Just blow off practice week of other tryouts? Would like to have my kid tryout at a few places. All are weeks before the season ends. Do practices end up a bit empty some weeks or do most people just stay where they are? Trying to do this without burning bridges.

Don't bother with tryouts at FSA, as they won't bump an ECNL player for you based on tryouts.
Instead, just approach the ECNL coach and ask if he wants your kid. If so, your kid gets on the team without wasting your time at tryouts.

No need to turn the thread into a club bash fest.
Yes you will see lots of kids with "dentist appointments" this time of year = we're trying out elsewhere. Clubs know it happens. Most wont' be too dickish about it but some will. Best keep everything to yourself until you know for sure what your plans are. Even then if you think the coach might be a real dik and pull PT form your kid for the rest of the season (happens) then wait until it's all done.

Thinking of trying out for OW GDA or FSA ECNL U14. Probably both. Not from either club. CFCU too far. Kid has a bright headband and bright tee-shirt to wear, so she stands out. When she gets both offers, we'll figure out what we want to do based on pros and cons.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat's a great thought, thank you. However, my kid should probably play at least at her level, so dropping down to Sporting would be counterproductive. In fact, FSA would probably want to play her up a year.
