[quote=Anonymous]Go in with the right expectations. Selection is based more on who you know than taking the best talent. Very political. If your DD does not play for the club overseeing the local tryouts go in with the expectation the odds are not with her. It’s not a coincidence the AS Virginia teams have not performed well the past several years. The best talent is not bothering to tryout. Last year they had so little interest at one grade level they had to cancel the team. These events are more of a money grab. In my daughters class many of the best players avoided this event and many are now committed to top D1 programs. It’s not needed for recruiting. I don’t know if this is true, but it has been noted before the AS pays a kickback to the club running the local tryout for each player that attends tryouts. This club apparently has told its own club members they are expected to tryout, which amounts to another unexpected fee on top of club dues that the club owner gets paid on. Just go in with the right expectations for your DD. Depending on the club she plays for the odds may be against her. Selection is not necessarily based on the best talent. If you want to do it for fun and you don’t mind spending the money then great. If your doing it for recruiting it’s not needed.[/quote]
