What's the best way to already be known to the coaches before the tryout if you are coming in from outside the club?[/quote]

I had to e-mail the coaches twice and talk to the coaches after each tryout and I asked my kid to go up and shake the coach's hand and say thank you.  I think this was helpful, we got an offer just after the 2nd tryout for 2nd team (out of 3 teams). Which was good as that top team looked packed and there were so many kids, they could have made 5 teams if they offered everyone a slot!  You can also try to stand out in other ways, Heck, I even saw 1 new kid wear mis-matched shoes and socks.... on each leg... she defiantly stood out.  She was quickly talked to by the coaches.  Whereas, my kid looked like 10 other kids on the field with an Alex Morgan jersey, black shorts and pink socks.  lol So, I think the talking to the coaches and saying thanks after is helpful when you're new.
