[quote=Anonymous]Yes to 9:25.  If you play in the fall, you're guaranteed a spot on the team in the spring, but playing one year doesn't guarantee a spot for next year.

Also, if your kid is trying out for an ADP year with existing teams in place, they don't re-balance the teams between years other than to fill in roster gaps as players leave.  Our team came back the second year mostly intact, as did several others.  (A couple of the best teams lost multiple girls to Travel.)

00:48 - good write-up.   I definitely second the idea that kids need to NOT get stuck playing too much defense - it's hard to get noticed when you're playing defense.  (in the early years - once teams start looking for kids to fill specific positions, it's different.)  I think my daughter didn't make travel for a second year because she has a tendency to play defense when nobody else does.

Last - it's an advantage when your ADP roster/field size/ positions is a year ahead of your rec team for that stuff.  My daughter was a better rec player after her first year outside of rec in part because she'd had to learn to play a position a year before the other girls on her team.  She was able to help her coach demonstrate how to play different positions, and she understand better how 7x7 was different from 5x5 or whatever.[/quote]
