My child didn't make the team at tryouts. What now?

- EditorsBest answerFirst, recognize your child's courage in trying out, then plan the next step together. Politely ask the coach or organization for feedback on what to work on. Many organizations have a second team, a development program or a house league, and other organizations may still be holding tryouts. A training program or camp can also help your child build skills before the next attempt. Tryout dates can change from year to year, so set up email reminders on the site calendar to avoid missing registration deadlines.
