Last option, would be playing EDP with 2010 Boys with her first coach, someone's perspective I trust above all, and he believes if my DD is good enough the ECNL clubs will still be an option 2-3 years from now when it really matters what club you are at from a college id/recruiting stand point. At this age, working on technique daily and challenging yourself with the increased speed and physicality of the boys game will be more impactful for my DD. I really don't know...?

So what is the 2010 Girls soccer landscape shaking out like as the u-12 year is wrapping up?[/quote]

Plenty of good EDP girls teams in this area as well.

And yeah-  no crazy rush to get her on an ECNL team now.  Also, be prepared for her to be a star right now and 2nd team material in a few years. not saying that will happen but too many think talent now means talent forever. [/quote]

I would put her on an excellent EDP girls team first (at least top 2 EDP divisions) if playing with 2010 boys is at a lower level of play, that is (below the top 2 EDP divisions).  There are a couple of girls that play in my boys EDP divisions who are as good or better than some of the boys and would be shoeins for ECNL teams (if they were interested).  At less competitive boy levels, the increased speed and physicality isn't really much of a challenge for more skilled and smart soccer players.  At least that has been our experience with one kid playing up, and that's what you'll read here on this board - playing up is not worth it unless you're playing up on a very good team.  Or applied to your scenario, playing with boys would not be worth it unless it's on a very good team as well.  [/quote]

Any rule against playing on both teams Girls ECNL and Boys EDP? Too much soccer probably but are there any rules against this I wonder...[/quote]

she can be carded in both ECNL and EDP-  no conflicts on those cards[/quote]

True BUT...check the ECNL rules and with your coach/team manager.  I know on the boys side, ECNL only allows a certain number of "discovery players" who can be carded on another team even if it's a USYS team.[/quote]
