Um. All players on the top team my DC plays on were told that they definitely are not to take their spot for granted and that if there is a player better than them that comes out to try outs they can and will lose their spot. I don't think anyone is taking their spot for granted. Every practice, every game - they need to bring their best and if they are not, you know the coach can tell immediately since s/he has been training them all. year. long. Anyways - best of luck to everyone this try out season - wish it wasn't in early May when it causes chaos to break out from the rest of the season in 1-2 weeks but what can we do. |

| Not requiring existing players to come to at least 1 day of tryouts is the mark of either inexperience or laziness. |

| My daughter is on a top GA team, and their players never go to tryouts. They are either offered or not offered a spot on the next year's team before tryouts begin. It is my experience that if you haven't been asked to the top team before the tryouts and you are a new player you aren't going to be offered a spot on the top team because of a few tryout dates. At least for our club you need to be going against the girls for several weeks in trainings during the season, or already have a name people know. Now for kids u12 and below maybe that is different, but once u13 starts tryouts dates have nothing to do for the top team and are just used for filling out the other teams in the club. |

| Potomac has made big changes by bringing in some very experienced coaches for the GA league. The 2013 coach was at Bethesda academy before I believe. Very positive IMO. |

| Is Potomac having seperate tryouts for their GA Aspire teams? DD attended the week 1 tryout, but the turnout was low and level of play was not impressive. Wondering if this tryout was just for the B teams... |

We had the same experience. There are two more tryout sessions to go, so perhaps more players will turn up then. |
