I had someone on this board once jump down my throat because I mentioned that I had briefly spoken with an AC at a tryout once to remind him my DD was a catcher and ask if they would like to see her catch (since they were ending the tryout and hadn't asked her to catch at all). This person insinuated that I was some type of psycho helicopter parent for coming any closer to the tryout than the parking lot. So, parents apparently can't win. Personally, I watch but do not interact unless someone asks me a question.
ETA: I was trying to reply to Corlay's post on p. 1, but the quote didn't come through.
In your case I think it only fair you mention the position your DD plays. However in general I agree that watching tryouts from as far away as possible is the best bet.
