[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Follow up question - is it appropriate to ask about playing time? Is it even worth it or will they tell the truth? Last year DD was new to club, tried out for only two teams and got one spot.  She accepted it.  This year she is trying out for several clubs and wants to go where she can make sure she has playing time at her position.  She realized there are no guarantees but is it appropriate to ask? She’s been going to clinics and they are all for specific positions.  [/quote]
You can ask, but you will likely get an answer along the line: "the court time is earned." If they have someone better on your DD's position, your DD will have less court time. Things may also change throughout the season, depending on how the players competing for a position evolve. If your DD becomes better during the season, she may get more court time. If court time is important to your DD, don't aim for the best club out there because your DD will likely have to compete harder for court time. Even if you aim for a mid or low tier club, you don't really know who else they have on that specific position. [/quote]

You will get that answer from all of the top teams in the region across all of those clubs. But there is a huge difference in the way its implemented.  PP said to ask for the data from last year and its a good idea.  Every club has a different definition of "earned".  Some clubs at that competitive level take 14-15 players and play 8, some take 10-12 and play 7 and some take 10-12 and play 10-12. [/quote]
