So what’s the best path for my U11 Girl to be an elite/DA player?  She’s what I think is on a C or D team. I think she’s able to get on a B team but I understand that getting on an A team (DA, etc.) is a completely different league. [/quote]

[b]Extra training, touches, touches, touches[/b]. She is still at an age where she can develop technical skill and that is still the most important thing right away. [b]Play as much and train as much as possible.[/b] Make sure anything extra being done is purposeful but mostly fun and engaging. Don't make it a chore. As she improves and she sees the results on the field a light will turn on. [/quote]

I'm a PP whose DD did exactly what you are asking about -- went from C to B team at U11 from B team to A team at U14 and from A team to ECNL team at U17.  Biggest factor is self motivation. Unless it is a singular goal of your DD to play at the highest levels -- not your goal -- it won't happen.   After the motivations then you need all of the bolded above.   DD was also always the fittest player on every team she played on.[/quote]
