[quote=Anonymous]My kid got sick and tired of losing on her club for U10 and begged me to switch clubs.  I did not and wanted to stick it out one more year at U11.  I was wrong, we just kept on losing and switched for U12.  Best decision ever.

I agree that number #1 priority is for your kid to be as happy as possible but if your team is always losing and your club only has 1 team per age group, it's a hard thing to stay because you have no idea whether your team is developing and typically, you should have more than 1 team so that the right fit for each player can be made.

U13 is when it becomes 11v11 and I really think that's when you want to start developing your game.  Maybe talk to her about what she wants out of soccer.  And consider what you want out of travel soccer.  I didn't mind as much losing as my kid did because but OMG my kid was ready to quit.  But as a parent the time and money commitment I think would have made me not feel that grade if I spent 3 years losing every game :)

Now at U13 on a new club that has quite a few teams in this age group, I realize it was the right decision to put her on a team that was the right level for her.  We are now winning and she is so much happier.  Her game has gotten better as well.[/quote]
