[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter tried out for a club last weekend (2/7). I think she's on the cusp of B team or no offer. My guess is they're making offers to the A team, then B team on a rolling basis. What's a reasonable amount of time before reaching out to the coach to see result? Don't want to be obnoxious, but also trying to plan sleepaway camp, family vacation, etc. Thanks![/quote]

I can’t speak for this but with Va Elite, kids heard when tryouts were done.  It seemed like the coaches had done most of the recruiting before tryouts.  Do others find this to be true?  If that’s the case, my guess it is hard to break into teams. I’m not sure if that’s when they start fielding B teams.  The whole process is very unclear.

We only have experience with two teams and it wasn’t this year but from one, it seemed like the team was decided before tryouts. DD got an offer from the B team about 2-3 days after tryouts ended.

Our other experience was with a different team and there were two tryouts. That offer came at the end of the 1st tryout. She was asked to attend the 2nd tryout anyway but was assured she had a spot on the team.  It made us wonder if they usually are decided prior or really at the first tryouts.

Follow up if it’s been that long and you want to know. [/quote]

I'm the poster wondering whether to reach out to the coach. My kids' experience with soccer tryouts has always been an offer during tryouts or within a few days, so this does seem long. Also agree that I think most of the recruiting seems to have been done in advance. Basketball really feels like you need an in or to know certain people to find out about tryouts, open gyms, etc.[/quote]
