How many vogues teams are there for 5th?
Last year there were 3. Blue, White, Regional. This year I heard it’s definitely one team and maybe a second team, but there was not certainty about the second team? Anyone have info as we are trying to decide between a few teams.. |
I mean there were 3 at the 4th grade level… |
| Basketball newbie here. If your kid is not selected, do they tell you or is it just silence? |
These programs (which are reputable) should tell you. But it may take time because the coaches are waiting to see who accepts/declines the initial offers (and they may need to then make more offers to fill out their roster). |
I am a coach for a program listed here. Yes, we have sent out offers and we are waiting for the players to accept. We always have a few that need a little extra time to make sure they can commit to the schedule. If they decline, we an offer to the next player on our list. So it may take a few days. After our roster is full and everyone is committed, we inform the program commish, and they send out an email to the families who did not get picked. That allows the players to move onto another tryout for a different team… |
| My kid tried out for both, plus 2 others. Here's my take, too late for this year but may help in the future-- Elevate is much more organized, despite what seemed like more kids at the tryout. Better communication from coaches to parents, and more positive feedback. As a previous poster said, Elevate is forming 3 teams, recognizing they may not get the most accurate view from 1 or 2 tryouts and they want to give promising kids a chance to develop. Coach also said they know most kids play multiple sports and shouldn't give that up at this age, it makes for better athletes - but they build the cushion into their practices to allow for more depth. Big thumbs up from this parent. |
Oh this is helpful, thanks. If a kiddo is definitely not a fit do you let them know right away - so no info might mean they are still under consideration? Or you don’t notify anyone at all until full roster is set? - Parent of a kid who wants to play with one team, has heard nothing at all but is sitting on an invite from another team. |
| Anyone who has a 7th grade girl heard from vogues or elevate? |
| If you don't receive an offer within 3 days after tryouts, plan ahead try out for a different team this weekend. The "sorry, you didn't make it" email may not come until weeks afterwards. |
