[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure she has a realistic chance of making it. Has she had any exposure to Capital already? Gone to the pre tryout clinics? If you answer no to both, your DD has a slim to none chance. Coming from DDs that have been through this and got guided by the process. [/quote]

I don't think this is true.  The reason is that I know 5 Capital players from my neighorhood and none of them went to any pre tryout clinics or classes.  I know their parents well.  They all made it and it made sense because they were by far the best players I had ever seen.  The kind that just dominated rec. leagues and box leagues.  I did know one that did a season of indoor clinics stuff with Gussie, and she was pretty good, but not as good as the others.  I think the lessons helped because she did get a lot better, especially after she focused on defense.  But when she tried out for Capital, she didn't make it, but they did put her on a priority waitlist.

My sense is the clinics only matter in a few instances:  if your kid is on the bubble (so a few kids).  Truly stand out talent will make it whether they go to clinics or not.  I also wonder if clinics could be detrimental - my guess is they eliminate girls who don’t play well at them.  [/quote]
