I emailed a club on Tuesday to ask about tryouts at 2 age groups. They don't know my kids or their level of play so it shouldn't be disinterest that has them not responding. I expected a response within 48 hours even if they haven't set their tryout dates yet. Am I wrong to think that 48 hours is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a response to an inquiry?

No announcement yet.
How long is too long to wait on an email back?

My daughter was approached by a top club mid summer at a soccer camp. She waited months to hear from a coach, and then the DOC had her attend lower team practices, where she progressed a team a session until they placed her on the top team. I'm not sure this is the normal sequence. It felt like they either wanted to confirm the coaches evaluation, or follow the process and appease other parents. Her acceptance by the top team took a while. Players are competitive and she was viewed as a new threat. But by the end of the first season she was comfortable with her teammates. A few of the parents have yet to accept her, as she's taken playing time from their kids. She wonders why these parents always shoot her dirty looks, as she is friends with their daughters, covers for them defensively while regularly setting them up to score. I advise her to worry about her team and the game and to ignore the miserable, over involved soccer parents.

Just because you haven't gotten an email doesn't mean your child isn't wanted.
