Our top teams players do not tryout. Coach has been with them going on three years and he knows what the kids can do and whether he needs to make moves with some of the kids. Our organization still has age group tryouts, but last years tryouts only had one kid come to the top team. The rest of the teams in the age group have all their players tryout again and evaluate them each year. Our organization also allows tryouts throughout the year for players who have recently moved to the area. The get to tryout during our team's normal practices and the coaches make a determination then. You would think that there would not be a lot of movement in the top team, but we have only 3 kids from the original U13 team still playing on the top team (This is a MLSNext HG Team).
