Each player must remember that they are competing for the next level of play, which is a 'State Team'. Therefore, every player needs to perform at his or her best in all areas. All players invited to the State Team tryouts will receive a written invitation from the CYSA ODP Chairman. If the paperwork is not returned in time, a player cannot participate in the tryouts. At the State tryouts, the best 22-24 players are selected for the State ODP teams pool.
Selection is based on the same criteria as for districts, but the competition is tougher.
Remember that you are competing against the best players in the state. If you do not make the pool, improve and try again next year. Make sure you receive an evaluation from your State coach. This will help you know what you need to work on for the next year. Do not be afraid to have open communication with the State coaches they are there for your benefit and would like to see you succeed.
