Warren, You made it clear that you want every kid at your tryouts anyway. LOL.. It was said, ' the outlaws fly solo ' qoute from Warren himself. All well and good. The other groups that think this will work, Lets make a time, meet somewhere and set it up. It may not work, but it just might.. First year could be rough, 2nd and 3rd years.. Could be no parent goes to a tryout anywhere and just comes here... PM me some places we all wanna meet and make this happen.. Again, Its for the kids and if we can make life easier on the parents, it in return makes life easier on the coaches for finding kids. Its all possible. lets see what we can do.

Not sure that was my exact words but did say I'm not interested in doing this.

We all respect your choice Warren. There are others that do wanna try it. Parents love this, kids will have a great time using a D1 college field and equipment. If we can make this work, I would go as far to say as single organizations tryouts may become a thing of the past. It takes Parents to drive kids to tryouts, parents will be more cost effective and say, we can see 10 teams with a ride to Kent. Maybe not for your this year Warren, but If we make it work, I will say in 2015 you will be involved.. I think most everyone will. these first 2 years will be the roughest.

As someone who went to 3 tryouts in one day...this would definitely have some appeal to some. Like everything in this game, it may not be for everyone, but it's worth giving it a shot for those who would benefit from it.

Clearly this is not exactly the same as the NFL combines, because it is expected that those players are looking for a new team. No hard feelings there. At a certain point in every year, coaches and parents have to be honest with each other and communicate their intentions for the next season. And sometimes NOT communicating tells you everything you need to know anyhow. I know it's hard to expect parents and coaches to actually act like grownups sometimes, if we are really looking out for the best interest of the kids, the drama can be held to a tolerable level. Whatever that may be.

I know...that is a LOT to ask for.

You have posted asking for a list of all the best players. You have posted tryout threads encouraging unhappy players to jump ship and now you're promoting a multi-team tryout so you can have access to other teams players. I suppose you deserve some credit for your tenacity in your unwavering approach.

Players go to the tryouts of teams that they are interested in playing for. With that being said, at this multi team tryout, it probably doesn't matter how many teams are there, players will show up for a specific team. There could be some who are new and want all teams to take a look at them. I feel sorry for that group, as most often a decision between 2 teams is difficult enough, let alone deciding between 8-10 teams that may be offering you a spot.... I can see multiple teams target a handful of players and get none. Now what? Now your back to holding your own tryout again!
