How the heck can folks fit in tryouts for more than one team with that requirement?[/quote]

The whole process doesn't make any sense. Its especially confusing for new parents.  A better process would be to stretch out tryouts over a week or two time frame giving clubs and players an opportunity to evaluate and see who's a good fit. All clubs send out offer emails the following day after tryout week. Monday morning 8am etc...  Give parents and player 48 hours to decide. Boom, done, simple. The tryout rules are governed by CHRVA not the clubs.  It's my 3rd year of this madness. This weekend will be brutal for girls who have their hopes up to make a specific team or make a team at all. Good Luck![/quote]

I don’t understand what the “simple” part is in your ideal description. Don’t you realize that clubs would just send out their offer emails to the same 12 girls? Then what?…they get 48 hours to decide while your DD has no offers and waits until the next round of offers? And then does round 2 get 48 hours to decide as well?
What if a player accepts an offer when it comes in the second round but then in round three, she finally gets an offer from a club she really wants that still has a spot? Can she change her mind?
The system they have is imperfect, but your proposal is a nightmare.[/quote]

+1. That proposal would be awful.  My DD and her friends went to 5-9 tryouts over that weekend. They were all trying for open level or national teams.  It was a terrible weekend and we knew it would be.  Stretching it out over a longer period of time would have these girls going to even more tryouts, out of fear that they wouldn’t have a spot anywhere.  Even with 5-9 tryouts in that short amount of time, everyone we know can away with 0-2 options.  So don’t say they went to too many.  Every girl went to some lower level clubs too.  I wouldn’t want to stretch this out over two weeks.  [/quote]
