My take, and feel free to pass on to SUSA management.... There are 80 kids trying out. 50 of them are existing SUSA players. They let them all scrimmage for 10 minutes to warm up in 5v5 then break them up into 9v9 ... they take the existing A team to verse themselves, another game is what looks like the B team playing each other, then all the new players playing against each other. I guess this is ok because you want to break out the existing players because you already know how they play. At least that is the idea, but when you watch 5 trainers spend approximately 90% of their time with their backs to the new players it is annoying. We would watch the trainers stand in the middle of the field in a group talking facing their existing team scrimmages, then occasionally one of them would turn around and make a 360, then go back to their conversations.... Other tryouts I have been to with my other kids, there is a trainer on each scrimmage watching it, then he would switch games with another trainer. This way they all get good looks at the kids so they can make real comparisons. This just felt like they are happy with their high level A team already and are looking to fill up a C and D team to add $$ to the till.
Very disappointing after hearing good things about SUSA...
