The Gerstell situation is unfortunate. Not a bad player, but in no way near the level of play of the callbacks at this tryout. Much better players in that position were cut, even before the call-back game. Sports parenting gone awry, and awkward for the player. I can see throwing the coaches a bone if it's close, but the event director should have stepped in on this one. It's a bad look for an event that they keep insisting is 100% fair.

And what was up with the goalie situation? I saw a lot of good goalies trying out and what I watched in the call back game was not the best I noticed on the field before. As a Dad of a defensive player, these high-level teams need athletic goalies. Athleticism has to be considered for these goalie positions.
