If you live on LI & weren't approached by Taz or WP coach cuz your team hasn't played at the same tournaments but think your son is a true A player, should you bother sending him to tryouts or is it a waist of time & money. His stick skills, aggressiveness & game IQ is there & size is decent just not huge but is it worth playing for teams like that? Do they already have their team determined? Other club coaches have spoken to us but should I even have him bother trying for them?

If you go, for the 75/100 bucks, you can get an idea for yourself if he is as good as you think. But you have to be very honest with yourself and your boy. The open spots are few, maybe 3 or 4 so its tough, no doubt. But the speed of the tryouts for these teams is an eye opener. It was for me and for my son. His first reaction was, "I better work on my left hand", for the next year. He came back and made a top team. But he really worked a full year to get better.
