[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its sketchy to charge a fee to tryout. That's a red flag.[/quote] Tryout fees are standard in club volleyball and so are sham tryouts. Especially as the players get older. As someone else said, some of these teams have been playing together from a young age, and there may really only be 3 openings on a 12-player team, if that. The sham tryouts used to bother me more, but what really irritates me is a club holding open enrollment clinics even though they're also doing "invitation only" clinics. They know what players they're really interested in, and they're just holding the open clinics to collect the fees and possibly spot one more "little Messi" even though they've already got dozens of others coming to the invitation only clinics. I feel for the parents whose kid is new to the sport and don't realize the shenanigans that go on.[/quote]
