[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to everyone who gave constructive advice! DC is a starter and does play the entire game for a top ECNLR team and does demonstrate most of the attributes mentioned so it sounds like there’s a shot at least. I guess I’ll start reaching out in January to local ECNL clubs to see if DC can attend a practice at least and get an honest opinion of if the talent level is there. Will I this damage our relationship with current club at all?[/quote]

Unless you are in one of those unicorn environments where club leadership actually cares about player development, I think you might damage your relationship with your current club (if they find out).  These are businesses and clubs will likely look at it as losing revenue and talent.  Hopefully this is not the case, but I would beware that doing the best for your kid can often mean doing what is not best for a club.  Thats why I don't care about clubs at all...I'm a paying customer and I don't get attached so that I can make ruthless decisions for my kids.

If your kid is good enough to play at the ECNL level and you are willing to make the money/time commitments necessary, do whatever is necessary to get them there.  [/quote]
