Objectively BSC has two really good class years. The others years are okay but not as strong. The girls side seems to live off those class years reputation wise. Remember there are other clubs just as good close by. All it takes is one club to blow a year group and the top few girls leave. They join another good club and that year group at that club becomes dominant. It happens all the time.

The older groups have played 4 games so far. It’s a little early to rule them out.

If you do not want to travel and have your daughter play in big showcases in different parts of the country then stay away from DA/ECNL.

meant late june

Not being in the champions league is not so bad. If you can stay below the radar you can avoid a very expensive forced march out west in early June for an unnecessary youth sports tourney.
