Can someone explain why CR was on the field with clipboard in hand clearly evaluating and selecting her YJ girls yesterday at the UA tryouts? UA definitely needs to revamp the selection process. There should be no LI club or team coaches evaluating or coaching at this event, and definitely not if they have a child also trying out. Some of these coaches insist on coaching year after year to guarantee their kid deserving or not a spot on the team e.g The highlight coach who also has a kid trying out,Politics at it's best. Several conflicts of interests at this event and the politics are blatantly on display. Corrigan sports needs to do something about the LI process as its turning kids away in droves. So many signed up and decided to skip this event and those that did show up already know the odds are not in their favor as the selections were made way before the tryout. Maybe they should have coaches and evaluators from different regions and maybe more kids will sign up. This is why Maryland has LI beat all the time, same leadership=same results.
It has been ever thus. Search on this site and you will see. A few years back, people did contact Corrigan with their concerns, myself included, and you can see it made no difference.
Honestly you people sound pathetic ,stop whining. You are complaining prior to the teams being selected. YJ does not even have anyone coaching the teams yet you come on here acting like they have some crazy control over the process. Let me know any select team/award/ recognition process that is not flawed in some manner, its life get over it. They changed the AA selection process this year because they said its been purely political and flawed in past years yet the first thing they decide is if you were selected by the biased /flawed process last year you automatically make it this year, how does that make sense. You cant take any of these awards or select teams too serious if you get picked or you don't. Any college coaches at the tryouts.
I don't think people are worried about who is coaching the teams...their concern is on who is evaluating and picking the teams.
