[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ES is capable of winning any tournament and there’s maybe 5-6 teams who can realistically say that. [/quote]

All that is important is your team has the opportunity to play in the top brackets at tournaments. Be competitive in these games and your team will continue to play the best teams. These are the games college coaches want to watch. Winning and losing doesn’t mean anything to these coaches. Go out there and perform against the best and you will get noticed. The end goal for most playing at this level is to earn an offer from a school they want to attend, not win a tournament t-shirt.[/quote]

I would say that middle school teams should complete to win, no college coaches on the sidelines until their sophomore fall anyway. Girls should learn to push hard to achieve success, wins, t-shirts and backpacks. It's good for the club, builds a team's reputation going into their HS recruitment window, it can even create a buzz to have more sideline opportunities. When they get to the high school tournaments, there is less room for that pressure, playing is more fundamental, games become tighter, pressure becomes a factor since the sidelines are far more contained and quieter. Seeing lots of college coaches, notebooks and multiple coming and going as they do, can cause some girls to tighten up, play outside their norm if you will. (Some, not all)  Middle school club is a great time to push for those wins, be more creative, try to shape your game, and collect those shirts/backpacks when it doesn't matter nearly as much.

What if you play on a team in the top bracket and don't get a lot of playing time because the coaches are only focused on a few girls(or daughters) to win? How does that help the girls achieve success? There has been a good amount of mommy and daddy ball in the DMV....[/quote]
