[quote=Anonymous]OP we considered trying to make a midseason move for our 2014 boy but I have decided to just do our research and try to bring him to some practices in the spring. He is not quite in the same situation as your son in terms of being on a lower team and not being able to move up, but rather at a smaller club that probably won’t help him reach his potential if we stay. The fall season went by so quickly and I’m thinking the spring will feel the same way. I think a mid season move is a good idea if a situation is truly toxic or if your kid is truly miserable. But waiting until next year can show your kid that it’s good to finish out a commitment and you won’t burn any bridges leaving at the end of a year. We went to practices for one other club last spring and I think it makes a huge difference in how they see your kid fitting in versus just going to an open tryout. The offer he got from the club where he attended practices was much higher. than a different place where he only went to tryouts. Going to practices also allows your kid to see who their teammates might be and whether he might like playing with them. Spring is probably a better time for that than right now because winter might just be futsal, or some kids not showing up due to other sports.[/quote]
