[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When try out rolls around, the coaches already know who they want.  I honestly think the try out is just a formality. [/quote]

This. A rare few dark horses placements can happen; but that's not common at all. If you show up for tryouts only don't expect anything but a lower team offer. [/quote]

That's not how they are presented to the general public. Clubs don't list on their website that parents should reach out to coaches ahrad of time, go to practices etc. They all pretend like the teams are decided at the tryouts.

They should be honest with people on how many slots per team were truly available per team prior to the tryouts so people don't waste their kids time.[/quote]

This is life. Just like applying for a job. You see it posted, but as an outsiser you may not know the hiring manager already has someone in mind.
In club soccer, if you're in the know, you know to go to practices before tryouts. My rising U11 plays for a top area team and he's had different kids at every single one of his practices for the past several weeks.

They are also playing up 9v9 and the coach has guested a few kids from the lower teams for games this spring. It's pretty obvious who he's considering to move up next year.[/quote]
