[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had different kids try out for a bunch of different sports and the tryouts are definitely a formality. The worst have been baseball and sometimes they didn’t even hide it. At one tryout (where the team only had 4 returners), each boy was supposed to have 7 swings. But, the number they actually got depended on the kid. For example, one kid (not a coach’s kid) swung and missed at a few, weak grounders on a few more, then on pitch 10 laced one. The coach “grading” the players got all excited, shouted some “atta boys” and said he was done. My son had solid hits on all 7 with no misses and no excitement from the coach. I knew from that who was making the team and who wasn’t. Even if they say it’s an “open tryout” be very skeptical. It’s usually not the case. [/quote]
