I'm mixed on it Billy....They are school based programs and trying to get the girls involved early. We had 15 show up for "evals"...I was not part of that process since I was a potential coach for the team....the eval process is about as unbiased as it gets for this level...
One girl did get cut but we also have a standard rec league for her to play in. The reason she was cut was said that it appeared she never picked up a basketball until the night of evals. She's playing rec though and encouraged to come out again next year. Her parents understood....
The travel program allows those that are a step above to play with other players who are a step above against other area school districts. I have a few girls who I would classify as "A" players for this age and really need to be playing with better players because they would run circles around some of the rec league kids.
