The experience is not the tryouts, it is the tournament, and it should be epic judging by the other rosters. Looking at the talent that participated, both MD teams should be strong. No clue if they do A/B, or even teams, but a lot of talent to go around. Yes, there were a few girls who got cut that are amazing players, but the ones at the end are excellent for sure. There was one coppermine and one m&d that got cut that are amazing players and it was a raw deal. Teams should be a lot of heros green, some m&d, some coppermine, with sprinkles of integrity, mdu, and blc, maybe a SW or two. Only two goalies showed up, but they both played awesome, so teams should be set to compete.
I agree with this statement. All the m&d (3) and Coppermine (3) girls that didn’t make call backs are very good players. The Coppermine girls shocked me. Arguably their top 2 players got sent home. Heros and M&D both had 9 girls make call backs. Which isn’t surprising given both teams had excellent seasons. It will be interesting to see how the teams shake out. Any girl that attended tryouts could have made another regional team. The talent level in Maryland is unmatched.
If your DD doesn’t make it there is nothing to hang their head about. There are several hundred NGLL club girls alone at this age in MD. To take a chance and put yourself out there against great competition is something to be proud of. Hopefully, when the teams are announced, this board remembers these are 13 year old girls. This isn’t the end of their journey regardless of the outcome.
