Re: Anybody been offered a "free ride" so far this tryout season ?

For absolute sure there are teams/coaches offering players to come to their team and play for free. It is a fabulous enticement. Fair, maybe not, but what a great way to be able to put a team together. You buy it. I am not sure what it says about the coach's abilities as a coach, as players may not come to him because he is a great teacher, but will come if he pays. If you do not think it is happening then you are naive.
