Sonyhe ted teams might really be like the C teams then.

It's marketing genius. The gloating dads at my office talking about how their son is now on the red team. Well--24 kids just add it above him...

24 kids at U12??!?!!

The red team had 12 players.

It's good they have 100 kids in the age group so the C/D team can fill the A/B team spots. What do these kids think will happen when these 24 kids are released back down into the pool in 2 years? Are most of the 24 DA kids from Arlington?

They just changed the level designations.

For U11 there is, in order of skill level:
Academy 1
Academy 2
Blue
Green
White

Could be more depending on how many people tried out.

Dumb question, but is your list in ascending or descending order? Ie, is Academy 1 the best players or is white? DD has a friend who said she made it onto a green BSC team and she hasn't been playing all that long.

A1 is the best.
So this year, green would have been the 2nd best team, for the upcoming year it's the 4th best.

Arlington is the same for 06, 05 and 04 boys.

Red team is no longer A team. The DA teams are now the A team in each age group.

Red is now B team.
White is now C team.
Blue is now D team.

How big are the rosters for the DA teams? How many kids per age group?

I don't understand. What is there to be upset about?

at the parent meeting they said they might have two teams for this age group. there seemed to be enough kids for two teams at the tryouts but they have only announced one team.

There were not enough 2009s at the tryouts for two teams. The tryout was a combined 2009, 2008s, and 2007s...so that's why it looked like enough kids for two 2009 teams. Plus, some kids did not accept offers. I heard there will be one 2009 team, one 2008 team, and NO 2007 team (not enough kids for even one team). Sure, the hope is to have two teams per age group, so that at U13 you have enough kids who trained together for a while under the same philosophy to create an 11v11 team. So are you upset because your kid didn't get an offer and he probably would if there was a 2nd team?

How many teams at U10?

I suspect they are still trying to make 1

Anonymous wrote:Yes to 21:07's post. Several families we know tried out for the 2009 girls team recently. One girl heard sooner than the others - she's better than the others, and was likely one of the coach's first pics for his 2nd best team. A couple other girls heard a bit after that, and one heard right before the results were posted. I think they may have had trouble figuring out where she belonged in the hierarchy - she's pretty good but not as obviously awesome as the first girl, and she's on the small side. (she ended up on a good team too, though.)

I'm glad to hear things worked out in the end, it is hard to be on the late end of notifications.

Yes, they changed it for the upcoming year...see previous posts.
