I don't know but they would all have their tryouts over the same weekend.
Yes, I suspect as much. Really hate that the teams do that here.
How else would you have them do it?
Stagger them, like it was in Mid Atlantic area or Colorado, where my kid has played in the past.
Interesting...how does that work? How do they decide which club gets have tryouts first?
thus, the inherent problem, no club will want sloppy seconds, or worse, thirds, or fourths...
From what was experienced, clubs will get certain kids regardless. As is here, many have kids that have been part of the same group brought up the ranks. The other aspect is that some kids will be in certain programs because of the ciaching and potential for exposure.
Here, kids are forced to go to one program. It may not work out for a variety of reasons. Then what? If all things are considered equal, then programs hold tryouts based on their needs, and accommodate all potential players that want to consider that particular club. Just look at what happened in this area last season.
Wave Bantam AAA didn't get numbers. Does that mean when they had to try out elsewhere, they were considered "sloppy seconds?" Or the kids that tried out for JK U16 AA?? Some talented kids ended up elsewhere, and were hardly "sloppy seconds." But maybe too, they were disappointed in having to end up on a team they really didn't want to be on.
