Son had 80 players tryout for his middle school team a few years ago. We brought in a few outside coaches to help rank players and did a pro day showcase to make first day cuts. Then had 3 days of practice to cut it down to 17. As was said, we had already selected about 10 kids through the previous year and watching/coaching travel ball. It was really just finding the diamonds in the rough. We found a few LHP's to invest in and a kid who could run bases very well. Had to teach him to read a pitcher and slide.
