[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ideally, I’d say go where you’re wanted and you like the coach and teammates more. Your post is very vague though. What age? How far is the drive? Under u12 I’d choose a 15 min drive over 45 min. However, since you mention D3 potential, I assume your son is HS age. Starting at u16, we opted for a club that is far away because it checked all DS’s boxes. We drive 45 min each way on a good day but we have also had 90 min drives due to traffic. It’s exhausting but worth it. I try to look at the positives. I’m getting great quality time with my son that would not be possible without the commute. [/quote]

U14. 30-40 minutes driving, depending on the time of day.  I would have to use our nanny for some driving, as we have a younger kid and DH travels for work.

In your shoes, I might choose the closer club because it sounds like it’s not just an inconvenience but a hardship. Also, he’s still young enough that you can correct course next year if you have regrets.  When my son decided to move to the further club I didn’t have to consider a younger sibling because he’s my youngest. DH does travel for work but just a few times a year and I’m off work in time to drive. In our case, I told DS no when he first suggested trying out there but after looking at his other options I decided to suck it up because this option was clearly his best one minus the commute and I also knew by that stage that he was 100% in on soccer.[/quote]
