[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering how much that hurts kids who the coaches don’t know. For instance, DD is trying out for softball and has been to a bunch of preseason “practices” so the coaches have seen her. And other kids will be known because they play for the same travel team as the coaches daughter. So the coaches know a lot about them already. That shouldn’t matter and everyone should start equally- but especially with a condensed, indoor tryout…i bet it does. [/quote]

I'm going to be honest with you, the coaches have their varsity squads for softball already chosen. At least one school I'm aware of had its roster of 11 players up on GameChanger two weeks ago. That means there are maybe four or five spots, max, still available. And the freshman class is going to take those because it has at least four or five players playing at elite level travel ball including one girl who is on the USA Women's National Team. So, really, the tryouts are for JV. [/quote]

Just an update to this: This school I'm referencing above actually took seven freshmen for varsity yesterday. They leapfrogged over last year's JV team (none of whom were promoted to varsity this year). The freshmen are that good. Future state champions in Division 4, possibly as early as this year.

I’m so curious- what school is this?[/quote]

I would guess Woodgrove basd on the division 4 reference, but I'm not PP.[/quote]
