[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a top player on the team beneath ECNL in a large club with a strong ECNL team. 
She was in the mix for making U14 ECNL (per her coach and at the tryouts she was tried out with the top kids until the very last cuts but they took transfers from other ECNL/DA programs instead of advancing any kids from within). 
Her current coach keeps talking about my daughter's future "when she's playing ECNL"--I've never broached the subject--the coach brings it up.  
Have you seen kids make this jump after U15?  To me it seems as she's running out of time to become a top player. 
(and I know that just making the team means nothing if she'll then ride the bench all season which is the next issue). [/quote]

Yes, but each year it gets harder and harder to catch up with the pace of play the rest are already used to.  My advice is to have her tryout for other area teams, ECNL or DA, depending on what your best options are. [/quote]

+1 Yes of course it is possible to rise to the next level but if you stay put you will have to outwork the ECNL-rostered kids (which means extra training, extra fitness) to improve faster than they will.  [/quote]
