Can someone tell me if it is normal to have a day or less to respond to an offer from a tryout? I don't think it is realistic for coaches to think that a girl will only tryout for teams that they are willing to accept an offer from immediately before trying out for any other teams. I can maybe see that if you are 16 or older as you should pretty much know if a team you are trying out for will accept you. However, at the younger ages there are so many girls trying out for teams and you never know what they need, etc. you would be crazy to try out for only teams you would say yes to without any question or any further attempts at other teams. That seems to me to be an easy way to come out of tryouts without an offer.
I understand not stringing a coach out for a long time, but one day seems unreasonable. It looks like it will just force us to say no and keep looking even though they may have been a contender after all of the tryouts are over. What is a reasonable time period and how do you handle this without offending the offering team?
