[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the top teams to consider if you live in McLean VA. Seems like top teams are Warhawk’s and Freedom and we can’t commute that far for practices. Husel and Next Level?[/quote]

If you read through this thread, you will find people bash pretty much every club. Find a fit for your kid based on your own experience with the team/coach.

My DD did not like her experience with Next Level’s coach. I’ve watched the Husel coach enough to stay away. However, I have friends at both these clubs and they are happy.

DD has had a good experience with Wolves as a guest and at some clinics. She likes Gloria and the other coaches.

I have friends at Freedom and Warhawks and while they are mostly happy they still have their complaints.

All these clubs have sent players to D1 schools. If you want that for your kid, most of them will be able to get her their if she puts in the time and effort. Don’t get hung up on how many times a teams wins, because as someone else said, coaches sent necessarily looking at that.[/quote]

It really depends what your player is looking for and wants to accomplish. The opportunity for D1 recruitment from Next Level or Husel, or even Wolves, does not come close to that of Freedom or Warhawks. Freedoms is hands down the top team in the area--truly, it's not a question--and I do not have a Freedom player. But it is quite a commute and not worth it if your DD is not strong enough to play on the top outdoor team. Gloria at Wolves is a great coach. Unfortunately, it's true that they just aren't as strong as they once were. Currently Next Level seems to have a pretty strong U16 team, so if DD is a freshman or sophomore and has skills, she may want to look there. Welma is a very knowledgeable coach and excels at building players' skills. She makes some decisions that don't always make sense regarding who she plays on what teams, but she's nice, positive, and, as I said, extremely good. From McLean, that would be my suggestion. It's true that this NoVa Extreme club keeps popping up. But honestly, I have been in field hockey around here for many years and had never heard of them until very recently.[/quote]
