[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the teams mentioned here are only looking for specific players and roll existing roster year over year. We know a kid that just got picked up by team takeover. He’s the only new add to the roster for now. The whole process seems intentionally vague. [/quote]
I think for better teams it IS internationally vague because they want to limit how many kids show up.  The alternative is a team like my kid’s AAU team that publicized tryouts and had 120 kids show up to try out for 2 teams — so in theory they were filling 28 spots, but they were only looking for a handful of new kids and my kid and most of the others who made the team had been invited to try out, so I don’t know if any truly new kids were offered a spot. The coaches started walking around 5 minutes in and telling kids they were cut. It seemed like a terrible way to do things.  [/quote]

Is this really how cuts work? This sounds horrible![/quote]
That club is the only one I ever saw do cuts that way.  I was not happy about it at all — I knew and liked the coaches but I found that appalling.  That said, I know an ex-NBA player who said that’s how they all did it before AAU became so full of pay to play teams. [/quote]
