Yes, they look at your resume when you come in for a job. But I think we've all learned the hard way over the past couple years that nepotism stinks. So while yes, a kid that has a good resume should be taken into consideration even if he has a bad tryout, there are kids who come out of the woodwork, so to speak. Who have developed and grown and maybe moved past those kids with the resume. So a tryout should be just that: a tryout. Whoever shines gets the spot. Otherwise, you're basing the team on word of mouth, daddy ball, favoritism, and hey, didn't his dad play D1? Doesn't his dad coach such and such? Doesn't he play for such and such MIAA team? It's a load of BS. Hold the tryout, and pick the team based on the tryout. Then no one can question your motives. Everyone on here talks tough -- don't complain about holdbacks, work harder. But when it comes to being entitled for spots on these teams, they sure shut up quickly.
That is why it is not a tryout no matter how hard UA makes it out to be one. Most positions are gone before first player steps on field.
If it is worth the money to you, go for it. But dont expect to make the team , enjoy the experience and competition. Of course that is a hard pill to swallow if you are a very good player with a better tryout than the chosen ones.
