If you’re a parent of a young player, no need to worry. There’s a place for your kid either at McLean or another club. Sometimes it’s a numbers thing for a specific age group, not enough kids to make another team and too many to add all that tried out.

Reach out to clubs and you will find the appropriate environment for your kid. If being on a higher team is important, have your kid put in time with the ball on their own or with a training group and you will be much better prepared for next year.

Hang in there. I know it can feel like life and death but everyone eventually finds their appropriate level. What team you’re on now has very little to do with where they end up in the future.

If we didn’t get an offer does it mean it’s a no? For 1st or 2nd…I assume those teams are filled by now?

I'm not familiar with the boys side - did MYS do the same as with the girls, most of the current Green teams became the MLS Next team then the White team will then fill in for Green, etc.?

Have you seen VPSL standings? Older girls are 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.

McLean don’t have a strong program (boys or girls). They may look good at U12 but after that down they go. I would not even consider the first teams. Too soft unless you don’t mind loosing every weekend.

Sure pal. Likely you got an offer you didn't like from McLean, which means their program is actually stronger than you think your kid is. No parent on this forum has broad, club-wide acceptance info a club's genders, ages, and team colors. The lack of specificity in your claim screams troll, dissatisfied parent, or Arlington booster.

From what I hear they can’t fill the white teams because no one is accepting the offers and they are trying out at Arlington.

I'm wondering same for 2014 girls and 2015 boys

They had a lot of kids at the tryouts. I suspect not everyone will get an offer

I think their girls teams are pretty full to the max from what I heard.

But McLean is so bad after U12. Why wouldn't they move up?

McLean used to be baddies. Then 5 years ago the program collectively sh*t the bed. I’m not going to lie, I love it.

What happened 5 years ago?
