The west coast contingent of U24 tryouts was held on Saturday and Sunday, 17-18 NOV, in San Luis Obispo, CA after being moved from Tracy, CA last minute due to wildfires. There were 202 athletes invited from a pool of over 550 to compete for the 72 spots on the women's, men's, and mixed teams. The tryouts were held in two parts, East and West, to accommodate players coming from 27 different states (28 including DC). The schedule was shifted slightly for the west coast tryout to allow everyone to make the 3+ hour trek down to SLO from their flights initially booked into SFO. Saturday was a grueling 8 hour day with minimal breaks followed by 4 more hours on Sunday. Tryouts are already a major point of discussion and with such a long weekend with so much at stake, I figured I may as well share my experience.
