What age is your daughter? Why do you think she's topped out? Is there a chance to play up an age group or two with the girls?

There are a couple of girls that train and play with the boys at my DD's club...

My DD is now U16 and in the past two spring seasons she has trained one day a week with the boys team that is a year below her...her girls team will sometimes scrimmage them as well...

Agree with the poster above - once the kids start to hit puberty, it's a game changer - My DS went from a spindly kid to 6'2", 180# seemily overnight.

Not advisable at all. My girls is a top ECNL player, but would not want her to battle the ball against dudes twice her weight and size. There is a reason why there is woman and men sport. Maybe before puberty, after, you are damaging her.

all the clubs promise this to certain players especially at the new GA/MLSN paired clubs so be aware. Takes coordination from both coaches and is benefiicial additional training but not necessarily embraced by all. Playing in league games is something I have not seen around here in the DMV but I think is coming because their are a lot of promises being made. look for bio banded girls playing down in MLS in years to come until NWL acadamies get serious like Gotham at least

Word? Topped out you say? The troll is strong w this one.

NvA did pitch the girls playing with boys thing. Email them…

Not a club from this area, but Chloe Ricketts played on a good USYS team that won a national championship while she played. So, perhaps finding a club open to it that you even are already familiar with, not a league acronym, is what you should be looking for. A video about it before she became famous:
