Tryouts

I always hated tryouts for school teams when I was a kid. The feeling that some adult was going to judge you and destroy any chance of becoming that pro athlete that you always wanted to be...last night, my son went through this. He was on the 'Rep' basketball team last year. He had a blast, met new friends and travelled all over the Province. He is dying to make the team again this year. Problem is that he has moved up an age bracket and is now on the younger side. He was the tallest kid last year and now is one of the shortest. He did pretty well, and he already knows the plays that the coaches run. We'll see, there are two more tryouts on Saturday and next Wednesday. I hate it, but I guess it's just part of the process.
