Great weather here yesterday, today not so much. Problem is our HS holds tryouts at 5:00am. Which means the kids need to be in the field-house and ready to go at 4:45am. Still a little chilly at that time to move them outside. I do know our soccer and lacrosse tryouts were held outside on the turf yesterday. Unfortunately we only have 1 turf field which means the last team to use it held tryouts from 10 to midnight last night.
Years ago our HS was being "renovated" which really meant they were tearing it down section by section and rebuilding it while still attempting to use the HS. We were really stretched for places to hold spring tryouts. Somehow the baseball team drew the short end of the stick and had the early slot for those tryouts. We won the state championship that year, so its now become tradition to hold tryouts that early in the morning. As the coach says, "if you are not dedicated enough to get here for an early morning tryout, you don't want it enough". Plus it kinda gives the kids something to rally around. They can bitch and moan to each other about the early mornings, but it really does have an effect of bringing them closer together as its something they faced as a team.
