[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

$4k? Seriously?

FWIW, I know a family who had a negative experience at Pallor. But I also know several players heading that way for next year, so….[/quote]

Its a HUGE org. They just make more and more low level teams each year. Its a factory with soccer players instead of widgets. 
So for pp, yes, the tryouts were probably for 1-3 open spots on the second team (new players competing with 3rd team kids trying to move up) and 1-3 open spots on the third team, and maybe an entire new fourth level team. The first team was full of returning paying customers and a few kids pulled up from the second team.[/quote]

Not only that but the open 1-3 spots on the white team (second team) might be for very specific positions, a GK or a left footed midfielder, etc.[/quote]
