[quote=Anonymous]Tips for girls' sports, club vs. high school:

1.  Soccer is the most club-based at this stage.  Very big time commitment and the kids have multiple weekday practices that they will go to after playing for their HS team.  Most still play for the HS team but some club coaches push back on that.  I won't summarize all the options because there's a high degree of familiarity with soccer.  Lots of spring commitments and can be difficult to play a different spring sport depending on the club soccer practice schedule.

2.  Field hockey still mainly a high school sport for most players -- but with a growing club presence.  The field hockey club season does not conflict with the HS season -- there is a big Thanksgiving national tournament and Disney runs a club tournament in Jan/Feb. that is a big focus for college recruiting.

3.  Volleyball -- still fairly high-school based but a growing club presence.  Not a direct conflict with HS sports at present.

4.  Basketball -- like the boys; AAU does not conflict with the HS season but picks up in the spring and summer.

5.  Softball -- similar to boys' baseball (summer focus), but some of the stronger teams in this area have a lot of fall practices that can interfere with fall sports if the student wants to play multiple sports.

6.  Lacrosse -- similar to boys' lacrosse, with a summer focus (girls' lacrosse recruiting is more about club tournaments so far than invitational summer camps yet, but that could evolve to be more like the boys with invitational all-star type camps).  No conflict with the HS season yet.[/quote]
