12U Sudden Impact Tryouts - WHAT A JOKE!

[THE MAD-DOG99]

Momto3 are you saying that you received a call?

If so, I'd recommend that the Sudden Impact coaches figure out which parent that they called back has 3 kids and try and weed out this cancer of a parent from the start. Sudden Impact will field a solid and competitive team and they don't need parents like you.

Go back to "Pump, Pump, Pump it up" rec ball!

Closer....you are so damn mean...!!!

Then again ..that's what I like about you and you are usually right...

How's things....?

[Under the Radar]

The way Mom handled it obviously wasn't the best and Fat Daddy's explanation was a good one unfortunately doesn't make it any less pathetic..
Bottom line , it shouldn't happen but does happen..

Coaches post for the "tryouts spot earned"...translation I already have 8 kids that are coming out and have made the team but they still have to "tryout"..

If I post that I am just looking for a few players ...I might lose out on that sleeper kid...?

Then the tryout comes and there is always a few kids that are not going to make the team and are just out there by themselves..The coaches never talk to them or the parents and then at the end they get the token, thanks for coming out...

Not saying it happened here , but it does happen and hurt parents react accordingly...

This entire post is a load of Dog S**T.... If a coach has his eye on a certian kid for a spot so be it, Just know that your kid better go out and turn some heads. If they are truly better & were passed becouse of polatics, why would you want to be on that team. As far as wasting your time, if DD did not perform then she wasted your time. Remember its not what you have done so much in the past, It's what you do now. We have kids on our team that know that right now they my not be the starting SS or Pitcher but they also know that when they do get their one or two innings to come in in a friendly they better turn some heads otherwise the point is mute.

Wasn't Momto3 pumping up SoCal Extreme Heat 12U B TCS whatever whatever blah blah ? Anyone really surprised ?

We were also hounded for weeks up until a few days before making sure that we were going to be there for tryouts...Why so aggressive if you weren't even interested?? I chalk it up to a lesson learned...now we know.

They don't know us and we don't know them. Except for the moment as my DD signed in, there was no communication during the "tryout".

hhhmmm, I'm confused...
they hounded you, or there was no communication?

regardless, can't you see what you are doing to your kid's reputation by coming on here and complaining?
if it was so bad, you should be happy to have dodged this bullet...i get the impression that the team is the one that dodged the bullet...yeesh.

You are right 100%...don't get me wrong...just playing devils advocate...obvious through the post why it was posted...
Don't find many parents of stud kids complaining about tryouts or how they are run..?
Just pointing out that it does happen and coaches should talk to all kids and the parents no matter what to avoid hurting the kid and the parents...

[as the world turns]

I think you should be Momto4 or Momto5, you still have too much time on your hands and you are not helping your DD.

Momto3, does this sound familiar:

I'm not at all defensive...I find all of the bad comments towards this extreme heat team humorous! Some people must have a beef with them and its funny to see how they go out of their way to point things out to make themselves feel better. So predictable yet funny!

It seems that you are doing the same thing! In your own words, you are going out of your way to point things out, to make yourself feel better. So predictable yet funny, no????
Hmmmmm.......

Momt03, FYI ! I think by you complaining and trying to throw the SI coaching staff under the bus just backed fired on you . Every tryout has it's positives and negatives of course . But you really went out of your way to bash the SI staff and their organization . How classy is that ?What does that say about you as a parent ? A good parent or player never complains to others , especially when they don't perform at a high level . They keep to themselves and move on to the next team if they are not satisfied . Your post sounds personal to me !!

Took my DD to this tryout as well. I was impressed with the way it was run, very structured and kept the girls busy. Also believe the coaches had sincere interest in all the girls there as I have never met the three coaches before Saturday and to my knowledge, they have never seen my DD play before nor did they ever scout her either and yet she still managed to get the call to come back for the next tryout. We will be there!

Uhm....yeah!

My $.02 on this post is that possibly her daughter was recruited, but did not receive enough attention and A$$ KISSING at the tryout. Therefore, the hurt feelings. Again, just my perception. Probably wishing she could retract this whole post
