I’d try a few other GA tryouts before I took an Aspire offer.

Understood. Of course there is the 48 hour deadline to accept.
We're coming from a smaller club that maxed out in NCSL.

Just tell them you need a bit more time to decide. Clubs don’t pull offers.

You are going to run into an issue with the snow storm. Tryouts will be delayed a few weeks.

This is my worry. Won't be able to check out other clubs with the snow.
DD was invited out for an ID session a couple weeks ago at McLean, but we haven't received any feedback yet.

If the coach didn’t ask to talk to you after then not promising. That 2014 team is pretty much set. While I’m sure the SYC Aspire team will be competitive, I am not sure you are buying much by asking for more time. It stinks, but you kind of set yourself up for this situation. Personally, I would just mentally prepare for other teams. FVU might be the best option to make a first team if that is the goal otherwise RL tryouts are in March and there should be some competitive teams looking for backfilling players that go to ECNL or elsewhere.

SYC's Aspire teams are pretty competitive so if going there from a small club that only offers NCSL, it's not bad. Likely that the u13 aspire is higher level than the current club. If you think your kid is a baller than take them to be seen at other clubs. It's difficult to make some of these club's top teams that have established teams and players. There may be room for 1-2 outside players.

This was probably the type of feedback requested. Both the U13 Aspire and U14 Pre-GA II teams look to be competitive. Especially compared to smaller clubs. If your DD is repeating U13, she should have a good start. Get your foot in the door and let her show that's she capable of more. They liked something if they offered a spot after the 1st session

SYC has a few Q4 coming down for u13 to play again. Will be tough to make that team. But they could increase the roster.

The U13 GA or Aspire team? Or both?

Both.

So are U13 rosters pretty much set then if they have some Q4 girls coming down to bolster teams?

For NVA, Yes. They already had 17 kids this year. There are a few who will probably move down, so a few spots for 2013 Q4s, but other than that it is set. Last year for example, the teams were made before tryouts. Everyone else who showed up just didnt know it.

The top girls will be able to play up.

But of course every parent will think their kid is a top player. It’s going to get messy. But ultimately, either the kid threatening to leave will decide to stay at play at the new grouping or they won’t. It’s that simple. I think the clubs have more power. They can allow everyone to attend an ID session and then simply not select your kid.

Agree, All parents whose kids play up think their kids are the best. Clubs need to hold their ground and stop this. Just go by the rules. I’m sure Q4 kids from 2013 playing down will not have a problem. Don’t let these play-up parents intimidate you. If every club honors the same rule, they’ll have nowhere to go. It will save everyone a headache.

There is no chance Coach Daddy sticks to these rules. I dont know how parents let their kids play in that situation.

I can’t believe this is going on. I didn’t believe it until I looked it up myself.

Most teams will have 2-3 players as Q4. Probably slightly higher as you get to B and C teams. This is how statistics work.

There are 10 kids repeating an age group from the top 2 teams in my DCs BY right now.

Wow. Yeah we have at least 5 on our top team. I assume second team to be similar. It will definitely create a shift for the teams moving up into the age group our kid is repeating.

Only top teams should have Q4 players. B and C teams should focus on developing the players
of the correct age group to promote them to the higher team.
