People are not stupid if you were there to watch the tryout and you would understand why people won't pay to tryout for a team that's already chosen.


Ok. The tryout started like every tryout. Kids were broken up randomly into groups and rotated through different drills. Drills that determined which players showed the most skill. Then, for the second half of the tryout, the kids that were deemed most skilled went on one team (the players were mostly from Express and Bandits because those teams had many of the best kids that were at the tryout). The second group of players went on the other. During those full field scrimmages, some players on the second team showed to be better players than expected. Similarly, some players on the first team did not shine. When the final roster was assembled, most of the kids from the first team and 3-4 kids from the second team were invited to the games. That's how tryouts work.


You are a buffoon. That is how it is supposed to work but if you think that is really what happened then you have not got a clue.


That's exactly how it went. And no, I have no skin in the game at all. Either you weren't there or your son is not as good as you think he is. You trash an event simply because your son didn't make the team. You have no clue what you're talking about.



Are you saying that there are only 25 or how may players that had on that team good enough to make the roster that day. If you believe that then there is no need to speak with you. The process was clearly rigged. You don't go down the line and pick random numbers and have all your players + players from the co sponsor of the even on the same team and everyone else on a different team. If you told me they did this after a 3 day tryout then I would say yes they had enough time to evaluate each of the kids and no kid outside of that group has a remarkable 1 day so his skills were miss judged. They decided who they would take after doing a few small area drills plus 3 kids from the other team


I don't even understand your post. It was a one day tryout. That's all the time they had. The team was only playing in one tournament; why would they spend 3 days on tryouts?

There were 25 or so kids on that roster that showed more skill and talent than the other players at tryout. There were very few Igloo or S2S players there. There were a lot of Express and 91. There were a handful of Outlaws, some Ducks, some Legacy and some TB. There also a bunch of town kids that showed no signs of being on a travel team. Of all of the teams mentioned, which are the best? Bandits and Express. Why are they the best? Because they have the best players. It's pretty simple. I never said that the other players weren't skilled players. I think that every kid at that tryout was an above average player, but there are only so many positions to fill. And they were filled with the kids that had the best tryout.
