[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anybody whose DD attended Metro or Paramount tryouts this season (or any of the other more competitive clubs that are a step down from those two), how did the tryout process go there? Just trying to prepare myself for next season when I know my kid is inevitably going to want to tryout for those two clubs. [/quote]

We tried out for Metro Central and East. We're a new family to this as well. We didn't know that Metro was a "top" club.  We just picked the clubs that were closest to our house. Traffic and logistics in this area are a nightmare.  IMO the Sunday Nov. 5th tryout was a disaster.  There were 100 girls in a small gym all trying out for 4 different teams at the same time. How you can evaluate players under those conditions I have no idea.  Based upon what I've learned from this thread, to prepare for next years club tryouts; make sure she's playing in HS, participate in the club's camps and clinics, and email the coaches ahead of time to see how many open roster spots they anticipate having and what positions.  No need in wasting time and money if they already have an idea of who's going to make club.  If they are honest with you they may be forthcoming with that information.  I know some will argue that clubs aren't preselected but this was my experience.  Perhaps not all 12 positions but certainly some offers will have already been extended and some will have been promoted up from the previous age tier.  [/quote]
