I think some of you are missing the point of these events, its not to put the top MD team or whatever and win it, its to make $$$ for those that host the events.
Complete open tryouts is the evidence. And don't let anyone tell you your kid shouldn't try out. You don't even need to be a starter on your HS or club team to make these squads. You just need to try to make a play or two that catches someone watching at that moment. |
