Nope. I know a kid who isn’t affiliated that organization and probably their best player.
Very true. 100% this happened with Reston. Have you seen their record/scores? Totally unfair.
I don’t get how this is fun or useful for that team to play in a league with no competition.
Those kids live in Reston. They are just better than the other teams.
They have a huge advantage if they play together year round. This league isn’t meant for AAU teams.
Most AAU players play county. Some of the better teams are all one AAU team, but some of the best are zip codes that happen to have very good AAU players from different teams
If teams are formed in October naturally and follow the zip code requirements and just happen to have bunch of really good kids who play year-round, that's one thing (although would still argue year-round basketball-only focus isn't what county league designed to provide). But full AAU teams - or super teams of couple AAU teams combined - with kids who play together year-round is well beyond mission of county league. And FCYBL is promoting this by not doing simple zip code certification they've always done...
Not sure what these AAU or AAU-hybrid teams get out of it. They dominate teams made up of kids who just started playing together couple months ago and win every game by 30-40 points. Great. As a coach, would worry that those kids would get lazy or develop bad habits that would be costly when they "re-hit" the AAU circuit...
Maybe they should not allow zip code exceptions, that's how these teams are able to do this.
I think they should get rid of the zip code limitations. A kid should be good as long as they live in the county.
That would be the opposite to the whole purpose and existence of the league.

Like Reston. They are AAU but not on the same team. Same thing with McLean.
The McLean team has kids from Nova 94 plus a different AAU team?

The league said they weren’t verifying zip codes this year and it was on their honor system..... I guess it’s possible the entire nova cavs team lives in the same three zip codes in Reston.

So obvious in 7th grade D1 who the truly local “just tried out in October” teams are and who the secret zip code cheating AAU teams are. Look at poor SYA. They have a B team doing well in D2 which means their A team should be competitive in a D1 league of normal teams.

“Mostly or entirely”...so you are saying it’s “mostly”.
