[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]‘Tis the season. ECNL and DA “ID session” aka “tryouts” have been occurring since Feb. Normal travel tryouts occur late April thru May.

I have found that it is usually better to tell the current coach if you are trying out with other clubs, as often they will find out anyhow. Many of these coaches talk to each other, as do the parents and players. So you may as well be open and transparent.

As far as commitments, they tend to go in the same order. ECNL and DA first, then the other travel teams follow. However, if your kid is that good or if the team simply needs more players you can always get on the team after their normal window. Example: local DA club filled most of its roster in mid spring but added two more players in early July. It happens. [/quote]

Zero percent chance I would tell the coach anything until you have to. This is either posted by a coach or TD and is possibly the worst advice you could get on the internet. [/quote]

Ha! "Worst advice". Being open and honest - yeah that's just a horrible thing to be. I am not a coach.  Just a dumb assumption by you. Being open and transparent is what I have done in the past and my kid's playing time was never affected. However, this does reveal something about your character. You think its smart, and I think its dishonest. If your kid is good enough you can be transparent as the coach won't restrict playing time because most of all, they want to win. It makes them look good. I guess that's the answer, isn't it?  Your kid isn't very good, doesn't get much playing time, so you're looking elsewhere.  Yeah, you're right. In that case, hide all your cards if you think it really matters.  Good luck, loser.[/quote]
