What was so unstable about the coaching situation this year or last year?
Ummmmm... losing DB last year (who pretty much developed the uLittles girls side) and losing your TD this year to The Onion.
That is a funny way to spell “recruited”.
Huh? Not talking about recruiting, we're talking about coaching stability. Try and keep up with the conversation.
LOL previous poster was stating that DB didn't develop, he supposedly recruited. Keep Up. LOL

Their top teams are pretty full and packed. Not much room and very hard to break in. You may want to have backup options for tryouts.
We didn’t bother for our 2014 son. He’s on a top team now, but not one that is quite as strong as McLean. We figured the odds of breaking in were slim to none. It seems like next year is when there will be more movement for 2014 as kids try for the higher level leagues.
Exactly! McLean is packed in tight in their U12 and below, but as soon as they hit U13 and above they are desperate for talent. Perhaps that is something they need to address before considering them. Look for a club that is more evenly talented from young to older.
