I really hate tryout season you spend hours trying to figure out who you want to tryout for and how to fit them into a tight schedule and all under the knowledge of knowing you really cant afford to make a mistake that might cost your daughter a wasted year when she only has limited years.
I really wish ASA or one of those sanctioning groups could put some sort of Class ranking and sort of group the teams.
Wouldnt it be nice to have a list of organization, past success or failure, what type of team they field and expect to field. What they expect and what you should expect to have to do.
I know it would hurt the feelings of some people who work very hard to put teams together. But having some sort of Level Ranking,(A, B, C level team) how many tourney wins, how many years the organization has existed, and what level of play they have played at in the past would help. Its like shooting in the dark right now, I always look at who is at the major tourneys but really that does not give you much info any more, with all the rebranding and the number of organizations that combine and change direction. Crap, as I look for teams Im running into people I have never seen or herd of before and Im not sure if its because they have played lower class ball or because they are some super travel team that travels outside of the tourneys Im accustomed to.
I also would not like to wast my time and the coaches time showing up for something that is wrong for my DD.
Seems like someone needs to put some sort of list together and have enough separation from the organizations listed to make it realistic. Maybe this should have been put in a rant. Just seems like a centralized tryout process might be better, sort of a combine for travel. Berliner in Columbus would seem like a logical fit plenty of fields, centralized location, and I bet we have all visited that spot at least once. Just having all the good organizations in one spot would be nice, (yes I know that is dreaming).
Pushing all tryouts into September would also be nice. Just for the sanity of being able to finish the season before the bombs start blowing up teams.
