[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's like 90 kids trying out for NL u16 indoor teams.  Ugh, DD likely won't be making the cut.[/quote]

So many other clubs that are better. Don’t despair though - more than likely Next Level will field 8 teams with 12 on each U16 roster. Next Level is a business and they will gladly take your checks![/quote]

Name some better clubs in the DMV. There wouldn’t be 90 kids coming to the NL tryout if there were better options. [/quote]

90 girls showing up at tryouts for every club across the DMV is correct. Seen it with my own eyes at several clubs. The sport has grown exponentially and there’s no slowing down anytime soon. Indoor is expensive and requires a lot of traveling and commitment. Girls have burned out in one season. They are soon replaced. [/quote]

NP and sort of newer to sport. How is indoor different than outdoor in the spring? (You say girls burn out in one indoor season)[/quote]

NP. Indoor is a faster game played on a smaller, hard surface court with boards on the sideline to keep the ball in. You can use the boards to move the ball. The rules are different, the goal is a bit smaller. You play with five players and a goalie. You need different shoes and a different stick. You also need at a minimum a left handed glove, but I recommend both. While there are some similarities, there are differences in how you play the game and the skills.

There are a limited number of buildings with a hard court for playing indoor in this area. Freedom runs a winter tournament series, Meadowbrook holds tournaments and there might be 1-2 other local things at randoms facilities. So you can stay local and only go to these things, but there are also opportunities to travel. This is something to talk with the clubs you are considering about.

Spooky Nook hosts the national indoor tournament each year for u16 and below. U19 play in Richmond. [/quote]
