Hi, new to the area (Aberdeen) and I was looking for suggestions.
We have been seeing a ton of posts about upcoming tryouts. I know I'm probably going to regret asking on a forum, but we don't know many people in the area to ask advice from.
My daughter is 11 years old, been playing since little kickers. She can play multiple positions, but prefers left/center mid. We are looking for an ESTABLISHED club that is very good with development, has a good program for all age groups, and most importantly, is loyal to their players. I'm not interested in clubs where the roster changes every week. I'd like my daughter to have a team where the girls are consistent. (We were told an ever changing roster is a big red flag to stay away from.)
I'm also looking for a very competitive team. We haven't ever played "rec" so our expectations are a set little high. I'd like for my daughter to play with girls with good skill levels, not ball hogs, and understand the meaning of "teamwork". (Our theory is by playing with girls of a certain skill level will only make my daughter a better player.) We are not so much worried about being on the "best" team that wins all their games. We are concerned with her development at this age. We have signed up for some private training classes, so we do things outside of a team. My daughter is dedicated, well mannered, and very committed. Her last team was together for almost 4 years, and only a handful were added.
If you could just possibly give us some names of some local clubs (within 1hr of Aberdeen) and maybe alittle background, it woukd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
