[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like my DD’s odds of being selected from a group of 150 players that Capital coaches know little about during a 3 hour tryout. We are not good at the politics, so I’m glad to hear from the one PP that Capital has removed this aspect of past tryouts. I get she will stand around half the time, but she has size, strength, speed, and the overall athleticism that will get her noticed. And she has the potential it sounds like Capital is looking for that will be easily identifiable to the few evaluators (I know each may see her for only a few minutes and some not at all) working the tryouts in the actual 90 minutes of lacrosse she will put on display during passing/catching and ground ball drills. I’m confident she will stand out above the me-first players in the little scrimmage time players will get. Hopefully, she gets selected for the two scrimmage teams the evaluators really want to watch and doesn’t get lost on the other teams made up of the remaining 120 players trying out. This all sounds like a very reasonable approach to selecting almost an entire team of players for a highly competitive club team the coaches were not familiar with prior to tryouts as one poster suggested.[/quote]

I hope this thread can stay active long enough for you to post a follow up to how things end up for your daughter.

Size, speed, and skills should surely help her stand out.

? Obviously based on your post she does not play for pride or stars? Does she currently play club? I would assume yes in order for you to have such a clear picture of where she stacks up against local competition. If so, why do you think she is such an unknown? [/quote]

Agreed. A player with size, strength, speed, and the overall athleticism that will get her noticed in a tryout is probably already a known commodity. [/quote]

Wait, I’m lost. Didn’t one PP say Capital will select all but 3-5 players from those who show well during a short tryout. That attending clinics where a player can be seen by Capital leading up to tryouts will only “help at the margins” and “politics” are overstressed. If true, that PP suggests the value of being known is not important. That standing out as an athlete in a crowded tryout is the key. That Capital will see past any skills deficiencies and go with those with the best potential. How does my DD become a known commodity to Capital? What suggestions can others provide for getting to know the Capital staff? I feel like that PP is playing politics by trying to tell others to stay away from these clinics and it’s not important that Capital know the players before tryouts.[/quote]
