I was at the tryouts it was very fair. They grouped the boys based on previous weekends tryout assessment. Boys that seemed more advanced vs those that were not as advanced. Coaches evaluated both sides and when a boy looked stronger or weaker they switched fields and had the A team coaches on one field and B team coaches on other field. Personally, if I were running a tryout that's exactly how I would do it. Those posting kids simply did not yet have the skills for the A team are upset and need someone to blame. Trust me, if your son belonged on The A team he would have made the A team. All clubs want to win. Sometimes reality is hard and it does stink when your 8!yr old does not make a team.
