Usually, tryouts are the first 2 weeks in December. The early dates selected for 12U tryouts would not have anything to do with the new team(s) starting up at the Universal Sports Academy in Martinez. would it??? Your thoughts?????
Pure speculation:
I would speculate that the fall season for the 12U is ending the last weekend in October or first weekend in November. Either that or no more so cal trips/showcases after Nov 1/2. Hence they may as well start tryouts (maybe open practices more appropriately). At this age more than any the unknown talent they can get to the table the better off they will be come gametime. It's like an open duck season all year.
I would speculate that the fall season for the 14U and older teams will conclude their season either at the pre-thanksgiving Surf City or The Brenda Marsh Nov 28-30. At this level, there aren't too many unknowns.
I think you are right that November seems early, but not so bad in the landscape of 12U or 10U. December seems right for the older teams.
