[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is it better to be on the top team at a smaller club or a 2nd/3rd level team at a bigger one? [/quote]

Depends on age and interest.  At younger age, find a good coach, ideally good parents so good environment , make it easy on yourself driving wise.  Really big clubs things change a lot year to year which is unnecessary for kids and parents.  Ie does a 9 year old really need to deal with being moved and away from friends.

Older ages, depends on your kids goals.  There is a recent thread on this but ECNL 2 at bethesda has good coaches and good college support program that can help if a D3 or simply application boost.  We have friends happy with that outcome.  Not sure equivalent on boys side in MD.  If it’s just for fun supporting high school sport, pick a smaller club or team where your kids is happiest.  Only challenge with that is as high school progresses those team’s rosters can get thin.

There are many opinions on this so just my 2 cents as average soccer parent[/quote]
