[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my son plays on a travel team for a club that doesn't have an established HS program, but focuses on youth aged teams.  his current grade team is probably better than the same aged teams at the clubs that heavily focus on college recruiting (we'll see if that's the case over the upcoming spring season).  my question is, what grade should we consider switching him over to a club that focuses on college recruiting if that's a possibility for him in the future?[/quote]

He probably should attend tryouts this fall.  At a minimum, he should be trying out for a different club before he enters HS.  If he waits until later, there are usually very few spots in play.  If we are talking about a 5th grader, there is no rush.  But if he is entering MS or already in MS, he should be thinking about it right now.  Which club are we talking about?  If it's a club that doesn't have a great reputation in the HS ranks, there's very little chance they will get critical mass in the next 2 years.  He should be planning a move now.

For the established clubs like Madlax and VLC, it gets harder to break in as they get older.  Many of those kids have played together for multiple years, and they are going to stick with the known quantity if they view two kids as the same.[/quote]
