And how can you have a tryout for over 60 kids and not assign them to wear a number or something so you know who is who?? Just doesn't seem right.


Were the majority of kids that didn't get a fair look 7th graders? Some coaches take less skilled 8th graders over 7th graders since it's there last year to play MS lax.
