lol!---good one pickledad
The bottom line, if you don't hear back right away, your not going to make it, or are on the bubble. Any coach that wants an athlete will chase them to the parking lot to get them committed, before they lose them....
Once again, if they truly wanted you, they would get your commitment now, and not wait till the next set of tryouts. JMHO
So LK, are you saying that if you don't get taken aside and told at the tryout that you've made the team, then---as the saying goes..."they're just not that into you"?
I was going to go into some long drawn out reply, but you pretty much nailed it.
This is not always the case, but if they are truly interested, you will hear pretty quickly, if not, they probably have some other girls in front of you the're trying to get first.
I'm going to start backpeddling now...
Another factor is how many come to the tryouts. If you have a huge turnout, and alot for the coaches to decipher, than I would imagine that 1-2 days would not be unthinkable.
So i officially had 76 people sign up for tryouts for Classics 16u. I looked at 58 of them I would still be on the phone if it weren't for email. I used email for the ones we wanted and the ones we don't. (and there are still a few waiting for the responses from the ones we aksed). I told them all up front that itwould be that way.
- then there was this one time a few years ago. I had a tryout with about 4 or 5 pitchers. it was really a hot day and I let the parents take shade in the dugout. One of the mom's was busy encouraging her nervous daughter to stay for pitchers after she had a pretty tough tryout. She was neither skilled or athletic but a typical girl who all she really wanted to do was please her parents. The mom stayed in the dugout by herself and watched as I worked with her daughter and the other girls. She could quickly see that what she saw in her daughter was nothing compared to the girl buzzing 60 mph riseballs over the plate. I would ask the girls to throw their best pitch and in her case it was her only pitch. I let her complete the try out and walked with her to her mom as the other girls went to the other dugout to their parents. I noticed the glassy eyes in her mom's face and I could feel the girl gasp in her chest holding back her dissppointment. When I made eye contact with the mother a tear went down her cheek and she painfully smiled "that smile" and said thanx for taking the time with her. the mom had the girl's bat in one hand and the daughters hand in the other as they left the park. The trembling embrace that followed at the car made me think of all of those kind of times with my girls when they were little and big - learning lifes lessons...
I didn't call or email them and I think that was ok.
