There are NO tryouts. Look at the registration form. Players are put on teams matched with players of like ability, experience and yes, talent. This guarantees more than adequate playing time for ALL players. In the Pee Wee system, if you were NOT a superstar or the son of a parent who patronized the head coach, you at best may get a token down or two. Winning, only winning and coaching ego's were the main motivators in that league. They can toss all the BS they want about development there, but too many kids are developed to ride the pine, to be complacent with no success, and to cheer on others at the cost of their own playing time. A players self esteem becomes a non-factor win a W is at risk.

I know there are no try outs, I was just hoping someone would come out and actually state what you posted. You are put on what ever team the coaches want, that is worse than try outs. So a talented new player to the program has no chance at being on the select team. Yes, it is a select team. You have select teams and then talk about it being about development. Don't forget all your coaches are daddy coaches that is a lot of patronizing.
