Our first time through Travel tryouts has been positive.
My 12 DD decided on 5 teams to try out for... tried for all 5 ...9 total try outs.
Team 1: 12 new kids, new coach, My DD would be top pitcher...furthest away, most expensive....the nicest kids & coach.
Team 2: 2nd 12U team, top pitcher, only 6 kids so far.
Team 3: Top pitcher, very laid back organization...stay in state.
Team 4: Good org, #3 pitcher, 2nd furthest away. Good coaches. We signed her up for Fall Ball with this org.
Team 5 : last tryout today, no word yet.
Offers from 4 of the 5 teams so far.
We honestly didn't think we would get this many offers....so now we have to decide .....
...actually just hoped for one position anywhere ..
So far been very positive....
One factor we didn't figure on ... our DD measures a team upon the nice kids .. not the level of softball....only two teams with nice kids.... (team 1 team 4) ...
The girls from team 1 actually greeted all the new girls at the tryout, introduced themselves..etc....level didn't matter .. they were very nice.
The girls from 12U all aged into 14..none left this org ...
Parents at tryout really "roting" for all the kids to do well...
Many options...
