[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So. If I had to do it all over, I’d likely have my kid play Barca at the pee wee to early middle school ages then switch over to more established competitive DA/ECNL club. Provide a solid fundamental base before going to clubs with more visibility, competitive leagues, and athletes. My kid does well (ECNL) but did miss out on some early 3rd party coaching (i.e no parent dynamics) of proper techniques, spacing and ball movement that would be second nature if ingrained by coaches early on. She’s catching up and still does great but could be closer to her potential I think if the better base had been established. [/quote]

It's not too late. This winter get her in a good futsal program like DC or NPC or get her on some indoor teams and get her playing in small spaces where ball control is mandatory. She'll have fun and the fundamentals you say she's lacking will come along tremendously. Most DA/ECNL coaches see themselves as the end not a means to an end, the progress they make playing on those teams is minimal unless they're doing something else outside, it won't be hard to rocket past the rest. Can also be helpful to find a good trainer and get together a small group of about 4 players of similar level for some outside small group training. Individual training is great but a group of 4 gives you so many more options for progression it's better.[/quote]
