[quote=Anonymous]OP, go watch a couple practices in mid spring, see what the coaching, tempo and skills look like for the top, mid and lower teams. See the differences for yourself. I know it sounds like a PITA, but unless you have some experience in the system its hard to understand. Remember they've had 5 months of travel training/experience. If you think the top teams are pretty good and your DD might be slightly overwhelmed thats normal, but if you think your DD might be a standout at the mid and lower teams, that might give you some more insight of the environment, players, coaches, training, etc.

Go to tryouts, there is nothing to lose. In fact, go to a handful of tryouts, and watch the kids. just remember there is like 2 days to accept a position and on the higher teams they want to lock it down early so make sure you if you feel ready to make a good choice if selected.

if it doesnt pan out, no biggie. rec is lots of fun still and gice the outside training a go to improve skills. good luck!

sadly the coaching at every level is hit or miss because of coach comfort, favoritism and general attitude. you might dislike the A coach that everyone else thought was awesome. I’ve come across a few that I was just like meh. certs and licenses are only a part of the coach. I’ve seen B coaches that were awesome but lacked the senority or licensing but got the girls excited to train. He became an A coach the next year.

It’s all fit between the coach, player and you. [/quote]
