[quote=Mdmom22]I don't disagree with the PP but I'm just going to throw my hat in for going to the smaller club, assuming the smaller club is playing in the same or similar league and division as the current club.

We moved our boys to a club where they could play in a more competitive league where the bigger clubs played.  Previously, they both were the best players on their teams playing in a rec-level league.  In their new club, the training is the same but there are more great players.  My superstar child got decent playing time immediately but has gotten even more as he has noticeably improved and benefited from competing against better teammates at practice and against better players in a more competitive league.  While he is not the best player on the team yet, he's not far off.

My average child did not get much playing time at first but he now gets a lot (which is significant as there are a lot of reserves on his team) and has clearly become a player that the team relies on.  He too has noticeably improved.

My point is that both came into the new club confident in their skills and it didn't matter if one was a superstar and the other was average. Both also knew that they were not playing against the best they could at their previous club and I think that knowledge contributed to their willingness to work hard and fight for more playing time.  If that is what you want your son to get out of the smaller club, then I would move him.  [/quote]
