Other team coaches at your tryouts?

[Passion4theGame]

I have no problems with them being at a tryout. If we are all here for the right reasons (To help these girls become a better person on and off the field) then there is no problem with it. I actually talk to coaches and send them girls for tryouts that our organization pass on. We had the honor and privilege to look at 67 girls our first tryout for 8u-14u. A lot of those girls we passed on and I sent their info to another team just to help out the coaches and the parents. Maybe they will see something our coaches missed. I would like to see these coaches and girls do well. ALL of them. I agree It would be different if the coach was in the parking lot recruiting. If we all swapped the girls that we passed on I think there would be some hidden talent found. JMO.

You have explained it better than I could have, I agree 100%! Thanks!

people would be surprised on how many practices I've ran for other teams and/or came to help them get something figured out. And, then the phone calls. Trust me, I've done it too. Asked for help. And sometimes going to another org's tryouts isn't just to take players. Many do that or try to all year. Progress in OHIO requires us to quit thinking like we have. Progress takes us into new areas. Some rough, some awesome. Build your own deal so good that nobody wants to leave. And then, quit thinking "OHIO" is where it's at if you wanna push and learn.

I seen this happen for the first time this year and I thought it was handled very well.

Funny thing...this happened at my dd's organizations tryout a couple of weekends ago. A coach from another organization brought his daughter to my daughter's organizations tryouts, actually had his daughter go through the tryout, then proceeded to recruit girls afterwards to come to his organization....and to top it off, somebody from that organization has posted in this thread that it would be wrong for the coach to be recruiting. I don't know if the person posting here is the same coach that showed up at my DD's tryout, but I do find it amusing, especially since this was for a 10U team.

Here is a different scum bag tactic. What about an organization holding tryout 30+ miles away from their home base in another organizations back yard. Even though they were not standing in a parking lot it's the same thing when you advertise in that area. No class and pathetic. You can smell the desperation in their teams looking posts.

If you ask me this is worse then what the original poster said......totally classless!

Organizations have territorial boundaries? ??

 

[Ri-domination]

What exactly is your area? Is 10 or 20 square miles around the organization leaders house?

 

[Ri-domination]

Posts like the two before mine are classless in my opinion. Pettiness, I wouldn't want my dd to go to your tryout if you lived next door, if I knew you called people scumbags simply for holding a tryout. SMH.

What about coaches attending SAME ORGANIZATION tryouts to see if there are any players they want? The 2 teams had tryouts on different dates and many miles apart from one another...same age group..... If the team hosting the tryout wanted a girl and the visiting coach wanted her too the visiting coach had first dibs.

How different is this than attending a showcase camp, attended by multiple college coaches. If a girl performs well and two coaches both offer the same girl, it comes down to the girl and the family.

First off I think you had better check yourself as I never called anyone a scumbag. Second of all I was simply agreeing that if another org. came to have a tryout where my organization was based out of then I would have an issue with that. If you do not agree then fine stay in Mount Gilead.

The difference is that the coaches represent different colleges. These coaches represent the same org and the same age group. I will add that that the coaches were against this. It was the Org head that requested it happen.

 

[Ri-domination]

Well I don't need to "check myself" but the poster before you did say that and I was referring to both posts, yours agreed with his and as you just said you basically believe organizations have some kind of territorial rights. There is some of the pettiness I was referring to, it also make me wonder if that organization feels they have "rights" to the kids that live in that territory. So with that being said I HAD better do nothing.

 

[Ri-domination]

Furthermore, things get a little sketchy when you start trying to tell other people what to do.

 

[Ri-domination]

Just as you all are entitled to your opinion so am i, I DID refer to two posts and if you didn't say that you have nothing to worry about. I could care less where any organization holds its tryouts, in my opinion it only offers more opportunities to more kids. I can't help but see how that is beneficial to the kids. A lot of the teams out there in Ohio that are being successful do have kids from more than 30 miles apart. I'm sorry but I thought these kids being successful was a big part on why so many parents and coaches put the time that they do invest into this sport.

Well we will have to agree to disagree.....it was the inference to name calling I was referring to if I made the mistake of leaving the scumbag part of a quote in then that is my fault and accept that....I was only agreeing to the premise of the tryout. So I hope this settles this between us and as I said we will have to agree to disagree.

Sorry, my comment was about the original post

I agree that there r no boundaries when holding a tryout in my opinion, in fact one of the top organizations in the state had one here a couple of weeks ago in it is 2-3 hours from "their area" n i have no problem at all with it, but that being said i do find it amusing because when they couldnt beat us one year there were several parents posting on ofc that we wouldnt beat them or b as good if we didnt have a ringer from out of state playing for our organization? I guess they r the only ones allowed to recruit far away?
