not sure what "league" you are talking about, but all the travel teams will have better coaching then PAL. I would think. As far as tryout size I think the few I went to last year had maybe 75. All depends if there is another team running tryouts same day. And agreed, there are a few overlaps. Its big $$ for these teams, so the more the merrier. I would bet that 2/3 of the team you are trying out for is already set, maybe more. Most importantly, HAVE FUN
