That all sounds good.  She'd love to tryout practicing with your team.  We totally understand that you need to see if she fits with the team.  

We'd take your advice on playing.  We thought Maisy would be busy with AAU basketball but we decided to take time off from her team this year so her schedule is more open than it has been previously.  

Let us know when she can join the girls at practice.  I'll remind her to work on her stick skills.

Thanks for your thoughtful email.  

Best,

Kathleen

My team held tryouts last fall, is currently playing indoor lacrosse at Greenbelt and will play a spring season together followed by at least one tournament. After that, the club lacrosse commitment takes over and the girls will play there and high school lacrosse.

I am assuming she will fit in well after playing with Sidwell and hearing she has attended some camps. But to be fair, we will need to have her tryout, and cannot guaranty a spot. My only suggestion would be to make sure her stick skills are strong when she comes to practice (left and right hands). I have some wall ball / rebounder drills if she is interested.

I know Bethesda registration is open, and I assume Potomac Power (formerly Rockville Lax) and MC Lacrosse are also open to fill teams. She will be more advanced that these programs and deserves strong coaching. But these programs form new teams each season.
