[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basketball, tryouts are $20.  Not mandatory for girls that have already made a team in most cases.  There were some teams that folded this year so some girls that were on a team had to try out again so they could form new teams with new coaches.

The tryouts were pretty nice they usually brought in a good coach(es) to run them I think the fees covered the gym time and the visiting coach.  We went even though they were optional.

But yeah, it's basically a biannual event, off season/on season.[/quote]

Also, IMO tryouts are a good way to assess a player's development.  It's kind of difficult in a practice or game because kids might not be in a situation for you to see how well they are shooting or handling the ball.  You get a sense that the kids are improving, but a tryout to actually assess their individual skills is useful.[/quote]

Baseball is different in that regard. You do not need tryouts to assess individual development because coaches get a lot of opportunities to see that at practices and in games. Many teams also do metrics assessments during the season to track development on throwing or exit velocity, speed sprinting bases, etc. [/quote]

Baseball is a much more individual and stats driven sport than basketball.  [/quote]
