[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had two players on our rec team last year tryout without practicing and make the top team out of three teams.[/quote] This scenario should not be confused with a situation where a kid from a third or fourth team can work their way up to the top. The latter is just not as likely. Some kids coming from rec are very athletic and talented, and could have played on a top team from an early age had they tried out for travel. Kids who get placed on a third/fourth/fifth team are usually less athletic, less talented and have a ceiling on their potential. Coaches can tell the difference between someone with raw talent who needs some polishing vs someone who lacks athleticism or aggressiveness. I have seen too many parents get their hopes up about being moved up and then get mad when it doesn’t happen. They pour all these resources into their kids only to get passed over for a more athletic kid from rec. [/quote]
