Some advice for everyonat homee who tried out. Stage 2 tryouts are this Saturday. I believe there are at least 3 tournaments going on in our area this weekend. It's not right that some kids that deserve a shot at this will have to pass up the opportunity to try out simply because of loyalty to their team. Everyone should send a email to ODP expressing their concern about the tryout dates. If ODP doesn't change the date, they will be passing up on some really talented kids. Heres the email address. Shoot th a email, just explaining your concerns about the date. If enough people voice their opinions, maybe they will change it, and out kids won't be forced to pass this up....

If your coach is more co concerned about winning a meaningless tournament instead of the development of your child then you should really start looking for a new club.

Seems like a failure at all levels at least on the girls side. How can you claim to want the best of the best knowing that the majority of high level teams are playing this weekend? Regardless of what some have said, you can't miss a team event (unless it's a practice) for something like this. They might as well either accept the 2nd or 3rd tier if they keep Saturday.

ODP used to mean something years ago when teams practiced one or two times a week and the difference in playing ability on teams was pretty large. Big difference now, as teams regularly practice 3 or 4 times a week and competition within on most higher level teams is pretty tight. To miss a tournament for a tryout for something you will practice once a month is kind of ridiculous.
