The time to move is after 7th grade. The longer you wait, the tougher it is.

Obviously depends on the talent but if I were moving my kid, I’d send an email with game tape to the coach before tryouts and ask for practice

After 8th grade more girls will be looking for HS homes. Some clubs, like BLC, crush and CClax end at 8th grade so all of those girls will be looking for a place to land, in addition to girls who are making a move for other reasons.

Just feel like I missed the boat on a good MD team. Not saying my kid would make it just feel like I would’ve liked to see how she matched up in tryouts. Grass is always greener, tho.

Pretty tough. After 7th is the way to go.

CCLax doesn’t end at 8th grade and Crush will try not to

Why? I know at least one of the too MD clubs does not do open tryouts after 7th grade.

Gets harder each year after 6th grade. The top clubs had 90-100 girls at tryouts and they are only looking to fill 2-5 spots depending on the team.

You have to have elite speed, size or combination to stand out

More on "speed and size". Let me offer a counterpoint. I know of multiple offers from top 5 MD teams to 2028s this year that certainly weren't based on size, and much more on elite skill, than speed. You also need to factor in head to head experience, camps or clinics, guest practices, etc. Agree a player can't just show up and make a team out of nowhere without some eye catching components to her game; I just think the speed and size talk is a bit overdone when there are multiple paths to get noticed, and definitely when discussing 13-year olds at the beginning, or in the middle, of growth spurts.

Agree size is not as big of a factor for the younger players, but if the NCAA changes the rules to playing 10v10 the combination of size and speed will most likely become a big factor.

I am aware of offers from top MD teams that were more about filling a gap than elite anything.

Just curious, but how are you specifically aware of the reasons underlying multiple offers to top MD clubs. You don’t sound like a coach or are you just full of crap?
