If you are an alternate every training session is a tryout. If you are named to the team then your tryouts are over. Having 16 alternates is absurd, just as naming 23 to a team is. With recent poor player retention on the girls side it looks like SCYS ODP is trying to keep as many kids around the program for as long as possible. I think this approach will backfire. It doesn't seem to be much of an honor to be on a team that keeps everyone.
