What are Team Placement Tryouts?
Most youth athletic leagues have placement tryouts to a) establish new teams, b) fill in spots vacated by players who do not return to the program, or c) balance/establish new leagues and programs. Not all players are required to attend tryouts and participants should verify their status when they sign up. Players attending tryouts are assigned a number and typically go through a variety of drills and skills tests. If a participant meets the required registration requirements with regards to time, age, fees, etc. and attends tryouts, then the participant will be placed on a team.
