👉 In sports, a tryout is a practice session where aspiring athletes are selected for a team to participate in a competition. The purpose of this process is to provide an opportunity for athletes to showcase their skills and abilities without having to compete against other teams or players from their own schools or clubs. Tryouts can be used by coaches to identify potential candidates for positions on the team, as well as to evaluate the performance of current athletes in order to make informed decisions about who should continue with the program.
