[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great thread - provides good perspective. Can someone comment on how much of this is relevant for girls travel basketball. Are there any clubs/teams you recommend that focus on the developing the whole team? Are the top teams like Fairfax Stars, Elevate Elite just picking best players each season and cutting the rest or do they focus on player and team improvement?[/quote]

The top Fairfax Stars/Elevate teams will always pick the best girls. At the higher levels, the EYBL teams (Stars, Takeover) recruit the best of the best, even kids from far away who commute into the DMV for the team. At all levels, these types of teams focus on player development, but with an eye towards tournament play.

Stars usually has two teams per age group. Elevate has multiple teams per age group. There are always one or two girls on the second team good enough to play on the top team, but rarely more than that. The lower teams still get great coaching and development at these programs, even though they are not not he top teams. All of the girls on the second team, for example, will play varsity high school even if they aren’t on the top AAU team in their club. [/quote]
