[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, most of the advice you'll get on here is biased and unreliable. None of the area clubs have consistent coaching across the club. You really have no choice but to do your own research. Make a list of local clubs within range and go watch them yourself to see what the coach and environment is like in your son's age group and make your selection based on that. Winning and competition level are nowhere near as important at that age as the environment the coach creates. My daughter who plays D1 now was with parent coaches until U11. [/quote]

Definitely agree with this.  I'll add that kick-and-run tends to lead to winning more at younger ages, but its terrible for development.  Go see some practices, get a feel for the team and coach, stay local if you can, prioritize enjoyment of the game. After that, ignore everything you read on DCUM and pick the club that that feels like the best fit for your kid.[/quote]

Then what are you doing here?[/quote]
