Carol, I did not in any way reference your recollections in my off-the-wall post. I'm in no way demeaning your recollection and I never suggested otherwise.
My post was simply to point out the impracticality of holding tryouts on one weekend. It would be a system that was slanted in the favor of the larger organizations or well established teams. Parents and players would simply not have enough time or energy to attend more than four tryouts at the most. That is if you could get all of the age groups, teams, and weather to co-operate with you.
Those of us who live in rural parts of the state would be denied a fair market to operate in, whether we be players looking for a good fit or a team trying to get good players. Our plans to attend three different tryouts changed because of external factors. How would narrowing the time allotment down to the daylight hours of two separate days help?
