[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a boys soccer coach in the county most schools have 120+ kids. First off follow the schools soccer insta page, all the info is usually there. Tryouts is a difficult process, especially selecting the last couple of kids for JV. Because of numbers I try and take 25 for varsity and 23 for JV. However, playing time with the last 5 or 6 kids on each team is translated to the kids, however things change as the season goes on. Parents can be a real pain about playing time and some coaches have started taking under 20 for each team because of this. We almost always end of cutting a kid 9th grade that ends up making it the following year. Being able to play multiple positions really helps a lot. And for the bench positions on varsity, even personality plays a big role. If schools are canceled tryouts will be pushed back. Most schools have at least 3 days of tryouts. For tryouts you really just need soccer gear like you would practice if the coach wants something special they will tell you on Insta. This is what I do and other schools are somewhat similar.  Any other questions I will be happy to answer?[/quote]

I love an AMA! 
1. Do you cut kids after the first night?
2. Is there a level of club play that will always get a kid a spot on JV (for instance, playing ECNL or MLS Next)?
