Also, dont just walk into Metro or Paramount's tryouts and hope to get a spot.  If they want her, they will reach out.  If they don't, it's highly unlikely she will not get a spot or will be a bench warmer- up to you if that's the route you want to go.

IF D1 is the goal AND your dd is actually D1 talent, she'll get looks/recruited.  You have to be realistic about your DD's talent and work ethic.  Being on Metro or Paramount won't automatically result in a D1 offer, and the inverse is true as well, being on another club doesn't mean DD won't get a D1 offer.

While I agree that if you think your DD is good (or tall) enough for Metro Travel or Paramount, that you can’t just show up to tryouts and expect a spot, I think you also need to create situations for the club director and coaches to see your DD play. The easiest way to get that exposure is by going to the fall clinics that are identified as being for players interested in playing for a particular team. For Metro in particular, they usually hold their clinics for potential travel players at Ritchie Park Elementary School in Rockville in September and October. Metro and many other clubs will identify players they are interested in and invite them to an invite-only clinic that happens in the week or two before tryouts. If your DD doesn’t get invited, they probably will not be getting an offer at tryouts and you should make sure to tryout elsewhere.

While I know both Metro and Paramount are careful about not making formal offers prior to the open tryout period, the coaches are willing to have conversations after clinics and will generally provide feedback on the likelihood of an offer. [/quote]
