[quote=soccer_dc]I feel like the open tryout sessions are mostly for building club awareness and making existing players feel like they need to compete and commit. In reality, very few players are taken from the open sessions. As you observed it's a lot of players in a small space with very little way for coaches to get a real evaluation. In the future, I would definitely contact the coaches much earlier in the process about attending practices with the team. They might even let your son guest play with the current team. Then by the time open sessions come around they already know who he is and have evaluated him, and the open session is just a confirmation. Unfortunately all parents need to go through this as I did with my oldest child to learn how it really works. Or maybe if I had known about this forum I could have saved us a lot of stress and wasted tryout sessions years ago. [/quote]
