[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did he screw up the tryouts?[/quote]

Others may have additions to this list but

—poorly run
—announced late
—coaching slate not set (eg TBD as coach for some teams)
—offers issued to wrong people to wrong teams bc coaches didn’t know player names (not wrong in my opinion, but like they confused two people named Sam and switched the offers)[/quote]

Timeline (definitely more impact on the girls side):

3 and 4 April - interim board (ML) fires ED and several coaches and promises a coaching plan.  Families sent several emails over the course of the next few days.  Every email was met with a bounce back that promised a reply.  No one ever replied.  At this point, tryouts were already set for late April.

A week or two follows with little transparency or clarity.  Still no replies to emails.  Consider the effect on then-current GFR families and those exploring GFR as an option?  Why would any new families have taken that risk?  What option did some families have but to take safer options?  Consider too that coaches were still fired and in no position to recruit and build teams.

Late April - Interim coaches who had worked with the kids for all of 2-3 weeks chose teams at tryouts.  There weren't enough coaches to cover concurrent tryouts.  The coaches who had worked with them all year had no say.

Definitely an interesting leadership approach.  Was that approach a net gain for the club AND THE KIDS and the families?
