Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's not. It's about volume of participation. Large china with high tryout numbers for already settled teams will have more people to disappoint than smaller clubs looking to boost teams from smaller tryout numbers. CFC, FSA, Oakwood, Beachside, etc, could easily see 60+kids for a single team. If tryout details are centrally processed through the club, that means a lot of individual emails to send out. Unless the coaches are full time, most coaches don't have time to chase that up, given that they also probably have to see new recruits through the sign up process too. It's a lot to do if coaching is only your side job. We went to a big club tryout 3 years ago and they called all parents together as the tryout was starting and explicitly said if we didn't hear within 48 hours, then we didn't make it. The coaches doing the tryouts weren't the actual coaches of the teams, and we didn't make the cut, but we kind of knew that already, we were just taking a chance to see where the kids stacked up. But I can well believe that the bigger the club, the bigger the numbers of rejections, and expecting a part-time coach to keep on top of that as well as everything else, seems a lot to ask.
Yea- no. Was not an open tryout or cattle call.
Specifically - The tryout was 3 weeks ago- players were invited by email from the Head Coach- he was the only evaluator. There were 15-16 kids trying out for 5-6 slots.
then no email or any other communication.
I get that the answer is no- I just don't agree that the etiquette should be so low that coaches just ghost people specifically invited to tryout. It's just rude.

Can't tell you how many times Betzi sent me an email a week or two after a check deadline looking for payment when I had already dropped off or mailed in a check about a month earlier. Sure enough in another several days or so, she would find and cash it.
