.

I think those comments were intended for sarcasm. YJ is a solid A team and they have some good players.

I’m not sure we should be bashing middle school girls on the internet.

YJDMV are a top 30 or so team in the country. That’s pretty dam good in any sport

Other teams offer better competition. Practicing with better players, and if they are playing, doing so against better competition.


It’s still an interesting choice in middle school of whether you want to be one of the best players on an ok team and get tons of playing time or travel to Baltimore several times a week to fight to play half a game at most. I’m not sure there’s a right answer at this age.


If you’re good enough you’re not fighting for playing time. The teams in the close dmv have 1 or 2 players that would make an impact on a Baltimore team. But back to original statement is that yjma has 5-6 players that could play anywhere, I’m not sure that is the case.


Yeah, those girls are all terrible.

Yes, but the evaluators were also from those two mentioned club teams


All of these tryouts are political, you see whose parents or coaches are connected to the evaluators and that’s the only way the rosters make sense.

That’s not true. You say they have bigger rosters and then small amount of girls who show up somehow? They all have rosters of 20+ and those girls don’t miss games.

I think YJ has 5 players who are competitive with players from top teams, but those top teams have players in every position of that caliber. Some of these girls play together in other teams or at school.


You still didn’t answer the question. If these girls can play anywhere why are they not at an mnd or Md united or hero’s? If they were that good there would be back channels being worked to get them over.


Who says thats not happening right now? IYKYK.


Nice try.
