Hey everyone, I’m trying to find the best place for my daughter and son to play soccer next season. I want to give them the best opportunity to play at the collegiate and (hopefully) professional level. My daughter will be a junior, and my son will be in 7th grade. I only want to join a team that lets my daughter play the 9, and my son currently plays the 6, but I’d like to see him play more of a 7 or 11.
I don’t have a lot of friends in the soccer community, but I definitely feel like I kind of know a lot more than pretty much everyone I’ve ever encountered near a soccer field. I feel like I know what’s best for my player’s development (I coached rec for 3 seasons and only lost 9 games), but clubs aren’t willing to hire me to coach my kids’ teams anymore, even though I have a 4v4 online grassroots certificate and a proven track record of success.
I just don’t know what clubs to trust anymore. I feel very alone in this journey. Parents who I’ve spoken to don’t like how “intense” I am on the sideline, even though I’m sacrificing everything to get my kids into the pros, they don’t seem to share the same enthusiasm as me about this whole thing, and I’m stuck in a loveless marriage.
Thankfully, I found this forum! Judging from all the posts I’ve read so far, this sounds like the perfect place for me! I already feel like I fit right in with all of you :) Anyone want to share what club would be best suited for my kids?
