Sure we all have bad days, just that better players have fewer bad days.
Yeah, the weather was bad, but good players + desire drives good athletes to perform higher and lack of in marginal athletes to perform lower.
Why worry about continuity of coaches, they aren't playing, a consistantly good player can show his prowess repeatedly no matter the coach.
As stated on the SCYSA board, "each year is a new year and players must tryout again," it's really that simple.
Premier players, 91's aren't that old, players in this age are changing, growth spurts, awkwardness, weight, speed... Premier players come and go at this age, I'll agree with you that come 16+ the changes slow and consistancy becomes more apparent.
Right, I agree to disagree with most of your points. Just my thoughts on the tryouts too.
