Reply to "HS tryouts - thoughts?"

Texas 6A  2800-2900 enrollment Grades 9-12

"Tryouts" concluded last week, but teams were prob grossly established before then. Likely meant for athletes in other sports, transfers, and final looks at bubble players.

Many programs here have Baseball as a "class" for those who aren't in football in the fall, and there are "cuts" from the class when school starts in late summer. Having said that, not making the "class" is not a death sentence. Kids have made some sort of team even after being cut from the class in late summer.

HS Coach runs week long summer "camps" K-8. For the 8th graders, it's basically a week long tryout including metrics. Between that and 'Middle School Matchup", HS coaches have an idea of what's in the pipeline.

Program is huge, which is a credit to the coaches. The level of commitment from coaches is incredible, and reflected in results. Gotta be over 100 athletes in program across all four years. Seems like a factory at times. Didn't see many cuts from last week per se. I'm sure they happened. Congrats to all those who "made it" everywhere and get to play this wonderful sport!
