I'll bump this; how's everyone's season starting? Also, how is each team/league dealing with HS schedule?

Thanks in advance
The answer is it depends on what you or your dc is looking for.
For my dd, 90% of the team was playing Super Y, so it was basically and extended Spring season, getting them ready for Fall. You typically get 2 practices a week and 7-8 games, so again if that sounds good to you, then it makes sense.

to the pp; if your DD was trying out for months, you should know whether or not she would have a chance at making an upper tier team v. the lowest team that club had offered.
Practicing with other clubs is great in theory; just be prepared, as for the upper level players, it's a small world and don't think for a second that it will not get back to your home club, so be prepared to have that conversation; if you choose to not have it prior to practicing.
Club shopping/hopping happens all the time, but not always greener pastures. If you're not happy with DC playing time, position, club style, culture, etc then you need to do what's best for your kid.

PP here. How? Would the coach have said something to her/me, so that allowing her to continue to practice should not have been read as a sign that she has a shot? She was practicing wih the middle team (3 teams total in the age group). Note that another club that she had been practicing with said specifically that she would make X team at their club, which was very helpful feedback.
Did you watch any of the sessions? Did your DD provide you with any feedback? After 1-2 sessions coach would have good idea where to place your dd. If after a week of sessions and no feedback from coach, then you should meet with them prior to or after session and you would probably get all the info you needed.
Which is exactly what I told the OP - have the conversation and force them to give you an indication. This is what I did not do, assuming that no news (and inviting her back) was good news. But your post suggested that "one can just tell" which is not what you ultimately came around to. [/qu
Honestly if you were attending sessions for a couple of months then the only question needed to be asked would be "hey coach, looking for a home for dd next season, when are you making a decision, can we expect an offer?" If you dont get the answer you want, then it's time to look at other clubs.
