Will we see a lot of movement? Pre Covid not much movement at 9th grade. Is this the new norm going forward? Maybe a club should lead the way with blunt honesty and rank their own position players by rank. Are you the last defender or middle? Just tell each girl their rank and not the whole list. This would give girls/ families reassurance or the impetus to tryout elsewhere. My prediction is that tryouts will really benefit M&D, sneaky going first. Huge advantage. At this age player base in the area knows a lot about each other and teams. Coppermine, Hoco, Integrity, MC elite, MD united, and even Redshirts should be getting in on trying to get players from the big 3 especially from their b teams where there is some talent. Time will tell. Default would be status quo big 3 accumulate even more talent. That next tier of clubs should give it a shot and not go quitely into the fall.
M&D definitely has an advantage. Girls have to commit before Hero's even have their tryouts. If clubs have tryouts on Saturday and are playing in the Mid Atlantic they miss out on those tryouts too.
