Tryouts for my son's school start Monday, here's some tips his select coach passed along if anyone is interested:
*Get a haircut
*Be attentive, make eye contact with coaches
*Be at the front of the group during instruction
*Don’t be last, hustle always
*Be early - on time is the same as being late
*Wear school colors at tryouts, look like you belong on the team
*Have long sleeves - under-armor is not long sleeves, have cotton sleeves also for layering. Dress for cool weather, it bugs to coaches to see players not prepared.
*Gray pants for practices – no white
*Wear a clean uniform everyday
*Make sure your colors match(i.e. no burnt orange with purple)
*no, jewelry, hats backwards, walkmans, etc.
Anyone else have anything?
