At the tryout, there were kids that were invited. The coaches knew their names and kept those kids on the field the entire time. For top teams,you are wasting your time if you weren't invite to the tryout. You could see players from other top 2023 teams getting all the attention.
Does your kid palm on S2S or was he invited to try out? Seems you were there. Curious what top teams you were seeing there. It seemed that they had a full roster last year. So are they losing players to attrition or will they be replacing kids?4
