One thing to note, if you want to start a team just to start a team, that’s one thing, but if you want to be at the top, that’s going to take a very heavy commitment. Perhaps 20 hours a week and on tournament days, perhaps 30 hours a week.

I throw out this warning because my niece was the captain on her team, which was a very good team and always near the top of most tournaments. However that’s all she did for ECs because there was no time to do anything else. I’m not sure how AOs feel about that. She had a great GPA and a good SAT but she wound up going to one of her lower-on-the-list match schools.
