    MAPLE qualifying tournament before tryouts?

    So, why does MAPLE have its qualifying tournament in June prior to when teams have tryouts? It doesn't seem to make sense in that a team that qualifies for fall play could in fact be comprised of different players after tryouts.

    It also doesn't seem fair to make the kids tryout for a team that they just helped secure a MAPLE slot.

    Nature of the beast?

    I was just thinking tonight how some clubs provide "pre-tryout" invites. In other words, you know where you stand going into the tryout season (in confidence, of course). If you're staying, great. You can breath a sigh of relief. If you're on the cusp or about to be cut, you're aware of that also and can make your tryout plans accordingly.

    Why don't more clubs do this? Or do they?

      If you are interested in playing for a particular club you can contact the coach and ask to come to some practices to see how your kid meshes with the team. The coach isn't supposed to do first contact, but whatever.

      Its a good way to get a feel for a team without the pressure of tryouts. Be aware that kids text and your activities may get back to your home team, but if you are serious about leaving the more interaction you have with prospective new teams the better for you.
