Coach’s Tip:

Ever wonder how to beat that summer camp date dilemma because everyone has already made summer vacation plans? Here’s what to do….choose a camp date well ahead of your tryout.

At tryouts, inform every one of the dates that you have selected for summer camp.
Letting them know in advance allows everyone to make plans around your team’s schedule.

While you’re making plans, don’t forget to reserve your tryout judges early!
