The practices 3 days a week are extremely rigorous, effective & informative. I have witnessed girls crying puking, swearing never to return. However, the team seems to get better as daughter does but daughter is still behind.
3 years of TB and I've never experienced a practice with crying and puking - this alone should maybe make you reconsider this team. There are varying opinions on when (or if) to move your kid to the next level, what that next level should provide for playing time, and when to step back and re-adjust goals. When my DD moved from travel to rec - she played on a team with older girls and didn't play alot. Her next team was "B" level and she played every game in some capacity, but it wasn't very competitive and she seemed to put in a lot more work than her teammates. Now she's on a more competitive team and she's back to not playing as much. I don't think there's a "right" answer. Like many have said, it really depends on your DD. Someone suggested that I monitor practices and not so much game time so I'm doing that and keeping her confidence up. I hope she steps up to this competitive level, but it may ultimately not be her thing. I think you have to be willing to give new levels a try and then adjust the goals as needed.
