[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice is to go watch two or three prospective teams play. Pay attention to how the coaches and parents act when they're winning and when they're losing. If a team seems like a good fit, email the coach and ask if you can come to a couple of practices. In my opinion, it's only worth going to a big name club if you're offered a spot on the first or second team. Otherwise, find a smaller club that will help your daughter develop. There are always opportunities to move to a bigger club when going from 9v9 to 11v11, etc. ODP is another possibility as she gets older. We have noticed the ECNL/GA clubs tend to recruit the "stars" from smaller clubs instead of pulling kids up from their lower teams.[/quote]

This is absolutely true. If your kids makes the top BSC team there are good reasons to go. If you get a white or worse green offer stay away. [/quote]

Top teams get great exposure at BSC[/quote]

How many of the age group are on the top team?[/quote]

7 v. 7 top teams right now run 10-11 deep. They will go up at u11 for 9 v. 9.

BTW, the poster who mentioned white and green....very outdated. It now goes ECNL 1, ECNL 2, Blue, Orange, Green. Only one age group goes past Blue for girls. [/quote]

10-11 7v7 teams? That’s impressive. Not really surprising to see them having so much success in the league with that many numbers in the younger age groups [/quote]
