[quote=Anonymous]Kudos to you OP for supporting your DD in trying a new freshman sport!

This can be an amazing friendship opportunity if your HS has freshman teams.  If no freshman team but JV has a lot of freshmen players also great. Hopefully, there is a team at your school that is:
- not super serious
-more fun-oriented
-likely to have other freshman girls in the same boat (little to no experience, primary reason for joining the team is social)

many freshman teams are like this even at super sporty schools-- I'm basing this on older DD at SJC.

If you want to help DD choose wisely between sports -- I would have her&gt;
1. Seriously consider Field Hockey and Crew, plus any other no cut sports.
maybe volleyball if you are in an area that it's not super popular (this really depends on the school)

2. Go to any camps or open gyms for the sport this summer (especially field hockey or volleyball) !  The camp itself can be a great friendship opportunity and trial run for the sport

3.  If the school doesn't have a camp, consider a camp near your school.
