[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are only doing private training for DD's three sports so we can set it up as a schedule that works for us. She guest plays in tournaments where possible for soccer, basketball and field hockey but we won't have her join any of the teams until late middle/early high school when it's time to get recruited in the two that she likes best that also don't overlap seasons in college.[/quote]

Serious question, how will she be good enough (at least to be recruited in college) in any of those sports if she's not playing regularly?  By late middle school, she is competing for spots against kids who have specialized in those sports. I don't doubt she's an amazing athlete but this area is pretty competitive at lease for two of those sports.  The private training route I do think is practical.  I have a friend whose sons play travel baseball but also attend practices for soccer and lacrosse (but don't play matches) because she says she wants to make sure they have the option of trying out for those teams in middle and high school and make the team.  So kind of like you but only thinking about college recruiting for her boys primary sport.  [/quote]

I'm not PP, but for basketball at least, if the girls is 5'10 or taller and a skilled player then she can play for a EYBL or 3SB team and get recruited. If she's shorter and has never played on a team at a high level, she's going to have more trouble [/quote]
