Spoken like most clubs to justify the costs. Clubs primary purpose is to get the girls in front of the best college coaches possible. Actual hands on coaching is practically non-existent despite what a club official says. How many parents can say their club has worked one on one with their daughter for more than 2 hours over the last 3 years(be happy if it has happened)? They are kept in groups and run drills and scrimmages. The real progress comes working alone trying to improve specific skills. Clubs are needed. They assemble great players, they don't create them.
The top name clubs acquire the better players from the lesser name clubs! By 8th grade , they have all the better players, due to their name recognition for recruiting purposes. They did not “create” these top players. Most of the top players probably went out and trained a lot on the outside. Then they migrate to the “name” to get seen in recruiting year. Probably migrate around 6th grade, if not already on a top club.
