[quote=Anonymous]DS is a defender on a 10U AAA rec team and is one of the better defenders on his team.  He tried out for a travel team last year and didn’t make the cut.  He tried out again recently (same team) and the first day nerves got the better of him and he looked terrible out there. It was hard to watch. At one point during the tryout Coaches told him to switch to middle and attack since he didn’t have a long pole like the other defenders.  He finished the tryout but on the way home he was really down about playing out of his comfort zone at a tryout and he cried (rare for him).  I bought him a long pole tonight and he used the bounce back in the store until it closed and then he was in the backyard with it catching and passing righty and lefty with his Dad until it was too dark to see the ball.  My question is does he bring the long pole to the second day of tryouts or is that too risky since he hasn’t practiced catching or passing on the run with it yet or using it in a scrimmage? Also how do I know if the coach meant dude you need a long pole or dude you suck at defense so let’s see if middie is your thing? If you aren’t good tryout day one what happens on tryout day two? Have they already written you off at that point or do you still have a chance to prove yourself?  [/quote]
