Convenience will matter when you get into high school and have more homework and a different schedule. Do you know the practice times of each club. If club A is a tough drive during rush hour that will be one miserable year

In middle school. I initially encouraged Club B for the reasons you mentioned. However, Club A made him a first-round offer, and the coach made him feel genuinely wanted. Team B only extended a late offer after their first-round candidates declined. So now, we are thinking he would get more playing time with Club A, whatch is also the better team. The only factor in favor of Club B appears to be convenience, which is a big one.

I almost always recommend staying close to home, but having a coach who really wants your kid is pretty important.

I would recommend not doing that. Giving trolls every opportunity to poison the well.

Same situation. My 11 year old said she was going to pick based on what uniforms she likes better 🤣

They were open to Club B before tryouts, but now they want Club A. But I'm the one doing all the driving.

Club B is close to home and usually rated last in their division. But again, same division. Your kid is good enough to play varsity in high school, with an outside chance of playing D3 someday, and they love the sport. Do you suck it up and drive your kid to Club A, or go for the convenience of Club B?
