What can my daughter expect in terms of playing time?
We do not offer any guarantee on playing time to any athlete. Our purpose is to compete and be successful at the highest levels locally and nationally. While our coaches will do their best to get all team members on the court to get valuable competitive experience, our coaches’ priority at tournaments is making decisions that are in the best interest of the team as a whole and its success. Playing time is determined by many factors, including overall skill level, attitude, attendance, respect for coaches and teammates, hustle, and match dynamics. Many coaches will also utilize practice and match statistics to help make playing time decisions. All athletes will have equal opportunity to play, compete, learn, and improve during all practice sessions, assuming their attendance at practices is consistent.
How many players are on a team?
Rosters will vary from 10-13 players
What happens if my daughter doesn’t make a team?
If your daughter doesn’t make a team, we strongly suggest her to stay involved on the other programs we offer throughout the year so she can be better prepared to tryout again the following year and make a team. We will offer several different programs and leagues to help her get better and more prepared.
Will the club allow an athlete to “play up” an age group?
Yes. This will be decided based on skills level and or team needs. The family and player will have the final decision. We will make the suggestion we think it would be in the best interest of the players.
