[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do players have to do this circus every year, even after they’ve made a club  one year and are happy?  In other words, do they have to fight hard to retain their spot from the prior year or are clubs loyal to returning players?  I realize she will always have to tryout but is her spot safe with the same club, assuming no issues?  This was our first year of tryouts, and DD got offers from 4 of her 5 teams from tryouts.  But it was stressful and we put so much time and money into clinics at each place.  I know she will have to tryout again but I’m hoping the stress is not like this every year. [/quote]

The answer is YES, they will for almost every club.  The reason being, depending on a player's ambitions, if it's not Paramount Travel or Metro Travel and they have their sights set on college scholarships, they're going to keep trying to "climb up the club ladder" towards those top teams.

And as much a the team may love a player, they still want to roster the best team they can. So if 12 or 15 girls tryout and they're all better than your player, they may well take them first.

All that said, if the player and team have a great relationship, that IS worth something as well and I'm sure your player would have preference over others who might seem a little better but basically still be unknown.  A known good/great player is better than a seemingly somewhat better player but only based on 90 min tryout.[/quote]
