[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Really appreciate the feedback! The try outs for non-KSAC sites being on the same day/time is a challenge. I got freaked out reading on here that they have 100 kids trying out for just 15-20 spots. How do they differentiate with such a large group of kids?? And does RMSC really give feedback if you don’t make the cut? We tried out for ASA and they told us nothing. [/quote]

We asked for feedback when DC tried out and did not make RMSC. The feedback was general I think, they said he was not legal in breast and fly but we have a video of him doing breast at the trail-- I wasn't there so my wife took videos for me. [/quote]

For 8u, coaches want kids who can focus, follow directions, and do not need constant redirection in the pool. Being legal in all strokes is a definite bonus, but imagine being a kindergarten teacher who has to select students for their class. Do you select the kid who can write his name well but also can’t sit still  and distracts all the other kids? Or the kid who isn’t perfect, but listens well and follows all the directions?

Also, taking video of your child at tryouts is not going to endear you to the coaches, no matter what the reason. It kind of has “crazy swim parent” vibes, so I wouldn’t recommend. [/quote]
