Tryout evaluation should include full game videos

[Derek1800]

I think that's a good idea.

But I doubt coaches will take the time? I guess the dedicated ones really willing to make improvements on the team will.

On the other hand, maybe tryouts should include some element of full sized scrimmages?
Put kids in whatever they think is their best position is. You can tell within 10 minutes their level vs your current defenders.

Just my opinion but if a coach needs video to judge a player then you don’t have a very good coach. A coach should be able to sus out technical skills and how they play in scrimmages in fairly short order. The scrimmage with the new team also shows how they fit in with that team and environment vs any number of factors that might not be the same with their previous team.

Also I am of the approach that a coach shouldn’t take a player unless it is clear upgrade to the roster. Although I know the big clubs differ in this approach for $$ and winning reasons.

Once again, in case anyone else here is confused, TopesWin seems to be (repeatedly, and in spite of attempted corrections) confusing me for someone else, which is presumably the source of the non sequitur vitriol. I am not a professional coach, nor have I ever been one, nor do I have a team, etc., just to be clear.

That said, the totally non sequitur tirades are sorta amusing, all things considered, and I am sorta still curious who they are actually intended to be directed at. If TopesWin would like to post who you incorrectly think I am, that might be interesting (although I also don't get into much internal club drama, so I likely won't be familiar anyway).

I will keep calling you out as long as you come on here pretending to be something you're not. Everyone is figuring out who you really are, faster than you can dupe new people. So be careful who you are putting your trust in while you're doubling down.
