Tryout Chaos Is There a Better Way?

In this episode of The Inside Scoop, I (Neil Crawford, founder of Anytime Soccer Training) dive into one of the biggest headaches for parents—tryout season. What if we could standardize it? What if there was a clear window for tryouts, offers, and decisions—just like college recruiting?

I explore a proposal that some states are already testing and raise questions about why this isn't the norm nationwide. Could it work if everyone agreed? What’s stopping it now?

This isn’t a rant—it’s an open question. If your state does it differently, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s figure this out…together.
