    Playing on a top level team not local to you ??

    Great insight and Info here. We are not ready for a National level team now, so no that is not what we are looking for. It is impossible for me to know if my daughter will play at that level right now or if she wants to for that matter. What I do know is she is very talented and athletic and...

    Playing on a top level team not local to you ??

    Well.... I dont even know. I just have in mind, a team that is consistently playing high level competition and can go to some of these big national tournaments and compete. A respectable team that is not focusing on dominating the local travel schedule scene

    Distance you travel to your travel team.

    She isn't outgrowing the team for now. I could see it possubly happening in the future though. On the other hand I wonder if we should seek a true 8U, 2010 team so she is with her age group at this young age.

    Distance you travel to your travel team.

    I guess since I asked I can answer as well. My DD is 8 on a 10U team because it is close and was originally going to be 1 tournament a month. That has turned into 2 or close to it anyway. They are a B team but The more I read here the more I am pretty sure we are a C team. This is their...

    Distance you travel to your travel team.

    What distances are folks traveling to their TB team practices. I know in some parts of the country TB is huge and you don't have to go to far. Here in eastern NC it seem you could travel a long way (1-2 hrs)for certain age groups or better teams to fit your daughters skill or development. My...
