[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clubs only give 48 hours.  This is the problem and why clubs try to screw kids over.

Example: My kid tries for MYS last week and gets an offer last Friday.  Well, he only has two days to accept it.  But, VYS and Great Falls are this week.  Then next week is Arlington.

What if your kids want to see the best offer they can get before choosing...they can't.  We have to play the game and literally accept each offer (with a $300-$400 deposit) and move onto the next tryout.

Again, the tryout system is to screw the kids.  There is nothing fair about it.  I mean, 48 hours to accept or lose the spot?  Really?  [/quote]

There are other kids waiting to hear who will get the spot a kid doesn't take.  It's not fair to them have to wait indefinitely.[/quote]

Who says an offer has to indefinite?  But, two days?  Two days to make a decision that will last one year?  Come on.  Clubs can offer 5-6 days to accept.  They know other club's schedules.  [/quote]

2 days should be totally fine.  The process will go on a long time if every kid gets 5-6 days. Clubs want top kids to commit, that makes perfect sense.  And other kids on the team I'm sure want the best players they can get as well.  Tryouts are a lot of work and stress for everyone.  Letting your special snowflake shop around to every club at their leisure is not helpful to anyone.[/quote]
