[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question was what should OP not do, or do, now. Above answer is right and fair. If you want the best team and best college chances, you have to get there early, whatever it takes. I saw a FIVE YEAR OLD with a private trainer. Yes really. 
My DC is stuck on RL for exactly that reason. She COULD HAVE made NL if we had know all this early on. That’s the PPs point (and mine). [/quote]

Me too. We switched at u13 and there was no way to get on a top team.  That team was packed and the second team is also. If I had to do it over again at u9, I would have switched clubs earlier.[/quote]

I would counter this with my kid switched at U13-- I wanted her to put in the work and continue to do so if she could be noticed at the highest level in tryouts.  Playing ECNL is a huge family AND kid investment. Her putting in the work in learning the fundamentals at U9/10 and then putting in the bonus outside training work, largely on her own, in U11 and U12 showed us she wanted it.  We weren't wrong. She continues to grind and have the drive to play in college, and by all measures seems on the track for that to be possible  [/quote]
