[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the club, some have already started try-outs. My DD's have a warm-up and then have small scrimmages.  I don't think they have room for footskills.  It depends on how competitive the club/how many spots as to whether she has a good shot or not.  Its really based on how she plays since they won't know her. Its easier for the girls than the boys usually though.  [/quote]

Any club too big to evaluate skills has sucky players.  Fact.

There were so many players that the 2003 and 2002 tryouts at our club that there's no way all of the players could possibly be seen. We are taking out kids to another tryout just in case they weren't seen and don't get picked, even though they've been with this club for a few years. Since there are new coaches at these two age groups in our club, they know none of the current kids and have no idea what level any of the players are at. My daughter and son were super frustrated at the tryouts because there were so many unskilled player, and at these age groups you would hope that they have been sorted out already. All they did was scrimmage the entire time - no warm ups, no skills at all. Several kids had almost no touches on the ball because the current kids weren't passing to them. I would be frustrated too.
