[quote=Anonymous]What I wish someone told us, but never did.  Probably the best way for your DC to make the top travel team.  At my DC's club years ago, the kids on the top travel team were the kids whose parents knew enough to ask to get their kids playing up a year on travel the year before they were supposed to (mostly parents with older kids that figured it out the hard way for their younger children).  Those kids almost all played on the lowest travel team playing up.  However, when their normal first year travel came the next year, they were almost all the kids who made the top travel team and stayed on the top travel team.  This is the way to do it.  We were not informed of this, but were one of the lucky 2-3 that were given the opportunity to play up by the coach. 
 If he did not already know my DC, we would have been left behind.  The first year playing up on travel is what makes or breaks whether your DC gets the looks for the top travel team their first year.  And, as you have read many many times on here, there is very little movement between top and second team after the first year.  Push for your child to play up on travel before they are supposed to.  This is how they get the looks they need when they need it.  Good luck.[/quote]
