Got an email from my DD's coach from last season the day before tryouts part of which read as follows:
"I am asking any family who is weighing other team options to contact me before our tryout tomorrow. As I work to establish a roster of twelve (12) it will be important to know who is evaluating other organizations as well. I do not take this position or responsibility lightly and want to do everything I can to make sure that the players who are selected are all in and not looking at or wishing that they were on a different team or questioning the situation. That does not bring success for the team or families. I will work hard for this team and believe it is important to have that effort reciprocated."
While I certainly understand his desire to know who is looking elsewhere is it really any of his business? Is it out of line for him to ask?
