| My son is looking for feedback on PPA 16u. Anyone know anything? How good are they, how are the coaches? Tia |

| PPA is an unorganized hot mess. Many start with them and then get out |

| PPA top teams can be well coached and do well. I think the older you get with them, they get more organized and more competitive |

| Ppa hoops is not good, if based only on “tryouts,” which were chaotic and the coaches clearly were only looking for a couple of gems to fill out rosters. |

+1 Tryouts were chaotic. Coaches were not even looking at the kids 70% of the time. I heard they pre-scout and approach kids they want, so the the kids who don't already know the coaches have no real chance of making the team. |

Every tryout-based league or team does the same thing. |

100% they already know how their teams will be formed before tryouts. Tryouts are a sham. Confirming that coaches don't even pay attention during tryouts. Speaking as someone on a premier ppa team. There is zero organization.
Coaches of teams to be formed should NOT be evaluating during tryouts as that removes objectivity of kids' talent. Get it together PPA. No wonder so many teams are leaving PPA for other better programs. |

| When should you expect to hear back from PPA after try outs? |

| Run by a cheater. If you want your kid to win at all costs, then go for it. But if you want them to have integrity and win because they're the better team, then look elsewhere. |
