Where to find new players

[Truheel]

We are in our first spring season. Most of our team will play 12u agian next year. My DD and 3 others will have to move up. Any help on where or how to recruit more 12u girls that have to move up. There are plenty of well established organizations around here. So these teams get most of the girls changeing teams or they move up with in. Any help would be great.

IMO, the best way to find new players is to develop a reputation as a very competitive team in an extremely short period of time with your existing team. If you can play even the toughest competition and the other teams have to truly scrap for every run against you, then you will see dividends paid back in your turnouts for tryouts. I'm assuming that this is TB so another option is to recruit off of the local rec All-Stars teams and "coach them up" to achieve the same goal as stated above.

Is this a TB team or rec?

TB yocoach our 12u team is made up of 3 good,1 decent, and 6 ok/not good rec players. I dont see anyway to turn these girls into a competative team in the short term.

One option is to move the entire team up to 14U next year, take your lumps, and then the following year try to do some damage if you can keep all the girls together and coach them up well.
