I appreciate all the advice. Fortunately her other sports are primarily seasonal and do not overlap too much. Are the U12 Academy teams gender specific or are they mixed. She played on a mixed team last spring in Spartanburg where they all practiced together during the week and picked teams on Saturday to play. She did not like that at all. Neither did i. The skills training was good and she learned alot. Does the CESA academy teach team skills at that age or do they wait till they get into Classic?
