[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are only doing private training for DD's three sports so we can set it up as a schedule that works for us. She guest plays in tournaments where possible for soccer, basketball and field hockey but we won't have her join any of the teams until late middle/early high school when it's time to get recruited in the two that she likes best that also don't overlap seasons in college.[/quote]

This is sick [/quote]

How is this beneficial to her in team sports? Where is she developing team camaraderie and sportsmanship? How will she ever excel in team sports if she has only had this perfect, concierge version of sports instead of working with a variety of coaches and teammates? [/quote]

She usually guest plays with the same teams/clubs, but guest-playing in general means coming into contact with different coaches and players because she's not always with the same group. She is also starting to do several camps in the summer to be known by the college coaching staffs.[/quote]

What basketball teams allow guest players for tournaments? How on earth does she know the plays? [/quote]

Well for the ones she has played with multiple times we know further in advance if she will be playing and so we will try to attend a practice and of course she learns them during the course of playing.[/quote]

A practice? My middle school DD's team has a man defense, a man press, two zone presses, and two zone defenses. They have a base motion offense but another two they run against different zones. That's in addition to inbounds plays. If your daughter picks that up after a practice, she must have an amazing basketball IQ[/quote]
