if your kid isn't all in on American Select for whatever reason, club, friends or anything else definitely All-American and save on travel and hotel

which year?
The year that matters - 2028.
This aligns with what I've heard from actual real people, not just from other DCUM threads. This year, several strong 2028 players in the area are expected to try out for AA. Everyone likely has their own list of top players, but I know of at least 10 of my top players who plan to try out for AA.
That’s great but keep in mind, next year, when there is no tryout, they will invite the kids with best commits, many will be AS kids.
Recruiting, you’ll get more traction from AS.
I think we may be talking about the same group of players and I understand they are trying out for AA not AS.
Yes, players from top clubs in DC and MD are trying out for AA not AS.
The AA Baltimore team already formed, so do you mean the DC tryout?
Yes. DC team tryouts are on 3/15.

This is not true, maybe for the senior games, but if you look at many of the Highlight division teams, large number are the same girls who played AA last year or so.
