Thanks to all the current parents sharing feedback.

Is anyone familiar with the 2011 boys age group? At the second tryout yesterday based on all the Herndon practice jerseys it looked like there would be few if any open spots for new players on either of the teams. Will they move current players up or down or cut kids who have played on the red team for new players? Have they sent out any offers yet?

His current team is toxic and ds needs a fresh start so just trying to gage the chances. The field he was on last night was almost all not wearing Herndon shirts which seemed like a bad indicator to me.

Abdi has been coaching with HYS (not new). He is friendly and personable. No concerns.

Yes.



Perhaps returning players.

There are currently 3 teams. They have started giving offers out. The weather and spring break timing wasn't ideal, try-outs are continuing this week.

The black team coach for next year is an excellent coach. No idea about how many kids are returning sorry.

Same. We have been happy with both our boys' Herndon coaches.

How would anybody know that?

My daughter is a current hys player and got an offer after the first tryout session.

HYS on the girls side usually is drama-free among players and parents. No super stars, no major egos either. If you daughter wants to make friends, stay fit, have some challenges, hys is a good fit. If you think she is D1 material, move on.
Now, there is drama with coaches, board members, etc…. as in most clubs in the area.


I know a couple girls in the last few years that did not get an invite. But overall, I think most get accepted especially if they are coach-able and have skill.
