My 5th daughter just informed us that she wants to try out for a club team. We are new to this and would like recommendations/thought on options in Fairfield county. Interested in thoughts on the CFC B team vs. other A teams. We are considering Everton, Yankee, SoccerViza, CFC. Thank you.

He is a great friend. Drop him like bad advice.......which you will only get on here. I'm informing you about that opinion!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Oh you will get opinions alright. Options include FUSA (Fairfield's decent and lower cost option to premier) Revolution, CFC, Yankee, Everton and Rush. All will be summarily praised and trashed here by those with personal agendas. Ask around.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
What matters is which fits your family's budget, time and is the best fit for your kid. If she is struggling to keep up at tryouts it may not be the best fit. No one gets better never playing (playing time is not guaranteed in premier). Keep in mind many clubs are struggling to fill rosters so be leery of what they tell you. If you can go watch her age group play in a game and watch the skill level and coaching. Game schedules can usually be found on club and league websites.Comment

Friend, I'm going to give you a number. You ask for CT Rush SW. It's what you want. It's what every Fairfield County family wants.Comment

I think the op meant 5th grader, not 5th kid, because the title is U12. Most U12s will be 6th grade next year.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
op - get busy. Offers are going out now at many clubs. if you can get her to some team practices that is much better than waiting for "tryouts." It's a better way for the coach and you to see if there's a fit. Chat up cub parents and ask them questions about the club, coaching etc. First hand information is way better than any comments on TS about specific clubs.Comment

CFC Arsenal (Fairfield County) is light years ahead of the others you mention. Can’t even compare them in terms of coaching, facilities and what is offered. Different branch might be a different story.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
