[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter plays for Mustangs and we could not be happier.  Every coach is both an excellent field hockey player and a stand out coach.  The have high standards for the girls but it is almost impossible for me to imagine any of the coaches berating or shouting at any of the girls, something I've definitely heard and seen from some other clubs.  Their overall club philosophy is to develop the girls in a well rounded fashion including performance training, hockey skills, strategy, etc.  Practices are well managed, skills are described and demonstrated in detail, and they course correct both on a team and individual level efficiently.  While they have some girls who are already very strong (as noted, they came from one of the other mentioned clubs here), a big part of their vision seems to be turning girls who aren't superstars into exceptional field hockey player.  That means every player gets access to great coaching talent and the same high expectations.  Our daughter's skills improved by leaps and bounds after just one season with Mustangs where she was languishing at another club.  At the same time, she went from liking field hockey as a casual hobby to loving field hockey.

Not sure where you are located, but there are a decent collection of MoCo girls who play with the team even though there are other clubs that are undoubtedly closer.  [/quote]

Could you tell me how they are or what they do to help with recruiting? [/quote]

All girls on a u16 or u19 team get a sports recruits account. Players can upload videos, list accomplishments, and email college coaches directly through sports recruits. Sports recruits also has some college specific info that players can use to help narrow down the list of schools they are interested in, things like size, degree, location, division etc.

Additionally, coaches are willing to speak with college coaches or be cc’d on emails. [/quote]

This is pretty standard for most clubs in this area.  As far as I’m aware, the only clubs that take it a step further with recruiting are Freedom and Wolves (based on feedback from DD’s friends.)[/quote]

For our daughter coach went over daughters list of colleges she was interested in and provided feedback on what was right level. She emailed coaches, these emails resulted in daughter being placed in top/recruit group for a few of the camps she attended. We are not with the above clubs. [/quote]

This is what we are missing, unfortunately. Even though we've asked, this sort of feedback has not been provided (though I get the impression is has for others). [/quote]
