No time to spare and have to maximize the chance she'll be seen by the right coaches at the right time. Will suck leaving a good team, but will be best for us in the long run.

Good luck on college soccer in the next several years as money will be dried up and programs will be cut.

Whats the point of doing so when established reputable options exist elsewhere

You believe changing clubs junior year is smart?

Rising junior? 2022 03s and 2022 04s will join for the 2021-2022 season. Yes, I think switching makes sense for two solid years of development before college.

Junior and senior years are not about development as much as they are about exposure and college communication. How will a new club coach be able to speak on a new players behalf this coming fall, much less summer under such an uncertain return to training much less games.

College coaches can start talking to rising juniors this June but will still rely heavily on the club coach for information and more now so than ever. So you think it would be a good idea to change coaches for a a unknown in the name of a league patch?

What could a new club coach possibly be able to do as a player representative over the coming months through the fall. Even under the best of conditions a change of clubs at this stage in college recruiting is a bad idea and now with no guarantee of even a fall season it could be a catastrophically derailing bad idea on top of chaos.

But good luck with your plan.

The only path way is ECNL.

If your recruiting path relies on a club coach being able to speak on your player's behalf, you're mistaken about how this all works. Even if you leave a coach, why wouldn't they still be able to talk with a college coach on your behalf? Any reputable coach, present or former, will go to bat for good players. You sound more like a panicked coach wanting to keep players, and a job (and perhaps a club), more than an advisor looking out for the kids first.
