[quote=Anonymous]Have your kid go to the next tryout, not just 1 session. The small sided scrimmages are used to identify the kids who 'want the ball more' and pursue it constantly. Tell your kid to keep going after the ball, ignore their position, play offense, play defense and get after it!!! That is the only way they will stand out and be one of the ones chosen in the small-sided scrimmages. Some kids think they have to play a set position, but that only works against them in small-sided scrimmages. Tell them to be vocal, tell them to work hard for the 10-15 minutes they are in the small sided game. Their job is to get noticed as a new face in a sea of already established and known players. Sounds like they were just nervous. They will likely do better after the 2nd tryout. Heck, no one usually breaks into a new club at a decent level after 1 tryout. [/quote]
