[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just returned from a Stoddert travel soccer tryout.  Am I the only one who feels so frustrated that half the time the coaches seem to be yukking it up with each other, or just missing much of the action.  Not surprising as there were only 4 coaches and about 80 kids.  How could they possibly be doing any quality observation?  Is this par for the course, or just a Stoddert thing.[/quote]

They are not and it's not just that club.  Almost everywhere teams are pre-selected (all but the very youngest/entering age group).

We went to a tryout where the head coach apologized that he had no say in who was selected. He mentioned to us that our son had incredible talent, but selections went through committee and he didn't have a say.  There were kids that weren't even at the tryouts that made the team.  This one didn't require numbers or anything.  There is no way they even knew the names of the kids there---but they knew the names of the kids they had preselected. :lol:

Needless to say--we aren't sticking around for this BS...but I am sad to read it happens in other clubs too.  There are some kids out there that truly suck but they never get dropped or moved down.  It makes no sense.  Once they label the kid--it sticks--he's got the golden pass---at least until maybe he's 14 or so.
