Top private school team drill together but the end of practice is comprised of 16-18 girls doing 7v 7’s or full scrimmages and the non-starters and girls who don’t play do not participate
Lots of girls at privates just standing around watching and “learning” from girls who Actually play
If you’re ok with that being the possibility for your kid then you’ll be fine
And your kid is going to get valuable time on JV? Please, you're foolish to think JV practice and 15 games is going to be better for development.
That's why club is more important than high school.[/quote]
Club is definitely more important than HS for development. All that being said, I have seen many girls struggle in early June in club because of lack of game action and practice reps while sitting the bench.
I'd advise any girls who aren't getting practice reps on their team to make sure to take private lessons in season to keep their stick skills up.
