To update on DD, she did join the club and seems to be enjoying it. She has been asking to join the team, but I want to put that off for at least a year to see if she really continues to be interested.
Ultramarina,
How old is your DD, and how much interest does she have in the game? The reason I ask is that I think the best time to start competitive play is around 7-9 years old. Many children try the game when older but quickly lose interest because they lose to other kids who might not have that much innate talent, but have enough experience to beat even promising novice players.
