Answer
James, hello!

Your age is not a negative.  Your lack of experience will drop you down on the list if you're competing for the position against the guy that has played 4 years longer.  However, if you're a great player then you will make the team and be allowed to demonstrate your ability.  

Have a Merry Christmas!
