[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who was a volunteer tennis coach until 2023 at one of the big 3 private schools, and also at an FCPS school (think of Langley, McLean, Oakton, Chantilly), I can assure you that the tryouts were fair, and that the best kids made the varsity based on results on the tennis court.  The results were recorded with confirmation from players.  Therefore, coaches could not put a player with a worse record on the team during tryouts, while denying another player with a better record.

There were always parents demanding to know why their kids didn't make the varsity team.  As coaches, we showed them results from the tryout, and we were very transparent with the process.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that in team sports.[/quote]

I'm sure you're a good Samaritan and spend your weekends teaching underprivileged kids on the other side of the county on the weekends.  Then again, you're a tennis coach so probably not, which explains why no one cares.[/quote]
