[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]Contact the coaches and have your son practice with the team/club age-group outside of the tryout process.  It's getting late in the spring season so there may not be many of those opportunities left.

I wouldn't sweat it too much.  Many clubs will find a team for your player especially after the first check clears.[/quote]

I really wish we'd stop saying that. At U9 and U10, the bigger clubs typically have twice as many kids trying out as they have spots available. No checks can change the basic math.

Yes, you could race around to a smaller club. Not sure if it's still the case with the merger, but Great Falls used to be pretty wide-open. Maybe Cugini, FCBescola, PAC, some other smaller club. That may or may not work.

But let's quit telling parents, "oh, anyone can play travel." It's not always true.[/quote]

At U10--our Big Club--6 teams--actually was sending out emails and fliers [i]after[/i] tryouts because they didn't get enough players.  We noticed a much lower turnout at many of the tryouts in the area this year.[/quote]
