[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here with a question about ATB tryouts. Their FAQs indicate your child has to try out each year with the teams being a blank slate.

I’m wondering what people’s experience with this is. If a kid is overall athletic, improving and listening to coaches, etc. what are the odds they will be replaced by a new kid who comes along in a later season? It feels like such a huge financial and time commitment for families, that it would be disheartening to have your kid no longer on the team because someone who is 2% better came along the next year. But maybe that is standard for travel?

Also, do they usually field 2 teams for each age group? 12 kids doesn’t sound like much for the entire county. [/quote]

They’re pretty loyal to the kids who are already on the team. A new kid would need to be a lot better than 2% better to take a known player’s spot.

Most age groups have two teams. I think 10U this year only has one, but that’s not typical. Once they reach 13u and up there is only one team. [/quote]
