[quote=Anonymous]Is your daughter born in 2010 or 2011, as a 13 year old now?  I assume you're asking about the 2024-2025 club year?

So your daughter will be joining an ECNL/GA team for their 2nd or 3rd year of 11v11 play.  Are you already living in the area and your daughter has been playing on a lower level club team or moving here from another state?

If you're already here, are you saying your daughter has been getting recruited by ECNL/GA clubs?  If your daughter isn't getting recruited, she probably will have a tough time making it on one of these top level teams.  Coaches pretty much know the local talent landscape if you live less than an hour from the club.

If you're moving here, decide where you're going to live with no consideration about soccer.  Then look at ECNL/GA options 30 - 60 minutes away from home, depending on how far you're willing to drive.  After attending practices with these teams, ask your daughter which one she bonds with the best.  My opinion is don't play on a winning team where she won't enjoy playing.

One thing to consider is that if she plays for a team farther away, the outside, extra trainers will normally be near the club which kids go to.  Do you know the outside trainers close to where you live if you're travelling far for the team?

$5K for a year sounds too low from my experience with my U15 ECNL daughter.  Hope you find a good place for your daughter to enjoy playing.[/quote]
