[quote=Anonymous]My experience with similar programs is that the kids they want get invited and there are constant side conversations at tournaments or via someone who knows someone. My friends got in because their friends were participating and knew them from another sport and told the coaches and the coaches gave the kid a chance. Being a sibling factors into this, too. My DD is an only child and has seen this enough that she's said that she wishes she was a younger sister so she could just glide into any program she wanted to without all the evaluations and drama. Our family has experienced this in gymnastics, too, so I can't even blame it on tennis culture. I think it's common for any sport with a possible elite track that has limited availability. Coaches aren't willing and/or don't have to take chances on randos. [/quote]
