[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't most of the 100 tryout kids play travel soccer? How do they differentiate? [/quote] speed, skills, size, position. My DS played for 4 years at one of the Ws (not Wootton) so I've seen the process. First, not everyone has played travel and that's usually pretty obvious. It's not that you have to have played travel but the kids who have are used to a high level of play and it shows. Physical fitness is important - there are usually short and long speed drills or tests. The season starts right away so there is no time for a kid who isn't fit to suddenly get fit. Tryouts are over several days, plus some kids will have played on the MS team. There are usually 2-3 coaches (V and JV and assistant) managing it and breaking the kids into smaller groups. I think everyone gets a fair look. There are 40ish spots across the two teams, but usually at least 25-30 returning players so around 10-15 spots for new players. Not all returning players make the cut because the move from JV to Varsity is a big one and not all the incoming juniors will make it.[/quote]
