[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got it. So basically after doing club they come back to rec and get in the higher division for exposure then tryout for MVSA after already playing club elsewhere with hopes of making it.

Good for them! Seems we are late to the sport. All good though. I looked up MEVC and that seems to be a good option. I really appreciate your help![/quote]

MVSA invites everyone in their rec league try out for the club - this is how they attract around 100 players to compete for the 30 spots they have for each age group. You have little chance to make one of their teams without club experience. The one exception that gives you an advantage is being tall. They seem to offer positions to tall players, even those with obvious talent / experience deficit. You look at them and you wonder: how did MVSA take players with two left hands? They likely take a long-term approach and believe they can develop those players over the years. Being short works against you - you have to overcompensate by having a lot more experience and being extremely athletic.

You are not late to the sport - we were in your shoes last year. If your daughter likes the sport, keep going and you will find options for her to continue. Last year I had the same approach as the one you outlined: my daughter deserves to be in one of the best clubs in the area. The difference is: you asked for advice and I didn't. I feel like the outcome will be different: we struggled and stressed as a result, you have more realistic expectations and a better approach. My daughter still got on one of the best teams (not the best team in the area, but the best team for where she was at the time). [/quote]
