[quote=Anonymous]I thought like OP with my first kid.  We went down the street to our big Club that everyone brags about on this board. And, that's what everyone else was doing.   Kid made the team.  By the end of first season it was clear it was a big f*cking mistake in every way.  Granted, I'm not so sure with first kid we would have been able to tell just at tryouts what the Club would be like because they all talk a big game.

However, with our next kid we were sure to check out different options and with older sibling playing somewhere else we already knew much more about the landscape and which Clubs are good at developing young kids which don't always happen to be the ones with winning records in the younger years.

I have learned its best to always have something in your back pocket.  Coaches leave, things change constantly in the DMV.

I think its more likely with kids that have older siblings to turn down offers than new players.  It's not the first time at the rodeo and they know much more.
