Not OP, but BRYC is also our most convenient club and your use of the word "easily" here blows my mind.

Appreciate OP asking these questions, but apparently I don't love my kids enough.

Our child respects her ecnl coach and teammates. Commute is why we are there and as long as my kid is developing and learning in a positive environment (which it is) then I don’t care about the losses. Her team could use some additional talent and I at time wish kids who are the bench at other clubs would give us a try. The choice to stay has been my child’s decision.

Blows you mind? Lol, I apologize for blowing your mind. Didn't think it was mind-blowing but here I am, blowing minds.

I know others choose differently, and more power to them. But no way am I driving 40+ minutes each way, multiple times a week, for kids' sports.

Especially if you have more than one child that plays travel.

How is club fixing with U9s?

Good luck with that!

I think they aren’t allowing any more bridge teams. The older teams have at least 2-3 bridge teams.

Do they have more U9 Elite players than previous years? How many?

BRYC doesn't have an Elite U11 girls team (or they didn't expect to as of June). They lost too many players and have the remaining Elite girls playing up in 2010. There are three bridge teams in that age group that play in NCSL and may have room on their rosters, but you'll have to contact each individual team coach.

Quoting myself, and to answer your more specific questions, I would look for a team where your DD is middle of the pack. If she is the best player, she isn't going to improve by training with players less skilled than her. And if she is one of the weaker players, she won't get as much playing time. Unfortunately, right now, BRYC 2011 girls is not a strong age group overall.

They have 3 teams I think so that's 30+ kids in the U9G (2013) pool. There also are a couple U8G teams--so those kids are getting a full year jump on the training.

What are you basing that on?
