[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less than a month less. DD is getting nervous!![/quote]

Don’t be nervous and remember, this is supposed to be fun!

Important lessons DD learned from last year’s brutal tryouts -

If any club gives you invite clinics- prioritize that club.

If any club consistently puts you on the lowest court - don’t bother going to tryouts.

[b]If you don’t like the coach for whatever reason at the clinics, don’t go to tryouts.[/b] It doesn’t matter the team, even if they are a great one.  You don’t want to be on a team where you don’t like the coach.  This seems obvious but easy to forget as we get desperate.  [/quote]

Except that the coach leading the clinics will likely not be your coach during the season. You can go to clinics and like Coach Paul from MOCO or Coach Juan from Platform. What is the chance that you would end up on their teams? They coach one or - at most - two teams out of the entire club (and both clubs have three teams per age group). The same is valid in case you don't like the coach. There might be some wonderful club coach who would be coaching your future team, but you don't know if you judge based on the coach leading the clinic. [/quote]

That’s interesting!  We are in VA and DD has gone to the clinics to meet the coaches and see their styles, as well as to be seen. She’s always tried out for smaller teams that have at most two teams per age group though.  [/quote]
