WISCONSIN/Badger Region Club Season |
Lead | |
|
The "Season" has officially begun. How do you think 1st weekend of tryouts went? What kind of offers were made? How is the new deadline schedule shaping the process?

As a coach love the new offer format. Not sure how players like it but I would think it is going to benefit some that might otherwise have to wait until later for an offer

So what is a parent to do?
Have an offer from club A that expires Thursday, but do not have one from prefered club B. Club B gave only a few offers out and they want us back Saturday!! Do you call the director of preferred club B to get their opinion and chances of kid getting an offer Saturday. Did anyone consider this when they made the new rules? |

Contact Club A as well. It is my understanding that clubs can choose to extend the offer to a player so they would not have to notify the club until 6pm next monday. That is at least how it was explained to me.

I think they considered it and yes, you could definitely call the director. They will be honest I hope. I know ours would be on where she stands and why an offer wasn't made yet. Good luck, and so far I like the offer system. It is a benefit to the kids waiting out their like your daughter who is maybe in line waiting for someone to take or not take an offer ahead of her.

As a parent I like the new system. Daughter A is set with her "dream" offer and is looking forward to a great season. Daughter B has her "not so dream" offer, but has been told of a possibility of moving up based on acceptance and non-acceptance of others. It will be nice that she will have her answer by this weekend. We won't have to wait until the end of Nov. to know for sure. The new system is benefiting the Clubs for sure, but in some cases it is benefiting the girls stuck in the waiting game.

As an outsider looking in, could someone describe what the "new tryout system" is in Wisconsin?

The tryouts have not changed, but rather the offer/acceptance timeline policy.

In the past, when a club offered a player a position, the offer stayed with the player until the Monday or Tuesday following the last tryout Sunday (this coming one) We had players kind of holding clubs hostage as they tried out a couple of clubs or more to see what offers they could get. Because of this, a club could offer player A a spot, not offer B a spot or offer her a 2's spot, which doesn't make her happy. B then goes to another club and accepts an offer there. A then decides that she really wants to play for Club C. B would have preffered to play at Club 1 but didn't feel she could wait.
We also had clubs pushing more to accept offers and parents and players didn't always understand that the offer didn't expire and they couldn't take it away. I know I was unaware of that rule the first year my daughter tried out. Now the offers return to the club this Thursday evening. The club can reoffer immediately if it is a player they really want. Or they can move on down the list and make someone elses day! |

Let's talk | ||

Boy did WI get quiet. This thread was all the way on the 5th page because of the silence.
Now that try-outs are over and offers have been accepted, what do we think? What teams look strong? Any surprises in try-outs? Who went where? |

Seems like our Club scene is in the deep freeze! Come on folks! Talent around the Madison Area looks good....How about in your neck of the woods? New Clubs, Old Clubs, Mergers etc. We will all do just fine. The interesting question will be who is going to attend the Qualifiers and how strong will the competition be?
