[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid plays GK for a club that is not ECNL.  She gets 100% of every minute of every game throughout the year.   Twice she was offered spots on a nearby ECNL roster.  She would split time 50/50 but offered to rotate time on with the other starter on the 2nd team as well to get extra reps.  Both times the offer was made I turned it down.   
The way I see it she gets all the time she can handle right now with her current club.  They are competitive and play in a good league.   She loves her team.   What more can a different club offer than she is already getting.

Now some of you will argue she should of course play ECNL...
Why?
Shes happy.  No one the team gets more minutes than she does.   For us its the best spot for her.  Obviously her team is a one GK team with a field player as a backup should it ever come to that[/quote]

Parent of D1 female GK here. The minutes and the command of the field are incredibly important. if she wants to play in college, just start filming and reach out and doing ID camps early. And get private skills training on the side. GK is a unique position where IMHO it’s easier to make a case for yourself on a non-ECNL team than for field players. But even when on an ECNL team, GKs need to work hard early to get looks from colleges. [/quote]
