[quote=Dcum1300][quote=westsidesoccer][quote=Dcum1300]We have a U10/11 DC that plays at one of the more competitive and successful clubs in the area for their age group. We were wondering what thoughts anyone had regarding staying with the current team next year and playing as a reserve with less playing time vs. playing on a top team for a smaller club and helping to lead that team with unlimited playing time. Practices and tournaments would be less competitive but gaining confidence and playing time are intriguing. [/quote]

If this is a function of his size, and he is a serious player, then go to a smaller club and team with more PT so long as coaches are good and teammates are good and play the right way.  [/quote]

Size isn't the main factor here as they are about average on size. Our DC just isn't quite as fast or aggressive as their very high end teammates. In our opinion still a very good player in their own right with the technical ability and enough athleticism to be one of if not the best player at the smaller club. Smaller club teammates are either not as technical or not as athletic whereas their current teammates are high end at both. Would the increased playing time and role possibly grow their aggressiveness with increased confidence? I guess we are concerned that if they stay in their current role, they will always have that mental hurdle.[/quote]
