[quote=Anonymous]We just had basketball tryouts. My kid made a team but several, but the equivalent of at least 4 teams were turned away or didn't 'qualify' to join a team. The number of players trying out increased this year by 15 - 20% according to county official I spoke to. I asked why they didn't create more teams to give what I thought were decent players a chance to play at the travel level? I was told it was because they didn't have enough facilities to accommodate practices and games. Last year I was told the turnout was unexpectedly high, this year the same thing happened again. I just find it frustrating that the county keeps getting the population projections wrong. These kids sweat it out for 5 days/2 hours of tryouts just to be turned away for a lack of resources. I know this lack of resources affect soccer, baseball and other sports as well. When will they get the projections right and plan accordingly.[/quote]
