[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And it seems like most of the families are content to pay $3-4k/year to have social soccer. That’s really not what I want to spend that money on. [/quote]
Speaking of the $, if you switched, wouldn't you lose that $ for the club you're already on? [/quote]

PP is talking about moving for next year, so... no.

If your DD is in an age where, next year, they increase team size (e.g. 7v7 going to 9v9 or 9v9 going to 11v11), the roster sizes increase so she may stand a great chance of making a first team at current club or elsewhere.  If the first team coach isn't involved at all with the non first team groups at your club and has a separate tryout for the first team, that might actually be to your DD's benefit. If he can't name all the kids in the pool it means he may not her from eve and therefore not have a much of a preconceived notion of if she's good enough or not.[/quote]

Visit other clubs before the spring tryout season.  That will provide you the feedback you desire.  If she is first team material, then the other club(s) will let you know.  and you will also have your answer if she isn't part of the top line talent.  Hopefully, she will have solid days when visiting the other teams.  [/quote]

This is good advice - thank you. I can handle the feedback if she’s not first team material. At least I’d have a good assessment and could make decisions accordingly. [/quote]
