[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Question.  How much influence does the current travel coach have on selecting players for the next year's travel team that they will continue to coach?  Is it truly a cattle call, everyone gets a chance? is it the next year's coach who selects which players they want and has already seen them all year? Or is it a neutral coach/coaches (not the next year's coach) that objectively selects the players ?[/quote]

Definitely not a third party, i think its a complement of new and old coach input. [/quote]

TD and new coach at our Club.  What is f@cked up is they don’t take current coach recs (you know the guy that saw them play 100% of the time in every practice and game for an entire year and knows players work rate/behavior, etc). Several coaches have been pretty pissed.  A few departed.  The current coach gives them their top 3 players and then they move up a different 6.  Inevitably, some Club lifers/donors.  You see at the final tryout the TD and coaches that ha e never seen these kids play watch for 10 minutes and then switch everything around.

Tryouts are truly for “show” after U9 at most Clubs and teams are set before they are even held.[/quote]
