[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how different clubs do their tryouts - for both lower level teams and ECML/MLSNext ID sessions…. Is there generally a uniform approach? Or do all clubs handle it differently?  Such as…

- Do they require existing players to attend tryouts/ID sessions or not?

- Do they organize the players at tryouts/ID sessions into intentional groupings or do they randomize?

- Do they rotate coaches to watch all groups equally?

- For those who have been through it all, what format of tryouts do you think provides coaches with the fairest opportunities to identify talent?

- Do they ever pick up players from outside the club through any of the open tryouts/ID sessions or is it all through prior contacts?   [/quote]

There are definitely examples of kids being selected from open tryouts, but for our club the surest way is to become a trialist. Reach out to the club prior to tryouts and send video clips of your kid. If they like what they see they will invite you to practice with one of their teams prior to the actual tryout date. [/quote]
