[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our experience is that most of the team is formed by tryouts. You'd need to be a total standout to bump current players (including bench players) off. The exception to this is if it's a newly forming team or if you have insider knowledge that many players are leaving the team for another team and they need to fill a lot of roster positions. Another exception is if your kid is younger. But the older the kids and the more established the teams--certainly true in soccer and basketball. Sadly, being a parent in the loop and a well liked parent helps your kid. It sounds like you've been a bit too uninvolved maybe???????? [/quote] This thought has crossed my mind more than once. I'm busy and introverted, so I'm not in the loop. Maybe it's my fault. My kid has played on a few ad hoc national tournament teams and done well in that setting but has difficulty progressing locally during the regular season. [/quote]
