I'm guess that all of you '93's are as anxious as me to get going on the tryouts next week. Anyone attending multiple tryouts or pretty much sticking with the saem teams?

OK, no prob

I find tryouts a difficult time.U-13 brings in a whole new aspect. It is the first dip into state-wide leagues. Although I haven't been through tryouts at U-13 and won't this year, I would imagine coaches looking to really start stabilizing thier teams, not a whole lot of movement. :?

It's interesting no word of the CDL before tryouts. Word out on that would be HUGE in U-13 IMO.

It's going to be a bit tricky to do that down here in SW with all three ALC teams having tryouts back to back in different parts of town on the same night. Technically, the kids could go to each of the team's (CTPSC-Sat, FCSC-Wed, FCV-Thur) second tryout only and still make the team. Coach's are going to be stressing I bet if one kid tried out for either FCSC or FCV but won't make a decision until Sat when they know the CTPSC fate. Very interesting.

I personally like the Brookies! Consider using a red carrie or a wedding ring spinner, they like those! Just having fun, momskick! Seriously, check out the EFC 93 team. Great coaching for both the Red and White teams!

methinks the 'smart' teams will offer spots on Monday right after the first try out and pretty much fill their rosters. I know of at least one club that is going to ask if anyone is trying out for another team to please raise their hand. The emphasis for evaluators will then be on the other players.

If you have a club in mind you want your DD to play on I'd be there Monday night. FWIW

If that is the case, I would tell my daughter not to raise her hand. Why would you ignore a potential player?

Interesting comment No soup. I guess those teams and evaluators who look over good talent just because they are trying out for more than one team might not be a good fit for player. It is foolish to put all your egss out in one basket. If that is all they base it on how loyal are they ultimately in the end?

I think kids should go to the club they most want to play for first.

If a kid is unsure the kid next in line may miss out being on their first choice team, that's not fair to the kid who is committed to that team/club.

I think it's the most loyal way to do it. The team is basically saying that they want committed/loyal players on this team first. So even if the higher ranked kid comes back in a couple days after not making their other pick the kid who WAS picked is secure and ON the team. The team IS loyal to her, even though a higher rated player has changed their mind.

in Vancouver it's all three premier clubs, at slightly different times. FC Van, CPSC/Eisenhower and FCSC all start Monday night. FC Van has #2 Thursday, FCSC on Wed and CPSC/Eisenhower on Sat.

Actually that point is a fair one but I am referring to coaches who offer spots prior to tryouts and I am also referring to players who in there mind might have a team as a first choice but until she attends tryouts ask questions from coach what her potential role is etc etc can she make a decision. Similar to going on a job interview. Do you always work at your first choice before asking valid questions on the position opening? After you have had a chance to get your questions answered on the fit then sure it is not right to put that prospective team on hold.

I agree w/you here. But honestly, for most kids playing up, they know coaches, they know teams, they know their own skill level, they know pretty much which position they're trying out for. And hopefully, like we do, we've been around to all the clubs over the past 3 or 4 months. We've guest played on their indoor team, we've sat in at practices, we've talked to other parents. Team scouting should be done way before try-outs. Coaches do it, shouldn't we ?

As for coaches 'pre-selecting' their team ? Come on, we all know it happens, it's not supposed to, but it does. Not fair ? Certainly not, but again, sports is tough and competitive, so is life. I want my kids prepared for life.

There really is no totally fair way to have try-outs. In truth, try-outs are not fair, the spots go to the best athletes with the most skill. That isn't fair to kids who have neither, but it's how sports and life really is.

When I go to a job interview I have a pretty good idea of what I'm looking for. If a job is offered to me and I choose to think about it, I know I may 'think about' my way out of that job. And the employer will tell me "we are looking to fill this position, if you do not accept it now we will continue to interview until we do so".

which is why you should always scout long before tryouts, tryouts are for trying out for the team of choice, not deciding which team you like. its the most fair way overall.

PoolFan · « **Reply #24 on:** March 14, 2006, 06:02:43 PM »

Is it fair that a coach wait for a child and their parents to decide what team they want to be with for the year? Should the coach hold off on calling players who may really want to play with his team, while others decide. Try out for the team that you want to be with, but please don't expect to make other 10, 11, 12,... year olds wait for their call.

Yes I agree but when you have it narrowed down to say two or three is it fair for that team to basically make the player committ before they have tried out for the other?

This is probably a little late in the trouts (I think that's funny too) season for this but....

Unless your coach says to you before tryouts - don't worry you've already made the team - You should be trying out or planning to tryout for other teams.

The coach is not nearly as loyal to the kids as you might think. A better soccer player comes to your tryout - look out. My oldest DD learned this the hard way (twice - ouch).

Always have a plan B. If you think it's political now just wait until U14.

Been there, doing that. We know which team we WANT to be on, but we need to be realistic that we may NOT end up on that team.
We know there are other girls out there that are better at something that our DD's are average at, and others are average where our dd's are better. Its just what the coaches "see" at the point when they look at our dd's
This is the "stomach tied in klnots" part. Can she make herself known on the field with 40-50 other hopefuls? I hope so. We have already seen someone not make a team of choice on this site, so we know it happens.

I guess I'll have to wait until Sunday or Monday to find out for my DD.
