[quote=Anonymous]Different sport (my kid’s play club baseball/softball) but this doesn’t seem unusual to me.

Most clubs will do tryouts every year yes- but everyone knows the top players will be making the team. The tryouts are just to see if any “new kids” can beat out a kid at the bottom of the roster for a spot. Sometimes teams use the tryout as a way to get rid of a particular player or two as well (to trim the roster in general, or to cut a kid who is a problem for some reason etc). Players usually know where they stand based on how much playing time they are getting...those who don’t play much often see the writing on the wall ahead of time and move teams on their own.

As for recruiting good players...that is exactly what the coach should be doing to ensure a competitive team (in order to retain top players like your DD). At some point, good players all want to be on a few top teams (and get a lot of wins). If the talent level on the team decreases, top players often leave and go elsewhere.

It is assumed that a current player doesn’t need excessive praise or recruiting IMO.[/quote]
