[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP and thank you everyone who responded. What a rational, kind and helpful thread. Incredible!

I know that we should be contacting coaches and asking if my son can come out to a practice. Sorry for newbie questions — but do you email the coach ? Do they really let random kids come to practices? Do you send video?[/quote]

Yes, I’ve gotten coaches info from their website.  Or reaching out to the director of the club. Or if you know a family that has a kid in the club you’re interested in, see if they can make an introduction.

Coaches will let your kid come to practices so long as you can convince them that your kid is at the level of their team. So if trying to get on an MLSNext or ECNL team, for most players, you are already on the top team of a major club, or you could be the best player on a second team at a big club.

If you’re from a small club, you are the best on the team and/or playing up.

If you’re not any of the above, you may just have to see if you show well at an open tryout.

Good luck!
