[quote=Anonymous][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]

If these girls are standouts then they probably have been on Pride or Stars for years and Capital already knows who they are. You are correct standouts do not need to attend those clinics. The clinics might help some, but even before tryouts Capital probably already has a good idea of about 85+% of the blue roster. [/quote]
