[quote=SDSoccerDad][quote=Runnrmom]There are lots of great options besides these 3 teams. I have found that some of the parents on some of these top teams are not very nice and the attitude of competition at all costs can make the girls not so nice either. Examples include yelling at players who are NOT THEIR GIRLS during games; allowing certain cliques to form; denigrating other players to coaches. I have seen all of this. My strong DD is happier playing up on a different club and gets far more in terms of playing time and development than on any of your named clubs, in a kinder (though still intense) environment. To each their own, of course, but thought I would throw it out there. [/quote]

There are so many options! Its overwhelming once you decide not to just go to your closest driving distance club. Thank you for this helpful feedback and perspective my DS really likes another ECNL club in the area not mentioned that has really courted her and is saying all the right things about developing her as a player and not forcing her to fit into an open position that the team needs filled. There is a saying out in San Diego, that if you're good enough you will end up at SD Surf during the HS years either way. I'm starting to think that may end up being the case for some of these large factory type clubs that have a reputation for hoarding talent. The success is inevitable but is it the best option at this critical development stage for the player? I don't know but its an interesting discussion; I always go back to my DS to make the final decision once I've put all the options in front her.  Good luck to all the players still settling on a club for the upcoming season![/quote]
