[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would help immensely to know the age of the kid, and the sport.

Best way to do this tends to be word of mouth- and general knowledge of what positions teams are looking to fill. Which isn’t always easy….

There is really not ever a guarantee unless specifically discussed ahead of time with the coaches (and depending on the age group, demanding- or even angling- to play a certain position at a tryout can be frowned upon).

OP here- kids is 12. He seems to be in a position that won’t advance his skills for that sport.  I had the fear that angling for a specific position before tryout won’t go over well.  [/quote]

Is it baseball? And he plays outfield? That’s my guess? If so, outfield is super important but he should get reps in the infield and potentially get to pitch also if he can at least throw strikes. If he likes the team has he asked what he needs to do to get reps? My son had success asking for IF reps at 12U (got reps in practice and in easy games). The better hitter he is, the more leverage you will have BTW. IME.

Often changing to another team - getting a look from different coaches- CAN possibly help. But, I’d never ask about playing a particular position at tryouts (will make you look like a PITA).
