I would like to tell you about my experience. In march 2002 I had a
chance to see the Toronto Lynx try-out.
After feeling out an application and paying $50 anybody
could ,participate.,
So there were at about 60 excited players. Some talented ones and
some not that great.
The try-out were indoor's for players and goalies also. The try-outs
were scheduled for 2 days 2 hours for each day.
After first day only 30 lucky players and goalies were called back
for second day.
Second day surprise the try-out is indoor's again, even for the
goalies .The Lynx coach Peter Pinizzotto try-out was there both day
but his attention was very scattered not too much attention on the
players.
A few players performed very well including some goalies. At the end
of the second day at the try-out the coach Peter Pinizzotto just
remembered that they don't need new players and goalies because
their season starts in two weeks and there is no time and space for
new players to add.
I have a few questions.
To play 2 hours of soccer and you pay $50 dollars for it is a
reasonable thing?
If a team doesn't need new players why to ask for try out fee?
For an outdoor sport how do you analyze an only indoor performance?
Can goalies be tried out in indoor goals? I know the true answer is
no but challenge me on this. I'm actively involved in European
professional soccer and I'm positively sure that is not the right
way of promoting Canadian soccer.
Conclusion: unfortunately this was a disgrace of Canadian soccer try-
out. All those participants were puzzled by this left with source
taste in their mouths sad face and they don't want to hear about
Toronto Lynx ever again.
Could I have your in put or coloration on this?
I look forward to hear from you soon.
David.
