I have a sneaking suspicion this is why a few clubs went so early with tryouts - to force kids to lock up their spot early. Most clubs are weeks away from tryouts.

This. There's no legitimate reason to push try outs early.

Agree, not sure why some of the "bigger" clubs held tryouts so early already. Still lots of tryouts coming up in the next few weeks but the constant pressure doesn't help anyone make an informed decision.

We tried out with our younger daughter at several places with deadlines. All we had to do was tell them we needed more time and they were fine. We did not feel like anyone was pressuring us to sign up, despite the deadlines. I mean - they need to know at some point, right?!?

They do but some like to pressure you in the hopes that you will be forced to pick them and not some other team. You are lucky they haven't pressured you for a decision as it does happen often - and it typically backfires in the long run.

About 10 or 11 NL 27 girls were offered spots this week and given a week or so to commit.

Interesting, that must be on a age/year basis for Stars.

If your daughter tried out a couple of weeks ago I would definitely check with her coach. Invites went out and committed is expected soon.

This is for girls new to Stars. Additionally they are still forming the teams as girls are being evaluated that couldn't make the initial tryout date.

They likely offer the top 10-11 girls that are "definite wants" then if any decline, they continue down the list/ have the others come to the next tryout to continue to get a few more looks.

Rebels changed tryout dates. Moved them up a week. Guess they want to try to scoop up girls before they already commit to another team.

Was Bethesda able to get two teams per age group? They seemed to have a lot of girls at tryouts. Wondering how it will all shake out.

They have a big rec program, so it would be a lot of those girls looking to move up.

Just checking MGLL site now and they have 10 1st/2nd grade teams, 6 3rd/4th grade teams and 4 5th/6th grade teams. So there are a lot of girls in their pyramid.

Wow that is pretty impressive, hats off to them.
