Even staggered tryouts can create difficult situations. If your child wants to try out with a competing club, and the tryout dates are staggered, the child may end up in a situation where the first club (knowing the player has started tryouts with a competing club) wants a decision from the child by the next day, before the club has even posted the selections for the rest of the teams. Some kids still make a final decision based on whether they feel comfortable at a club based on friends, or personalities on a team. It can create a lot of anxiety for a child when one club demands an answer before the child has all the information needed to make a decision.
