The Tryout Kit gives coaches a structured way to run a tryout that produces numbers instead of impressions. It lays out the week before, a two-hour run sheet, and how to run the testing, defense and live at-bat stations so the scores mean something. It then turns those scores into a roster board by position and need. It also covers cut day: telling each player in person, a short script, and how to handle the parent who asks why.
