[quote=Anonymous]I'll dogpile onto this idea. The best thing to do is get your kid onto a team that has better players.  They will get better by being around better players who are more serious and play faster.   2 years ago, DD played the full game of the position she wanted with a club very close to where we live.  But the players were not skilled or very serious.  --My DD literally got worse over the year.  Everyone had low effort and poor passing skills and that transferred to my player.  When we went for tryouts to a regional level team, my DD could barely keep ups with the pace of play.  A former club mate, who was worse than her left a year earlier and she became so much better than my DD. That kid moved from a 3rd team to the 1st team in a year, we stayed 1 extra year and can now barely keep up with 2nd team kids.

Now we see 2nd team kids are chosen to go to much harder 1st team practices and they are getting so much better than the 2nd team kids because they around better/ faster players who are more serious.

My kid was the 3rd team star who could do 40 juggles.  But now, on the 2nd team (different regional club), almost everyone juggles better than her.  Being on the team forces her to get better.

It's all the harder practices that will have a bigger developmental impact verse starting in the position you want playing on the easier team in the easier league.
