Tryout is a loose term for Capital. If you don’t have a good idea your DD will make the team going into the tryouts then you are not in the know. Tryouts are not for 20-21 spots, maybe 3-5.
I am sorry to be repetitive here, but I think you have it backwards. There are maybe 3-5 locked down spots and the rest are up for grabs.
Nope. Have had two go through the process. Work the room. The team is pretty much know before tryouts.
How do you know this? Is it just Stars and Pride players who have locks on spots at 2028? I was the one who posted about trying out for a MD club and if it is just going to be Pride and Stars then I am inclined to try a MD team.
Trust me, Capital loves to grab girls from all over. They will pick a lot from Stars and Pride, but they are definitely going to be picking girls from a lot of other clubs too
I hope so. Reading this thread and it sounds like Capital has already decided on the girls (which I am sure is true to some extent just want to keep options open with other clubs - and no, I am not trying to start a MD v Capital debate).
They haven’t decided. These comments are from parents pushing this narrative trying to oversell their below average player making Capital

If possible, will definitely have my DD tryout for multiple clubs next year. Would love for her to make Capital but not buying all the hype.

What do you mean by work the room? How exactly do we position our girls to be noticed before tryouts? - parent of a 2029

Good luck in md. Those teams are pretty much set unless you are a top tier player. There’s under a handful of this in nova.

I’m telling you. There are only 5. Count them out.

LOL, the Stars parents think they don’t even have to tryout.

To be clear, I mean tryout for Cap and a top MD team with Cap being the preferred team.

Pretty likely.
All America is at the same time, as well.
I hope the VA team is more competitive than it was last year (if girls see this as more desirable than All America).
Unfortunately, I don’t think the objective is to put together a truly competitive team. This does not make sense to me, but it seems to be true.
It definitely appeared to be the objective of several of the other regions. I don't believe it was a talent deficit. DD told me the other regions said that they practiced together starting after selection. You can see on the Am Select page that many have coaches named already, etc. Not yet for DC/VA.
It is perplexing. I would think Stars and Pride and whomever else would have their top players trying out to compete with the Long Island, Maryland and other teams out there. Looked like a really fun tournament last year. Hope the top VA kids give it a hard look.
Money grab. The good Pride players should try out for team Maryland. The DC team can be the rest of Stars.
This is not a great take for a couple of reasons. I'll focus on the first one. "Money grab" gets thrown around a lot on these threads. Kind of a meaningless phrase on its own.
The opportunity to make a profit is the only reason that these tournaments exist and provide opportunities for our kids. It costs money to rent facilities, hire referees, provide trainers, security, etc. It is not realistic to expect there to be some non-profit consortium working to organize these complicated events, right? If you are saying that this particular event does not provide the value for the money, then some facts to back up that statement would be warranted.
One caveat, if you were referring to the outrageous daily parking charges at DE Turf Complex, than I agree strongly...
I always choose to engage in civil disobedience: never pay the Frederica fee.
Never once paid it either.
Scofflaws...
I guess the joke is on me.
I love a good caper.
