[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, McLean high school club Pickleball tryouts on Saturday (09/14/24) and Monday (09/16/24) between 4:30pm-6pm at Lewinsville park.  [b]I guess they only want good players and cut everybody else[/b].[/quote]

Why do you say that?

First, isn't that what every team wants?  The best players available.

Second, you seem to be suggesting that the tryout time and locations are indicative of something, but I'm not sure what it could be?[/quote]

There are only 4 PB courts @Lewinsville so the club just can't take everyone.  They can probably reserve the court for only 90 minutes going forward.    The point I am trying to make here is that it is competitive even at the HS club leve.  [/quote]

I still don’t get how you are coming to this conclusion.  They provided  weekend tryout slot and a weekday slot.

The amount of time allocated to tryouts is the same for basically every sport.  They may have 100 kids show up or 3.

They may take just about everyone (which is typical for club sports)…but one gating factor is you need to attend a tryout. That seems reasonable.[/quote]
