[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a daughter in that age group and for some reason she has the impression that MoCo is really toxic so wont try out there.  Maybe she knows someone on the one team that PP mentioned is toxic?  Or maybe her friend is just a complainer?  Not clear to me.  This is probably worth about as much as a bad Yello review so take it for what it is. [/quote]

It is toxic. A few of the coaches are good but most are mid and a few are really bad and foster toxic environments. They are pretty open about who their favorites are on most teams and just tell all many of the other girls who are already on their teams that aside from practices and tournaments during club season, they should pay for private lessons from the owners.

We've played at a number of different clubs. MOCO wasn't toxic for us (especially compared to our earlier club). Never had a coach tell us that they needed to pay for private lessons from the owners -- especially since the owner generally runs clinics and does very few if any private lessons.

That's good, there have been many who've posted in the last few years about having decent seasons with them.  Both things can be true: some families and teams can have a good time and a good experience; and overall there can still be horrible communication with parents, lots of favoritism, and on some teams very bad coaches and/or a toxic environment.  The tough thing is if you haven't played with them before and don't know the coaches when you try out, you've got no way of knowing which experience you're going to have.  No club is perfect, but some are way way better than others and have much better coaches and much better cultures.  And are often a lot harder to get onto as well.[/quote]
