[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Individuals selecting the regional teams are noted on the web site, so it is easy to understand which clubs they represent. UA states these coaches can not nominate their own players. So, if true, how do kids from these respective clubs make the team when their own club is not considered a top club team in the area? In some cases the players are deserving. They are a strong players who opted not to play for a top club for whatever reason.

Someone made the comment you will not make the team unless your coach is making the selections. Local players all know each other and have a good idea who are the strongest players. Club players talk about who they want to add to their teams each season and for our respective area no players are doing this about players from the club that is representing the region on the selection committee. It will become obvious something is up if a lot of players from a club not considered one of the top clubs in the area make the UA regional team. One would hope the coaches know this and will focus on making the right selections based on talent, not who they know.

Politics aside, hopefully teams can be formed from, players and families can travel, and the event can take place this year. Players and families just want to get back playing and enjoying a sport they love.[/quote] Some of the coaches are HS coaches (not club) who add their players (and even their own child who isn't even a starter) to the call back list. It showcases the kids that private school/club coaches want to profile but the blind tryout stuff is B.S. - it's who knows/wants a kid before they even step on the field, not how well they play that day. Those UA AA coaches get nothing from choosing a talented kid who doesn't play for their school or club - at the end of the day, no one remembers or cares who won what during the event.[/quote]
