This is the biggest year for players who want to move to the next level. Both in academics and athletics what happens in a player’s junior year can determine where you are going to go after high school.
We are lucky in this area there are 4 teams that have good coaches and teams ranked high enough to get in top tournaments. There are 44 starting spots: 4 goalies and 40 field players available.
Team loyalties, playing with friends, playing close to home are nice ideas but they need to thrown out the window this year. If you are not one of current starting/full game players you need to really think about were you are going to play. Exposure and playing time are key elements when making the decision which team you select.
Depending on the team some starting spots are locked up others there is open competition. Two have new coaches. One has a 2nd year coach. One has a 4th year plus coach.
I would suggest as a player you look around contact the coaches about position, leagues, Tournaments the team will play in. Ask the coach how they can help you gain exposure to college coaches?
It is a very important year. This is the year you have to get a little selfish and play at the club that provides the best chance of you gaining exposure and playing time.
It does not do any good if the college coach comes to your game and you ride the pine. Each team has its pros and cons.
Choose wisely.
