The tryouts have been starting earlier every year. It seems to be the trend, at least since 2015.

Times have changed or do they just what the $$$ sooner now?

Many moons ago /w youngest club started at u9 ( 1-2 u8's playing up) Tryouts in Feb/March near the end of state cup.

If you're team was still playing during tryouts (Round of 8 in St Cup for example) then your team was set/good for the next season. The Timing of the tryouts always seemed odd to me since we were always still playing & didn't attended those.

New players had the best chance if they attended multiple tryouts, as the ages went up more players for fewer spots , for example 45 going for 2 "A" team openings so there could be a lot of competition to get on a team.

So having tryouts so early is not ideal but neither is having all seven clubs in your area holding tryouts on the same nights.

All the clubs are trying to beat each other to the punch. If they are all on the same night, you’ll know which of your current players might not come back.
 
Tryouts for initial academy year teams often times go early to get a jump on the comp.

Always some drama when many players from so many different clubs show up. Sometimes the word gets around so quickly current coaches are known to be texting parents ...15 mins into it... I recall from some surprised parents
