Subject: ID before tryouts?
At the time of the ID sessions, these coaches already know what positions they need or want to fill. Try out is just a formality for the clubs so they don't get in trouble for excluding the public.

We signed for the try out. Went to try out. Coach was so impressed with DS, he gave him an offer on the team on the spot.

What if your kid had a bad first ID session because of a stomach bug?
They won't get asked back or you'll hear from a lower team coach. Within 15 minutes a coach knows if they think your kid is worth their time or not, sick or not.

IDs are the tryouts. By tryout time, empty spots have already been filled by the best kids that did ID sessions

That is the usually the way it’s done. DS practiced a few times with a few teams (MLSNext). The coaches always told us whether he would be invited on the team. It always seemed implied that the advertised tryout was a formality. One coach said to sign up for the tryout but that DS didn’t actually have to attend.

If you are talking about MD United starting tomorrow, they are less "practice all winter" than other ID tryouts. But have your kid ready to bring their A game

Is this a good thing to go to or are the clubs just trying to fill spots before each other without holding winter tryouts for next year?
