[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: my child tried out for a sports club that rhymes with "Pallor" that had three teams already. They had two tryouts last week and a third one much later (this Saturday). We were told that the first team received their offers before tryouts began and the tryouts were actually just for the lower teams and that was standard for "Pallor".

At what point should we assume our child has not made the second team? We wouldn't pay $4k for the third or possible fourth team.  Or if the offer for the second team hasn't come yet, is it safe to assume our child was a last pick and won't play much?[/quote]

Why don’t you look at where the first and second teams play (league and division), look at their schedules and the other clubs they compete against. Chances are they play against a few smaller clubs with competitive teams. Have your kid try out for those. Smaller clubs don’t have rigid tryouts and are open to see any kid whenever.

If you were hoping for second or even first team, it sounds like your child is probably pretty decent.

Then next year, you can ask Pallor if you can practice prior to tryouts and say my kid played against your team, etc.

Short answer, I would think the same as you. Last pick on second team…probably not a great spot to be.  [/quote]
