Team Tryout Tips Wanted

For those of you out there who are experienced in holding tryouts and evaluating players, we want to hear from you. I just received an e-mail from a coach who will be holding tryouts and is expecting 40-80 players per age level. He wants any and all tryout tips from coaches who've been through this process before.

What should coaches look for?
What should they evaluate players on?
Any specific skills the players should perform or drills they should run through?
What about non-skill related issues - set up? Forms? Length of tryout? etc?

If you have some good tryout tips, please share them by leaving a comment here at the blog (click on the comment link below) or e-mail them to us at allaboutfastpitch@hawaii.rr.com.

Thanks in advance!
