[quote=Anonymous]A couple of things - how old is your child or children? I found the big cattle call tryouts to be very difficult - most of the coaches appeared to already know the kids they were going to choose and basically ignored the other kids. If you're interested in a particular club, sign up for their camps and clinics; it's a great way to get good training and to meet the coaches that will decide who makes the competitive teams. At the younger ages (until 12-13) almost everyone gets playing time - although of varying degrees. My daughter was passed over for travel soccer twice despite being the 'best' on her then all-boys rec team. Rather than letting it get her down, it motivated her to work harder. The next year she took all of the clinics she hadn't done before and made the team. [/quote]
