Academy Tryouts?

to think that your kid didn't get a spot on a academy team or maybe even one of the top flight teams because lil cousin jimmy took your spot is ridiculous c'mon are you serious?
Some of the older DA teams we go watch in LA and OC are fun , fast and talented and to take that away from these hard working kids that make it , Id say the majority of them work their A$% off to make a good squad (team)
 
There's a variety of ways you can make high-level teams: many times it's the coach's decision you know he's seen your player before he's heard about them, likes your player.

Sometimes connections do help: director of affiliate, coaches associates will recommend player(s), somebody son of a high-level guy in the organization might get some preferential treatment but they all have to some skills and show well.

Other times can be players who impress at the tryouts look great in the scrimmages works harder than just about anybody else is really eager, etc.

Know one size fits all and can be a combination of things so have your player put in their best effort and have them communication with the coach's after/before each session rather than you. Leadership, citizenship, and being a team player sometimes can make the difference.
