[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on age.  If your DC is younger, perhaps growing with the lower ranked club.  Since it is same division and lower ranked, maybe your kid has more playing time too.  Close drive is a major plus.

If your kid is older (which I think you were implying is in high school), maybe Club A. [/quote]

In middle school.  I initially encouraged Club B for the reasons you mentioned. However, Club A made him a first-round offer, and the coach made him feel genuinely wanted. Team B only extended a late offer after their first-round candidates declined.  So now, we are thinking he would get more playing time with Club A, whatch is also the better team.  The only  factor in favor of Club B appears to be convenience, which is a big one. [/quote]

I don’t think you should feel slighted by a second-round offer.  Nor should you feel more honored by a first-round offer.  From an outsider’s POV, I can only guess that’s due to availability.

Convenience is a big factor indeed.  Those additional 15-20 minutes (you didn’t mention how far) adds up to additional 30-40 minutes round-trip.  When your DC is looking at recruitment, maybe that’s the time when it’s definitely valuable to be on a winning team.  Being on a weaker team may mean much more playing time which is crucial for development.  [/quote]
