Really, she did appreciate the couple of pros that were coming out to help them, even if it was based on contractual clauses. She made note of Branxton as he arrived.. and.. there was Kinsley. Good. All ready to start. She gave a nod to the man with the Arrows, she'd presume from his outfit, though she wasn't sure they had met. Even in regulations, she had more interaction with the players and the managers.. she was fairly certain he was a scout. And introductions could wait as they were starting. She did catch sight of Colin MacKenzie, however.. and of course, the Keeper turned coach needed no introduction for her. She even had the privilege of playing against him once. "Hello, Colin," she said with a friendly smile as he greeted her with a nod. As he sat down, her eyes soon settled on another approaching man. Was that Brennan Cooper? Huh. She didn't realize he was making an appearance today.

Beck heard a voice of a woman that he had never heard before. She must be the new department head. He had heard that there was a new department head in the games and sports department.A new department head was needed every once in a blue moon. New heads would bring in some very interesting ideas that would help benefit any department. Beck sometimes wished that some department heads had a time limit to how long they could be in charge of a department. She knew some French or just how to say hello in French. It wasn't that hard to figure out. "I'm Beck Salvatore." Beck stuck out his hand for her to shake. He figured that she already knew what his position was. "It's an honor to be here." Out of every keeper that they could have chosen and they chose him. He was very honored. He just hoped he wouldn't screw up.

Glancing at another person coming up she recognized him and adjusted her clipboard to one arm. “Mr. Salvatore very nice to see you. Thank you so much for coming and helping out today. I’m Victoria Maroon. If you’d like some time to warm up all our chasers are not here yet.” She figured she didn’t have to really show him the pitch since they were on it.

The Keeper gave the woman a nod. Beck was so relieved that he had remembered the woman's name correctly. He had met a lot of people that day and he didn't want to be rude and not say her name now. "It's really an honor to even be thought of to come and help out with these tryouts today." Though he thought it was pretty rude not to greet her as Victoria. But then again there were other people here and it would be rude to forget or ignore saying hello to them. "It's a pleasure to see you again Ms. Maroon." Beck smiled some. "That meet and greet event was awesome. I suggest that you do that again but only if you lot see it fit." Beck wanted it to be known that he thought the meet and greet was awesome. It really was loads of fun. "Ah, yes. Thank you ma'am. I'll go do that right now." At first the idea seemed pretty boring but once he was there he was so happy to be able to talk to the fans though he didn't know that he had any fans really.

After his little chat with Victoria Maroon, Beck knew that it would be a wise choice to go out on the field and do some laps with his broom. These days Quidditch was his life along with his son but even now his son was getting older and not really needing as much attention as he used to need and right now Jacques was having some grandmother time that he really wanted. Him and his son had already had a really good summer with traveling to Italy and Japan already. Beck was thinking of squeezing in some other countries before his schedule got any busier. Right now eh had to focus on Quidditch and the tryouts. He had to put his personal life right behind him for the time being, if he didn't he would screw up and he was a professional Quidditch player that was expected not to screw up at all.

Beck kicked off the ground and smoothly into the air. These were the days that he felt so blessed to even be on a professional team. He wondered how many chasers were trying out today. Maybe one of the players would end up on the Tornados. That would be pretty awesome. Now that one lap around the pitch was done he figured that he would keep going until he was told that the rest of the chasers had arrived. There was nothing wrong with doing more laps than needed.
