Basically, we try to put almost all of the Grade 9's (Freshmen??) and older members on the team as a tryout to see how they do from the fall-winter pre-season, and then make cuts based on how much dedication they showed during that time.
I'm interested to know how you execute that. How do you tell the students they have been cut? How do they usually take being cut from a team after putting in work in the pre-season? Do they often return to the team?
