Is attending a "pre-tryout clinic " important if your kid wants to make a specific team? I have seen notices about several clubs offering them. Is it just a courtesy and to attract players, or will a player be at a disadvantage if they skip the clinic and just attend the tryouts?

these 'pre-tryout' clinics are another money grab thing by heros.

recruiting ploy!! trying to sucker you away from the M&Ds and Skywalkers.

The clinics are not a money grab. They are clearly a recruiting method; "ploy" is at best disingenuous. Just clubs trying to get players and parents to check things out and hopefully leave impressed. Not everything is sneaky or underhanded.

How much does the pre tryout clinic cost?

HoCo flamingos also has a pre-tryout clinic. It's "invitation only" you have to know someone with the program.

I believe the Heros one is $20 for one session and the Hoco one is $25 for two sessions.

You can register anyone through the HOCO website. Not sure why they say "invitational".

Looking forward to seeing how the teams stack up after tryouts are done. Are most of the clubs playing the same fall tournaments, or will we have to wait until spring to see how they match up?

Wouldn't be surprised M&D 24 playing up in the fall! That team is going to be loaded! Bring over the Redshirts top 3-4 players!!

OMG. 6th grade girls watch out. Loaded?! #getalife
