The reason for the ridiculous try out times is two-fold: 1. different sports are competing for limited field space, and,
2. Its damn hot and humid in August. I'd much rather my kid be at soccer or football practice at 7am in August than anytime between 11-3
That’s foolish. Why not say 5pm instead of 11-3pm. Also, parents work. So unless players are of driving aga, who the hell is driving them?
It’s definitely an inconvenience. WFH has been our plan. We just scheduled breaks for the times we needed to drop off and pick up or just took leave. Also there were lots of sleepovers so that kids could carpool.
HS varsity soccer has been a huge disappointment for my DD. She expected a much higher quality soccer especially when there were a handful of ECNL players on the team. The coach didn’t know what possession soccer if it hit him in the face. Join HS soccer if you want to have fun but not for quality soccer.
If a kid knows quality, how can they have fun?
Playing and hanging around with school friends and school spirit.

Your last real vacation was last summer. If he is serious - and the team has some talent - consider the summer of 24 (for all intent and purpose) over.
My son (not Moco) played all summer in league games with JV and varsity, practiced nearly every day - 2x. Weight training, running for distance and sprint drills. It was exhausting.
Started week after 8th grade ended.
A year from now, if your boy is good he likely won’t want to play for high school. Enjoy while you can!
Awesome recipe for overuse and improper use injuries.

It is WAY hotter at 5pm than 7am. Way hotter.
