[quote=NOVASoccerCoach][quote=Anonymous]For goalie, better to start on an average team or be backup on ECNL team?[/quote]

Depends on the club, the player, the team and coach and the goalie ahead of you. I would talk to the coach or get someone qualified to evaluate how far off your kid is compared to the ECNL starter. I would also ask your kid what they prefer and if they can cope with being the backup and not starting. If they rather be playing then I would probably go with being a starter on the average team. If someone qualified doesn't think your kid is far off from the first team goalie than I would make sure your kid everyday in training is pushing that first team goalie to the edge, and basically beating out that goalie every week. Goalie is a very objective position, if your kid is making saves in training more than the starter than the coach should make an adjustment, especially if its an ECNL team. Another option is trying out for another club's ECNL team and seeing if you can get another evaluation[/quote]
