Eden Prairie tryout timing

Post by Charliedog » Fri Nov 09, 2007 6:03 pm

Just curious....why does Eden Prairie hold their Jr. Gold tryouts before the high school tryouts and how does this affect the kids who get cut from high school?

The kids that are trying out for high school and haven't played JV or Varsity need to tryout for Jr Gold first. If they don't make a team they are placed accordingly to a Jr Gold team (could be A could be B, depends on talent). If you have already played JV or V you don't need to do the Jr Gold tryout route. Then if you are cut from JV or V you automatically make Jr Gold A. However, I'm pretty sure that both Varsity and Jr Gold A teams are picked before high school tryouts even start :-k .

Is Eden Prairie the only city to do that?
