I'm seeking input from parents who have been in the system for many years.
I believe that one or more of the best coaches for my DD will not be returning next year for the U12 season. The most likely replacement is very mediocre, will know for sure in a few weeks.
I don't want to jump from club to club. We've been at the current club going on 3 years.
I'm really at a crossroads. if we did change clubs, who is to say there won't be a reshuffling of coaches next season.
My DDs dream is to play college soccer, I know that's another subject, but wanted to point out that she is very serious, dedicated and isn't playing for the social aspect.
I have read on the boards here that coach X left club X and 6 players went with him. I suppose if a coach changes clubs, I would expect he/she will be at the new club for at least four years. Considering asking to join a few practice sessions at other teams, as I've learned "tryouts" aren't really tryouts and you have to choose one club to tryout due to the same day tryouts issue.
Any 20/20 hindsight perspectives? Really at a crossroads. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
