[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. like most of you, this is not my first time on this site so I am aware of the nonsense that is shared but I have found some useful information. Seriously, if you have insights on teams, clubs or coaches please share. The rest is not useful. Obviously, I have spoken to parents at clubs where DD is considering playing. I am looking for information about coaches, playing styles, etc. We live in NW but have traveled as far out as Leesburg, Germantown and Alexandria/Braddock for practice so most of the clubs in the DMV are feasible. I[b]t might be helpful to others to hear about all the DMV programs.[/b] [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] How we would all love to be able to answer this question...
take for instance the older girls coach who was selected coach of the year by whatever organization, his successful team had significant recruits last year. I’d wonder how many starters were with that same organization at u13, u14, and even u15. 
Since it appears many players at the older age groups didnt make a move to DA due to college recruiting issues creates an even murkier pool. Are those ECNL coaches just at the right place, right time? 
I get the feeling that the older girls coaching staffs have to be very [b]very good at recruiting[/b]. What does that imply for you?[/quote]

I think that is a fair question. Having seen the coach in question in action (Bethesda Cup), he does a great job of teaching the players how to play the game and other coaches respect his abilities at that level but I don't know how well that coach develops players but maybe his role is different at this stage. [b]This gets back to why I asked for the best coaches at U15 and under and U16 and older.[/b]  [/quote]

If he was selected "Coach of the Year", why are you asking for more nominations?

There are likely very few parents with first person comparison abilities of several coaches at specific age for a specific type of player. Specific team and club dynamics change everything. You should know this. For one kid, a coach can be positively transformative, for another it could be negative. I've yet to see a coach who worked with EVERY player to provide them opportunity to succeed and fail.

The spectrum of best can be defined many ways, and you've provided little to no input. it it results via direct physical playing or by significant possession or skills/capabilities/awareness. Whats your definition? Whats the end goal to define best?

Again, you should know this if you've been to many of the DA/ECNL teams practices to get offers from several of them. [/quote]
