Strategy Explained

I appreciate all the comments! I am in full agreement about Club A. We tried out with them for several reasons:

1. Tryouts were on Thursday so it was a great way to have Kate experience a tryout BEFORE the madness and step up in competition that comes with the weekend.

2. If Kate had NOT been offered a spot, I would have been more concerned this weekend. As it turned out, she goes into the remaining tryouts full of confidence. Being one of 8 out of 45 chosen is still a great accomplishment.

Even if we do not make another team we know we'll be playing organized club volleyball this season. She has only played one season of Jr. High ball and will be playing JH Varsity concurrently with Club, so Club A would be a low pressure way to build up skills and stay busy until high school team. By tryouts NEXT near, she will have 9 solid months of playing and training behind her. Remember, this is a girl who told me 10 minutes into the Moxie tryout that she now wants to be an outside hitter...a position she had never played! More power to her! See you all this weekend!
