Yesterday was son's final practice before Freshman cuts... He will find out after school if he made it or not--name on the list you practice, not on the list--make a phone call for an early ride home. Lots of great athletes trying out this year, so there will be a handful of solid players cut, just do to the numbers. If I'm nervous, can only imagine how my son is doing waiting these last few hours...

Actually coaches may adjust the number of players they keep on the freshmen squad. Our school the freshmen squad is usually 15. However, when the coaches see many good athletes, they can keep up to 20.

Our coach's favorite story: a boy at freshmen tryout seemed completely uncoordinated but he's tall and have potential. So the coach kept him and groomed him for pitcher. Three years later, he's the #1 pitcher for HS and First Team all County; now he's the #1 pitcher in a D3 powerhouse.
