This isn't for all clubs, but I know some coaches will place pennies on kids they already know and leave the kids they don't know in clothes. This way when taking notes it's easier. Example: Red shirt blah blah blah. Manchester blah blah blah.

The numbers are too small to read and often not in the correct direction.

There is no pattern.

Agree

I thought they did it by seasonal color analysis like in the 80s. Your kid is a spring so they got lime green mines a winter so they got navy blue.

Went to several try outs this year - no consistency across clubs but perhaps within clubs there is a strategy.

Now I'm going to start paying more attention. I never noticed a pattern.

Sometimes I think it is used to differentiate players from inside/outside the club. Players from inside the club get one and a player from outside do not get one.
