We were at the Intensity tryouts. The coaching staff explained their approach:
- they accept kids into the program for training, that has a base cost
- the club enters into a lot of tournaments, some local, some that require travel (e.g., Richmond, Spooky Nook, Atlantic City) and before each tournament will announce the players selected for the team(s) they are taking the the upcoming tournament; sounded like they usually take a top team (Black) and a second team (Yellow) but for some age group with lots of players they may have a third or even a fourth team
- teams will be limited to between 7-10 players so that each player gets a good amount of playing time at the tournament
- the subset of players selected for any given tournament will be the ones who pay the additional fees related to that tournament
