[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]um, why would you try out think he's too young and not ready to commit?   How you answer that question will determine how they'll look at you in the future

If you say oh, we just wanted to see where he might stand - well, you're not really serious, are you?  So why would they take you seriously next year?

If you say well, he was placed on a lower team then we wanted - well, you're getting into the travel program which is a higher level then what you're currently playing, right?  So why would they take you seriously next year?

Not PP, but we were in exactly the same boat as PP, and declined an U9 roster spot (with ASA) for a young 2009 boy.  What's wrong with giving your son some experience with tryouts and deciding to not have him play on a travel team when he is only in the second grade?  Wouldn't the coaches rather you decline the roster spot, rather than take it and potentially struggle with the commitment later in the year?  Family circumstances could be entirely different next year, or the year after that, and allow you (player and family) to make the commitment .  My DS will likely try out again in a couple of years, and I hope that he will be evaulated fairly at that time.  And if he doesn't make the team then, so be it.

PP, there are plenty of parents who aren't willing to make the commitment to have their second graders play travel soccer.  Any decent club should understand this, and shouldn't hold your participation in tryouts against you. [/quote]
