Not really. Rarely are no spots available at all. If you reached out right now I can almost guarantee your get invited to a practice to ID. I know a number of second and third teams at a couple local clubs to us clubs with open roster spots for summer IDs.


+1

Even if you tried out and haven't heard anything I'd contact the director of for the age group you're in and ask to come ID with the club. You'd be surprised how many rec kids do this in August and make teams, and not even the bottom team.

The reality is that most clubs are working overtime to kick off fall season league and player registrations. Many e-mails are being ignored right now, unfortunately. Not speaking for Loudoun Soccer specifically, but if you want your kid to jump on one of their travel teams, the big secret is, being at a practice receives far more attention than 20 e-mails ever will. Just bring your kid to practice of the age group of your kid a few times; tell the coach you want to play, and if they aren't full, they will usually take your kid. The only reasons they wouldn't take your kid: is if they are full (every league has a roster maximum) or your kid really doesn't seem to want to be there (not shy, but won't listen to the coach and even says they don't want to be there to the coach) and/or they are too small (like very small and timid). -good luck!

So many girls at the tryout I think over 70+ wonder if she gonna get an offer from any team, the lower team is worth it? Or should I just go back to rec and tryouts for another year?


70+ girls! That is a huge pool of players, How many teams do they have for that age?


Is this for rising U11? I heard there were twice that many boys at Loudoun tryouts for that age group. Other tryouts we’ve been to have had 120 boys show up. A tryout with “only” 70 would be jice.


My son is 2013. There were 150 boys there for tryouts 😩



150! No chance for kids from outside LS to make it to the top team?
Pretty much nope unless they ID your kid from season games.


DS comes from another club outside Loudoun never had an ID session, got an offer on the top team, Anything possible!


Things that never happened for 500 😂


BS! I know several players on both my son and daughter's teams that had outside players accept top team (A and B) spots! It happens all the time. LS needs the talent since they can't develop it themselves outside of the U-little Academy.


Not that don't ID ahead of time. ROFL picking up multiple random kids they've not seen already during tryouts? What horrible fanfiction lol definitely things that didn't happen for 500


Not total BS. LS will pickup kids if they are coming from another clubs top 1 or 2 teams.


Not if they haven't ID'd. How dense are you?


LS only cares about bringing in more money. They don't have to hold a session if they don't want.


Once again, you have no idea what you're talking about. They 100% care who is on their top teams and have spots slotted to be filled by specific kids before tryouts. All the lower teams? Sure, they'd take outside money over promoting from within. Not the ECNL or pre-ecnl teams, though. Myself and others we know got literal emails inviting us to ID in March prior to tryouts. Not a single player was offered a spot on the top team for our age and the one above and below that didn't ID. I know this people people talk lol. If someone tells you they just showed up for a tryout at basically any program and made their top team without ever being seen by the coach prior, they're lying to you. All the clubs reach out to potential players ahead of time and it's completely normal for parents to each out to clubs to ID over winter to see the kid in a practice environment prior to tryouts.
