If they get relegated it may mean her team will be competitively placed for the Fall which isn’t a bad thing.

There is no “u13” level, only mediocre, good and great levels to play on. Playing up makes no sense if it requires sacrificing the quality of the training and competition.

It means that that team will be playing near the bottom of NCSL. Depending on what your kid wants, that’s either a plus or a minus

Helpful - I have been trying to find info on the coach. DD is not a top player but has grown so much over the last 12 months. May be leaving a club with 4 teams for one that has 2 and not sure how to read this.

The current 2010s United team is at the bottom of Division 2 in NCSL and hasn't scored a goal in over a month. Likely getting relegated for the fall.

If your DD is new to travel soccer, this will be a lower level of competition.

What is J like as a coach? I’ve heard very mixed reviews.

that coach is mean. I have seen the coach yell at the team and as a parent- it is really terrible.

If you're talking about the 2010 NPL team, they're solid. Not elite but very competitive with teams just below there. Think they qualified too for WAGS. My DD knows a couple girls on that team - good families too.

Does anyone know anything about the U11 Girls teams at GFR? How are the coaches and how competitive have they been in the past?
