[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should be able to get feedback after the first practice.

Maybe the coach will see some different things at the second practice, but by the third one, the coach should have figured the player out already and start to see the same things repeatedly. The level of the player will come out by then.

As a disclaimer, I am an experienced coach. I can tell after one practice with about 70% certainty where the player will fit into the team. After two practices about 90% certainty.

Questions you may want to ask:
How does the player fit at this level? Do you see this player being a fit? Is this player in range of the players on the other team, on the higher end, lower end, or in the middle? The most important thing is, is the player within comparable range of other players on the team. If they are then it's not a no.

It also might depend on tryouts and if they're losing players or if they're getting other strong players to join the team so the coach may not have a final answer yet.

If there is an option to continue training with the team on your off days from practice, that's always good to take the coach up on it.

You should not miss your team practices with your current team to attend practices with the new team if you have not officially joined them yet. It's okay to miss one but not on a regular basis every week.

No one is going to come knocking on your door  but your players coach May sense that you have one foot out the door already and will make your spring season miserable by reducing playing time, because why invest in a player who won't be with your team next year and is probably mentally checked out already

Thank you Coach.  This is the best post I read in a long time.

One thing I always wondered, why don't more tryouts use videos to record the players, especially when so many players tryout?
