Making tough choices

Tryout Camps aren't for players, they're for coaches.
They're to help you build the team you want, whether it's for a house league, a rep team, or for all-stars. These suggestions may help you set up and run a good try-out and draft.

Once you've read over the written tips, it's very important to review the field use diagram. Effective field use makes it easier to keep the players organized, and makes it easier for the coaches to see everyone they want to get a good look at.



Safety

Always important - more so in Tryouts - is player safety. It's early in the season so players are injury-prone, and you have more players than usual at a game. Consider the safety precautions you'd take for a tournament and apply these to your tryout sessions.
