Look for make up tryouts at lower ranked clubs today, tomorrow and Monday if she still wants to play. Sometimes they are posted on social media. Post on the thread tryouts in real time. If you post your location others can help you find them too. Many have found a team this way in prior years. It’s really hard and tryouts can be eye opening to the competition out there.

Beware Virginia Elite, which has a toxic culture & despite a strong Academy does not develop the individual players but prioritizes optics over teamwork & does not enforce rules equitably

DD has a friend who has received offers for 14 both from Mojo Black (national travel) and Virginia Elite.
