bamr1,
By the way, I heard the turnout for the 2nd tryout was a little stronger than the first, but still relatively low. I was thinking the 2nd tryout might be even stronger than it was because I thought more players that didn't make the team of their choice with other clubs might come and check out what CESA-Columbia had to offer. I imagine that other clubs' requiring players to accept offered spots by relatively early deadlines, probably "forced players' hands" to some degree, making some reluctant to take a chance on going to CESA-Columbia's 2nd tryout before making their final decision. I find it unfortunate that there is a pressure to accept what is offered before being able to explore all the possibilities.
