 We are not in the DC area anymore, and there’s one large club in our city and a couple of smaller options as well. We left the big club last year after it became obvious that they were never going to look at my sermon objectively, and he would’ve been with the same coach for the third year in a row. There were plenty of players who like that coach but it just wasn’t a good fit for my son, he was never able to effectively communicate what he wanted out of him. Our son started practicing with a team from another club with a different coaching style and it clicked immediately—he said he learned more in on practice than he had the previous season.  His old coach didn’t even realize that my son (who has a September birthday) was going to be starting high school last fall!

We are currently debating whether he should try out for the ENCL team with the old club (this was their first year with ENCL) now that it’s been a year, and DS has grown a lot. Still prefer his new coach but the current club doesn’t have the connections with college recruiters that the more established club does—a former teammate is already talking to a college coach as a freshman.
