June Tryouts

We need to schedule our tryouts the June 1st and a second date.  Please also comment with your practice schedules for now through June 15 as the third time people can try out is at a practice.  Players new to travel do not need to wait until June 1 to come to a practice.  If they are posted here we can direct appropriate players to your existing practices.  I have had a few of these sort of players ask for practice information already.  Please only post practices where their is likely a coach who can evaluate the player who is trying out.  IN the past I have invited potential players to watch games and work with the coach before or after a game.  That might work better on a game you will win but not necessarily.  Sometimes the player and his family wants a higher level of competition and admires the way your handle the pressure and the competition.

I talked to Brock.  He says that on June 1st:
        Eclipse is 1-8 pm at Jefferson
        Galaxy is  5-9 pm at Comissioner's
        We could get a permit for a field and all the space round it before 5 pm at Commissioner's Park
        There are several other park locations available for permit.
If you know about other competing tryouts please post that information here so we can plan around it.

We have 5 home games at commissioners 12-6:15 June 1.  To help with the planning I have posted all our home games for June 1-14. If you have an away game that week please add a comment below.  We also need suggestions of where to hold tryouts.

      I had a few thoughts on tryouts. We have been concerned about doing
      them all at once...too much confusion. While it does look good to have
      a lot of people around, I think too many can be bad too. So, let's try
      to figure a good amount. I'm thinking about 6-8 teams at once is good.
      Your thoughts?

      I think the fact that several teams have games at Commissioners is a
      good reason to consider down there. However, our constituency is more
      on the north side and I wonder if we are dissuading anyone if we are way
      down there. Think about it.

      Also, I know the two girls teams I am trying to pull together (U8 and
      U10) are all based on the north side, and mostly at Beebe and I'd much
      prefer to have a simple tryout here. It would be nice to do it with the
      other Challenger's girls tryouts.

      So, I know Jim has been looking into fields and Kathy too. My input is
      that we should arrange to have at least one tryout here on the north
      side and I think it might be good to separate into boys and girls.

        I am unsure if we need to go to the trouble of renting space from the school district. If we show up at Kennedy on June 1, school is already out so there will be no school functions. I do agree with possibly splitting this up somehow. Perhaps June 1, girls at Commissioner's and boys at Kennedy. June 3, girls at Kennedy and boys at Washington (unsure what the fields look like there). Anyway -- just ideas.

          I'm a bit concerned about the Eclipse in our own back yard, so to speak, so I agree with a central location vs Commissioners. Eclipse is doing Boys 1st & 3rd and Girls 2nd & 4th. Is there not enough space at Arrowhead? We could get field permits for both fields and take up the space around them.

            Arrowhead has fields but I am sure it has at least some games. That is not a problem if we stay off the fields. On sunday 1/2 of us must be at comissioners for our home games. Maybe I see if there is space to move some games to arrowhead 6/1 and hold the main one at arrowhead and a second at Commissioners for those who have games there. On 6/3 maybe wee use Kenedy or Jefferson. That seams to accomodate everybody's needs buts spreads us out a little.

      All, I told many people we would have our tryout info together by Fri of last week. I already have 5 emails this morning looking for tryout info. I like Jim's idea about moving the later games on 6/1 from Comm to Arrowhead. I believe our 3:45pm U10 game and Don's U11 boys 5:00pm game from Comm to Arrow should be all that is needed. Jim, can you get this done? I agree that tryouts at Comm are too far. We could do the tryouts at Arrowhead or even Kennedy that evening 6/1. I like the idea of having the boys and girls on the same day seperated on the field, both days. Whatever works, I'm fine with it. Let's just decide and move on it. We should have fliers out now and should be able to spread the word with dates, times, and locations. Lack of decision has lost us players in the past, lets make sure we do everything possible to not let it happen again.

      Don, Kathy and Jim were involved with an email discussion on this for a while. Here is the most recent proposal from Don:

      If it is OK with you guys, at this point, I suggest we just go ahead with tryouts on Sunday, June 1 and Tuesday June 3 at the times (per age group) as Kathy suggested only at Kennedy, both boys and girls.

      U8 & U9 at 5:30-6:30, U10 & U11 at 6:00-7:00, and U12 & U13 6:30-7:30.

      Jim thinks this should work as it conflicts with few games and other clubs have been working on Sunday evening tryouts. Glxy is at Commissioners that night.

      Black Thunder has 2 away games between June 1 and 14:
      June 5 7 PM in Aurora
      June 14 4 PM in LaGrange

      I know we've said that the June 1 tryout will be in the PM. I will be in Wisconsin earlier in the day, and will be back by 6:30 PM.
