[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious about how exactly your 11 year old daughter became interested in a DA or ECNL team.  One day she just come up to you and said, Hey Dad/Mom, I'd really like to be on either a DA or ECNL team?  I mean it was either or.  You had no hand in this like....I want my daughter to play DA or ECNL and then convinced her to be interested even though she's at the bottom of the roster and will be treated probably like crap but at least you get to walk around saying your daughter is on a DA or ECNL team?  I'm sure it was the first option though.[/quote]

OP here. I definitely had a hand in it. Maybe less for getting able to walk around and humblebrag, although I think it would be cool to be able to do that but more because I think she has potential, loves playing and I think she could compete at those levels, although its hard to tell how she stacks up. She's no messi for sure but in the top 11 in her age group for a team, maybe. Just weighing the situation as I have no idea how these teams manage their rosters. I also have to imagine every kid in DA or ECNL was driven by their parents. Isn't that what we are supposed to do?[/quote]

OP, where does your DD play now?  Her club/teammates/current level of competition may be helpful in indicating how she would fare in terms of roster placement. One thing to beware of is that at least for some of the more established clubs, preference will be given (in making the team and play time initially at least) to players at the club, unless the new person is a Messi.  That's what we saw with my older DD who went to a DA club from elsewhere. It gradually changed, but to be fair to the coaches, they knew some of the players who came up in their club far better than they knew my DD.[/quote]
