[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been asked and answered before. Keep your kid out of club for as long as possible. Tons of clinics and camps daily, weekly, weekend, summer, whatever. They don't need to be on a club to participate and it will be cheaper and your kid will get better coaching and more reps. Maybe in 8th grade, show up to a tryout and the club will gladly sit or cut the kid they've coached for the shiny new object. [/quote]

I do not think this is in any way a reliable plan.  Possible but rare for it to work this way.  Shiny new object isn’t going to be a thing but if the kid happens to be more skilled somehow coming out of years of rec and more athletic, okay.

Tons of clinics and camps daily, weekly, weekend, summer is not going to be cheaper—in fact it’s likely to be more expensive—or necessarily more reps.[/quote]

Nice try Cabell. It's absolutely cheaper deducting out the cost of hotels, gas, meals. You also definitely get more reps rather than the club team watching the same 3 kids play attack and pole and everyone else being slotted into middie. The reason you created DMV/NL Red teams was specifically to push kids down or to build revenue. Stay away from club until 8th grade. All of the camps and clinics will have great game play and if your kid is any good, they can go to a higher level. There are always more than a few plain white helmets at any BIC "showcase."

I honestly think it would be better if the club teams kept these younger teams practicing but not going to multiple tournaments.  they should strictly focus on developing the skills of all the girls and maybe end the season with one tournament until their coach thinks they are ready.  Its rough to see some of these kids go out there and not know what to do.[/quote]
