One or two tryouts and club coaches are picking their club players..Is this a surprise? I would pick my own players too.. So the charge is thirty five dollars for sub regions and the families can travel and pay the expenses because most went to the events anyway..How does this help the players and families that can not afford to travel to games? I think there are more than do not go than those that do. Back to the ODP selections... Last edited by coldhardtruth; 12/22/10 03:08 PM.

The NC tryout process goes on a long time and the coaches really get to know the kids and what their capabilities are. In SC coaches are making decisions after 1 or 2 practices. Nothing is perfect.....but its a darned shame when quality kids get lost in the shuffle. Particularly in year 1 or 2 of the process. After that the caste system kicks in.... I agree. The coaches do not have a lot of time to sort through a lot of players. I too, had the impression that they were making an effort to look at everyone this year, but with that format it seems inevitable that someone will get missed,. In fairness, though, all of the players were called for two tryouts this year, and the original plan for regional selections was shelved. Given the club calendar, how would you give them more time for selection? a summer camp perhaps?

Tuscaloosa is a different story. The girls go to Gainsville and most parents do not go. So for the girls sub reginals are going to be more exspensive. Maybe even have a few that do not go because a parent cant get them there. I guess it is not so bad . Now the parent can set the cost for this instead of sc odp.The players from the Greenville area are only 1:45 minutes from Gainsville. They can stay in their own bed
