[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve read through the tips here. My DD is 12 so we are looking at U13 teams. She’s done two years of rec and currently doing a beginner clinic at one of the more intense and competitive clubs in our area. Based on feedback from the coaches, she is not trying out for the club (they are complimentary but her skills aren’t enough for their U13 teams). We are prioritizing other clubs that are more geared for kids making the jump from rec. Based on advice from this thread, I registered her for some pre-tryout practices at those clubs and she attended camp at one this summer and they asked her to try out at that time.

What advice do you have for a kid brand new to club but loves the sport? I’m a little freaked out after reading this thread.[/quote]

It sounds to me like you're already doing all the best steps you can. You started her at 10 yrs old; you've already played Rec to make sure she likes it and wants to do it; you did a clinic at an intense club and followed the feedback so she did a summer clinic and will try out at that place; plus you're doing tryout clinics.

To me that sounds like ALL the best steps you can take for now.  See what happens, what club she gets into and how she does on U13. And if money and time are not obstacles, consider finding a private coach for fall or fall and spring (spring while she's playing club) although for me that would be overkill.  But if you've got the time & the money, a private coach can be great too.[/quote]
