This is your guide for tryouts and in-season evaluations.

Tryouts are stressful. In just a few sessions, you need to test the player's skills, their compete level and select who has the potential to be a great addition to your team. Add in the responsibility of cutting players, communicating your decisions with parents and keeping the players engaged - there's a lot to consider.
