The BEST Way to Cut Players After Tryouts // 3 Steps on How to Cut Players From Your Team

Coaching is such a rewarding job. Actually, I wouldn’t even call it a job, because when you love what you do – is it really work?
There’s so much good that can come from coaching, from something as small as giving a little tip to a kid who’s struggling, to something as big as shaping a child’s positive view of themselves that they carry on into adulthood.

But even though there a tons of great things about coaching, it’s not all sunshine and roses, especially when it comes to cutting players from a team.
I would say that’s one of the worst parts about coaching, but it doesn’t have to be!

It’s possible that cutting a player can be a positive experience for both player and coach, and in today’s bullpen bulletin, I’m discussing my 3 step process on how to cut a player from a team – where they walk away smiling instead of feeling defeated.

3 Steps:
1) Start with Things They Did Well
2) Things They Should Improve & Why They Didn't Make the Team
3) Next Steps & Where They Can Play

yeah, i’ve coached softball for 8 years for a local school, and there have always been few enough girls that i can justify keeping them all, the most was 17 and that was a rough year…. but this year 25 are signed up to try out and i have to cut at least 8!!

I'm guessing this also applies for other sports
