The try out format alone tells you that once on a team its nearly impossible to be bumped, unless underhanded deals and politics get the better of you. When you are told to wear your previous year pinnie to try outs you know the fix is in. A fair try out would have no names of schools, previous years numbers, affiliations or markings of any sort allowed to be worn on a player. Black shorts, white top, number supplied by club via pinnie, or marathon placard.


I've been to one YJ tryout and it was as you stated. It's a complete lack of pretense of a level playing field. I know in reality the evaluators know who is who and on which team the girl played last year, but it's just really off-putting to show up and see the blue girls off on their own, having a private tryout while the rest of the age group is lumped together.

Why do they do this?
