[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guess we’ll have to see about the 2006 and 2007s over the next few years instead of speculating based on a pilot year that they didn’t heavily recruit for last year and one that doesn’t even start until fall.

Why is so much emphasis being placed on a non standard age group anyway?   Part of the psychosis of the troll, I imagine. [/quote]

What's all this troll garbage. I thought this whole thing (read between the lines) was to try to get some sort of idea as a parent as to what to do.  I didn't play this nor did my husband.  Based on a few years dealing with our older son we know most of these coaches just blow smoke and it's about money. But I also know I need to get her playing with better players than our small club.  Next year is a big transition year so you acting like the 07 doesn't matter obviously doesn't have a kid that age.  Spirit keeps telling me they will have the players but I see the 06 group and their unfortunate results and I see the GFRSC failing as the feeder club and I ask myself how is that possibly happening.  There are just too many DA/ECNL for the girls how can this be good for the girls. [/quote]

I think to answer your question - even for yourself - is what matters to you in a club.  Make the list objectively and prioritize.  That list may change from year to year, which is ok, but you do need a list.  Then find the club objectively that best matches it.

You can include talent pool, roster size, coach, league/competition the player will face.  I think every year counts.  What counts though varies.  Younger years are developmental, so focus for her on where you think she will get the best development.  Then check back when she approaches recruitment years.

Also, what does she actually want?  What matters to her?  It's worth asking. [/quote]
