Reply to "2016 Area Code Underclass Tryouts in Midwest; Ways To Secure Invite"

 

We're in the footprint of the ChiSox AC team and tried to get an invite to a tryout for my 2017 last summer.   We reached out to people who had contacts with CSA, and even tried contacting CSA directly, to no avail. 

In the end it was fine: my son was invited to tryouts in another region (and was selected for one of the Underclass Teams).   I had been warned by various people that there was a lot of noise in the process; this kind of confirmed that. 

According to my son, there were a number of kids at his initial tryout who were solid but unspectacular, while quality players from the same region whom he knew well and had played with/against were not invited.   As with anything else designed by humans, randomness and luck played their usual roles.
