[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your daughter will be 12U or younger, she'll need to pass a Classic skills evaluation, which is usually held in early May.  If she passes, you'll then need to reach out to teams that are in need of players and request a tryout.  Some teams will have parent coaches and others will have paid coaches.  The quality of instruction and the players will widely vary.  If your daughter will be 13U or higher, no skills evaluation is required and you'll go directing to contacting teams to request a tryout.  The list of teams seeking players will be posted later this season.[/quote]

Thank you!  She is 9.  I assume that if she passes the evaluation she would be trying out for placement on a team for the Fall 2017 season?  She's playing on an MSI Rec team this spring.[/quote]

The evaluations this spring will be for Fall 2017, yes. As to tryouts, MSI will post team tryout notices on their web site for Classic teams that ask them to do this, but a lot of teams may form around school or neighborhood groups or the like and not hold open tryouts. There may also be a huge range of types of coaches and seriousness about practice among Classic teams--from volunteer parents to full-time coaches--so do your diligence and think about what might be the best fit for your child. If you're looking for something on the slightly more rigorous side, there are some organizations that field teams for Classic--for example I know that Brit-Am has girls Classic teams and posts tryout notices on their web site. On the girls' side, PPA may field Classic teams as well. Good luck.[/quote]
