On Tryouts: The weather was terrible, I've seen most players perform much better, but, better players can show their talent in any conditions.

On Numbers: I was dissappointed in the lack of numbers in South Carolina, some age groups were definitely worse than others - notable were the 1991's. Early ages just don't commit and play other sports, older ages just give up. The 90's (good numbers) and 91's (bad numbers) should have been the most.

On Cost: My two sons pay for half the cost of all their training (camps and individual). They referee, dog sit, baby sit & lawn maintenance. A 92 & 91, if they're that committed, the least I can do is pay for travel and club costs.

I guess that's how I can afford an SUV?
