CUSC experimented with a radical new approach to the U18 girls' classic team last season; rather than have a conventional tryout setup with associated fees, we invited players based on recommendations from area coaches (including, of course, our own recommendations from players we had prior experience with) for players who would be competitive and benefit from training at that level. No tryout fees for having a look at them, and we tried to minimize overall cost. Seemed like a crazy idea, but the resulting team made it to the PMSL finals match...guess it wasn't that crazy!
