Were Your Tryouts Blacked Out On Live Barn?

[Guest]

If 75% are predetermined why waste everyone's time. Put the one's you want on the team you fell and the rest on a lower team. Wait 2 weeks and then allow the higher teams coach to go to the practice and take the 4 top players he wants to round out the team. It happens even with the eval so why have it. Now you have a once hopeful team and crushed their moral before the season even started.

MONEY!

Tryouts are fully sanctioned money grab events split up among board members of the clubs. None of it will go back into the associations

1. if your club is having evals and placing players just for a coach on a higher level to come and poach your team that is messed up. Nothing changes in the player between eval and the practice a couple weeks later, if they weren't good enough they still aren't.  2. If your kid is one of the poached kids that means he was on the bubble and he would be a 1st line player. Why move up and become a 3rd or 4th line player, they will get less ice time and ice time is what they will need to make the higher team the next season.  3. Players parents that are getting poached should have a backbone and refuse the move, their child is on that team for a reason.  4. This can absolutely kill the moral of entire team before the season begins. 
If you club isn't taking the tryout fee off of the tuition fee then maybe look elsewhere, ours does just that.

If tryout were payouts to the board members than I missed my check.  It pays for the ice slots.  I swear some people just stir up bs just to watch the anger and confusion of other parents.

we paid $200 to tryout multiply that by 73 kids = $14,600 minus $50 for jersey and practice socks so $150 x 73 = $10,950 divide that by 3hrs = $3650 per hour, seems to be over paying for the ice slot

Multiply that by 8u x 10u x 12u, x 14u x 16u x 18u an ice slot is $400 an hour. The coaches already know who is coming back from their teams for the next season on the first day of tryouts. They already know who is filling the available open slots which is normally 3-5 openings from the preskate money grab they had 2-3 weeks earlier. If they don't like any of those kids from the preskate and their own tryouts they wait for the rest of the league to cut their players and take them. They do this by extending tryouts x 2 to make sure they see the cuts from other teams first and that is the normal process.
