Tryouts-stay and watch or go to Starbucks?
« on: February 28, 2007, 12:55:51 AM »

Do you stay and watch with your foot twisting with every play or do you wave bye bye and pick them up afterwards?

I'd stay no matter if they wanted me to go or not. WPFC has a barrier that made the CP's stay off the fields. No biggie, just made it harder to see your kid in the far field

I say keep cp off of field.  I never want to go, it is always like watching a scarey movie - you don't want to but you just can't stop :mrgreen:
I hate this time of year...last year my dd tried out for HS team and had to run 4 miles each day, sometimes uphill.  I drove up and down to see where she was placed (her request) and nearly drove myself around the bend.
All parents should be given blindfold and given liquor :lol:

It would be totally funny to toss back about a half bottle of tequila, dress up like Bill Murray from Caddyshack, then go to the tryout and mix in with the other parents standing at the barrier and start muttering in a low tone, but which can easily be heard...."We're here at River Road...This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story outta nowhere. Former rec player and now about to become a premier champion ... She's on her final scrimmage. She's about 25 yards away, she's gonna hit it I think ... oh....IT'S IN THE NET!....IT'S IN THE NET"   God that would be funny!   :lol:   Of course your DD would have to get a ride to and from the tryout from someone else.   :lol:  :lol:

Stay and watch.............and LISTEN.........
Its fun to stand in the middle of a bunch of parents and listen to them talk about different girls. Especially when you can tell what kid they are talking about.

Maybe so.  :mrgreen:  hehehehehhehe

I could hear people talking about specific girls. It was kind of funny that they would discuss them loud enough for everyone around them to hear. :roll:
Especially when they didnt realize the kids parent was standing right in front of them.....  ;)

Ah, the reason I like the English and all my Irish relatives so much! Just think of the numbers we could have at tryouts if we offered a pint of Guinness to the parents as they watched from the sidelines.

True, true, but then the club may have to raise the tryout fee to $12 and then people would really go nuts over the 20% increase!   :lol:

I always suggest to my parents to not even mention tryouts to their dd and what they have to remember and focus on and think about and try hard, and drink your water, and be busy, and so on so on so on... parents add sooooo much added pressure.... WHY??
I have never understood the build up.... let the kid go do his/her thing... they will end up where they should end up.....


drop them off for sure!!!!
