[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering moving our 2028 daughter from existing club to Warhawks. Looking for better coaching and more opportunities. Any feedback or recommendations based upon personal experiences?[/quote]

Just don't go there with the expectation she will be on the top team. If she is, great, if not, you have to accept she is the player she is. Maybe this will change, maybe it won't. I've known people who assumed their kid would make the top team or be a starter when they move clubs, and then they were upset when their kid didn't. In one case, the parent found a reason to blame the club and moved on again rather then accept their kid is not the player they think they are.

Like any club, there are positives and negatives with Warhawks. I know a few people there who have voiced that it is not perfect. [/quote]

This is our situation. In our case, my DC did make the top team. But they have a long-standing player at her position and they played that kid most of the time at RCCs. Now, that kid is very good. But so is my DD (had multiple offers to play, including D1). So we paid the registration and hotel, etc. for her to be sidelined. Not cool, imo. And no reason was given. The new club was great and great training but it's the same political BS there as every other club. We qualified for NCCs and trying to decide whether to go (do we pay the money and hotel again to not play much? She's already playing in college so why do that?)[/quote]

You absolutely go if your child plans to play in college. If she wants that spot she should keep working hard and do her best to earn it. Consider it’s not just politics and that maybe your daughter doesn’t know the press or formations as well yet. Not sure how long you have been with the new club, but this can take some girls longer than others. Your daughter may be very comfortable in one style of play and the new club does it differently. If it’s been just 1-2 season you should give it more time.

Once the season is over your daughter should ask what she needs to work on to earn more time next season. [/quote]
