I think it is rude and disrespectful to not contact the player and tell them yes or no and what they lacked by by not being chosen. Not being the coaches DD, neighbor or other lack of skills. If a girl did not want to play ball, she would not go to the trouble of showing up. The responsibility of an orginazation starts with the courtesy of letting a player know either way.

I believe that if a tryout consists of just one weekend the coaching staff will probably know by the time the sun sets who made it and who didn't,however if there are multiple tryouts in several locations with big turnouts then it will oblivious take the staff a few days to pick their individuals and let the parents know..I really don't think sending letters in the mail or such things like that is necessary,just give them the courtesy of a phone call and let them know where they stand.Just make it cut and dry and to the point that way nobody is sitting around wondering.

Also, what does your rejection call sound like.

Im sorry i just dont think that a phone call to a family that mabey had to travel a distance is a waste of time to a coaching staff..Yea mabey the girls that didint make the team do not posses the skills to make the team but they did show up and do what they could when asked.Now i know this game and tryouts isnt a popularity contest and about making friends but you also have to consider that the girl you just sent away without some kind of yes or no answer may become a great player the following year and sometimes that simple phonecall or straight-up no not this year comment may bring her back the following year.. ps i normally agree with katjoebenenmon,and of course the ringer.

OK. I took the Bears advise and didn't start at the bottom of this post. Started in the middle, page 5 or 6 I think......;& That was weird. I think I'll stick with reading from the bottom up.
Funny thing is, everyone has valid points on this post. Just depends on individual situations and what side of the fence you're on. I will agree, I think it is honorable to inform each person that tried out where they stand. It is the right thing to do. Such is life though, not everyone does the right thing all the time.
The whole experience can be a visious circle. Players, weighing their options, coaches weighing their options, stale mates, indecisions, reluctance, aprehension, etc, etc. It all comes into play no matter what side of the fence you're on.

I Liked Chain Reactions Philosophy.. They gathered the Girls after tryouts Behind the dugout ... and said IF we call you name Your ON the Team... Now If we dont Please come back to one of the Other tryouts and Try again we encourage that . They also took some kids who were really close to what they wanted, and asked them Personally to come back to the next round of tryouts. But you left knowing your Standing with that Organization. A little Blunt but You didnt need to go off Wondering if you would get a call or not....

Like Bear said, our organization WILL get back to you in a reasonable time frame. I am an assistant, and the head coach and I made most phone calls by Wednesday, a few Thursday. The players and parents thought highly enough of our team to give us their time, and show off their skills, the very least we can do is call to thank you for your time, and yes we would like to have you on our team, or I'm sorry, not at this time. Hard to believe you would not get the courtesy of a simple phone call. Good luck everyone!!!!

Thank you!
When asked at sign ups, will we be called if we don't make the team? My answer was you will be contacted within 24 hours if you Do make the team. So we were straight up on the communication aspect.
We wont make rejection calls because how can you do that if 40 girls show up? C'mon!
It is better to just tell them up front if you do not get a call tonight or in the next 24 hours please try out for another team. We will not hold people up for 3 days it would take to call 20 - 40 girls and have them miss other try outs waiting. We all have day jobs. Sorry!

If you tell a young kid she has made the team and don't go to other tryouts, then call back a week later after most tryouts are over, then I have a problem with that. I as an adult can handle it, but how do you tell a young kid? I think as Adults we need to be careful how we handle young kids. If there is any question about a kid making your team at least be upfront and let them go to other tryouts!

Always have a back up plan. Assume no position is guaranteed.
