[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to both of the people who replied.

We are not at the level in terms of skill or interest for one of the far-away clubs. The two clubs in question are MC Elite and Next Level. I don't want to say which my DD is in and which she's considering moving to but welcome feedback on the two, including any perceived difference.

Also, regardless of club, it sounds like so much depends on individual coaches. My DD is good and wants to develop, but has trepidation about being the worst on a good team vs. best on a bad team (not unusual, I know). Unless something really clicks, this is not a girl who will be playing in college. She does want to play on her (public) HS team if possible, though, which we are under the impression it may be.[/quote]

MC Elite is better in terms of skill/talent than Next Level at all age groups. Next Level is okay at the really little ages, but then the majority leave for bigger clubs after a year or 2. Their 27s seem to be a promising squad but haven't had the best results recently (which is not at all saying ignore past results especially in the current climate).

One positive to Next Level is the consistent coaching. MC Elite, from my experience, is spotty unless you were on 22 Midnight or 26 Carolina. Those 2 teams have had consistent coaches. The rest of the teams, not so much. This leads to a revolving door of players. Next Level has okay coaches but they do not play in good tournaments and the coaching ability isn't that great. They are a strong boys club that tacked on a girls side, like MadLax did.

For skill development you need consistency with coaches - ones that will actually show up and spend time developing a practice for the players. I recommend trying out for MC Elite, Next Level, Bethesda, and Rebels and seeing the coaches live and how exactly they work and the overall environment.
