[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Let me illiterate. My DD will soon be 10. She’s being approached to go to to ECNL CLUBS, what I guess is pre-ECNL. I feel it’s important to work hard and follow any dream. Dreams change and that’s ok. Best thing is to give them the tools and let them grow.

I do think it’s important not to be a “club hopper” and make bonds with teammates and coaches. I personally played a D1 sport, but never had to deal with ECNL, GA and so on. Times have changed.

Found out tonight the coach was an ECNL coach, and is well licensed.(not that makes a difference) He has relationships with college coaches. One parent has said he is a great coach and has done a lot for his older DD.

Is this doable. Can 1 coach start a team, make it his super team in hopes to start a non bias soccer club that focuses on player’s growth and ambitions? Has anyone experience or seen it happen?[/quote]

She’s so young that what’s really important is that she’s in an environment that is challenging, fun, and rewarding.  Maybe he can provide that, but words are just words.  If you just listen to proposals and don’t actually get to let her experience what this next step might actually feel like to her, you could end up putting her into a position that will make her no longer enjoy what she’s doing.

See if this coach will let her come and train with one of his current teams if he’s currently coaching players her age or near her age.  That way she can feel the environment out and how he runs his sessions.  You can then also talk to parents on his team and their experiences.
