[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP. My point to my origonal quote is, yes, if you only make to second tryout, your chance will be affected.[/quote]

NP and I think it’s all luck.  Generally this is true.  But DD didn’t get any offers from her first round of tryouts last year and we scrambled to find last chance makeup tryouts.  She went to those and got two offers.  They were clubs that turned down girls at the main tryouts.  There weren’t many at the last chance make ups on those final days, but these were not super competitive clubs.

The entire process is so frustrating.  My daughter wasn’t even looked at with the masses of girls that showed up at the main tryouts.  She was only seen when there weren’t many fewer at the end.

Obviously go to the tryouts at the beginning but don’t give up if nothing works out.  Keep trying if she wants to play.  Check here, people will post tryout dates Monday and Tuesday for teams still looking to fill positions when girls don’t accept spots. I never thought she would be in that position last year and she was. The year before she played on a travel team and had invite clinics. She still didn’t get any offers.  [/quote]

Luck is very important. I feel you about not getting noticed with masses of girls. My DD was left without proper evaluation in one tryout that I don't think we will ever consider that club  this year. And DD was lucky to get the club she really wanted last minute before close time. But I was impressed on MOCO's try out process (after experiencing the aweful one). Out of curiosity, was the travel team you mentioned metro? We learned to not get our hopes high even got invite clinics, yes, not everyone got it, but not few either. Also we don't know what position the team is looking for and see potential in DD if she does not have experience in that position and willing to give her a chance to grow. [/quote]

It is interesting how different personal experiences are. In our case, it was the MOCO tryout that left us with a bad taste. My DD was kept on the bottom court for the entire tryout. It is difficult to show any skills when you play with beginners, so she was hoping that she would eventually be given a chance on a higher court. They may have already had enough players on my DD position and they were sorting through those. But when you pay for a tryout, you expect them at least to pretend that they are interested in your skills. She felt ignored for the entire tryout, so we won't go to MOCO tryouts anymore. [/quote]
PP. It is interesting! The way you described was not what we experienced with MOCO tryout but exactly with the other club.[/quote]
What was the club that disappointed you?[/quote]
