Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo they're not, even more so if they're large and there's an insufficient number of evaluators. Some kids can standout in tryouts because they're faster or bigger or just have a really good day. If you want your kid to really try out for a team then you should get them to some team practices. That's a better way to evaluate their skills and fit with a team. But clubs still run them and sometimes it's the only way your player can tryout.

They only have value if it’s a brand new group of kids. Better to just give feedback throughout the year. Most tryouts coaches have 90% already selected as they know the kids.
