It's just a money grab. Instead of allowing the top kids to be locks for his Orange team, he is making eveyrone try out which means more tryout fees, even though those kids were on the team before they set foot on the field.

And instead of one B team, he is splitting the Blue kids into two teams, making them even weaker. The kids who stay in the program but don't make the Orange team are the ones who will suffer.

Don't know about the VA tryouts but we were there at the MD ones and the turnout was pretty bad.
