[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back to say DC is in the exact boat we thought they would end up in. Staying on A team of current club is definitely not happening, because DC now has an offer for the A team at another smaller club with seemingly better team dynamics and coaching. There is a big drop off between the A team and B team there. DC also has an offer to start out on B at a big club. The big club moves players up and down based on how they’re developing, but realistically there is a lot of competition for the A team. There is less of a drop off between A and B at the big club, so presumably this competitive environment would push DC a little more than the small club. On the other hand, maybe it’s a little too competitive in terms of all the kids on A essentially competing with each other all the time. We have seen that a bit among the B team players at the current club and it seems it comes with some drama… people talking about who was asked to guest play with A, being asked to guest play multiple times but then not being moved up, etc. I see pros and cons to each.

Thanks for following up with an update!

We're on a competitive B team now, but it comes with some drama and fierce (unhealthy) competition to get ahead and put other players down in order to get on the A team. (players are acting like brats and keep bad mouthing other players to make themselves looks good... Coach has a proper job on their hands to have the girls act like good teammates.) I think that is a good choice to get on another A team at a smaller club.  We will know after tryouts who gets moved up to the A team, and my money is willing to bet it will be more outsiders over current B team players.  If that is the case, we will leave and try for another smaller A team. [/quote]
