Seriously ? If you are asking , You are not even near elite level . Stay with your team. Elite isnt in the cards for you.

They've already picked their teams, lots of movin and shakin behind the scenes, it's all decided before tryouts, just a money grab

We figured out with my oldest son circa 6th grade that many of these clubs are looking for 1-4 kids vs the 40-60 who show up to try out. The tryout system only "works" for 3 groups of players:

1. Kids who want to stay at their current club
2. Kids who are a level above the competition at a tryout but need "a better club fit" than what they have
3. Kids who want to "level down" for more playing time, and blow away the competition at an AAA or AA tryout

If your kid is playing "elite" ball (and not in the top 5 players on his roster), and is trying out for other random elite teams than his own, you are wasting your money. Same is true, jumping between AAA teams if your kid is a "standard" AAA player.

Not quite. Agree that tryouts for Elite and good AAA teams are somewhat useless due to the desperados nowhere near that level, and the time-wasters who go to multiple tryouts just to "check out the scene" or to get "extra practice." But in the world of over-size rosters, there are plenty of kids who feel they are not getting their due on their current team, and want a fresh look from a new team. holdbacks also put tryouts to good use, comparing the options in their new grade level.
