[quote=Anonymous]I cannot answer the question about quitting because different families deal with it differently. Your DD should know that the club made an offer because they could not find a better player. She may not be as good as the other players on the team, but she is good enough for the level of the club. Things may change next year if a better player shows up at the tryouts. She can evolve in different ways during one season: she could learn a lot, a little, or anything in between. All that matters is how much she is willing to work and how many resources you are willing to throw at her.

I would say that a weekly practice is not enough for someone who just started (and she is aware that she started late): she won't improve much unless she is extremely athletic and talented. Talent takes you only that far: the girls in more competitive teams have 2 or 3 practices every week and also practice by themselves. They also have the advantage of starting earlier. As in pretty much any activity, the more you practice the better you become. She needs a skill program (and I am afraid that you need to supplement that one practice per week), a strength program (plyometrics, weights), and a nutrition program (eat healthy, avoid junk food). I agree that it's easier said than done. [/quote]
