Tryouts for Long Island Club teams at 2017. A word from experience.
A) Do not fall for the recruiting sell. Most of the top programs have their classes all filled up. Put your money into ACT/SAT prep it is way better spent.
B) If you get placed on the B team run. All B teams are mismanaged past 10th grade. You will show up to tournaments with 12 kids and no goalie. Go to a tournament in Mass and have 12 kids dressed for three games in 90 degree weather. Its a cluster#$@%.
C) Profesional Coaching: There is no focus on development, only on how cool a bucket hat they picked up for this tournament.
Again, Run if you are placed on the B team. They won't pull you up for that special tournament. They'll call on somebody from their 2018 squad because he's friends with the coach.
Run, Run, Run.
