My daughter is 11 and has never played soccer until the other day. She plays basketball and loves it. She is very athletic and quick. Both her mother and I were pretty good athletes, but we never played soccer and don't know much about the game. That is why I am turning here for some help. The other day she was asked if she would like to play in an indoor team because our neighbor's team was shorthanded. After a few minutes she was completely acclimated and wound up dominating the game. I don't know if it was the competition or just her innate ability, but she looked like she had been playing for years. Needless to say she got off the court and she was hooked. She pretty much said she was done with basketball and wanted to play soccer. She even said her coach said she could do great things with soccer that she could never achieve through basketball. I know she is behind, but we are ready to jump head first into the world of club soccer. Which club will give us the best return on investment?

Surely you are joking, but in the off chance you are not...
None will give you a good return on investment. Playing club soccer is like collecting baseball cards - do it only if you enjoy it, because there's no guarantee that there will be ANY return on investment.
Also, if she's just starting soccer, DON'T start with club soccer, start with town soccer and see how she does. If she's absolutely dominant there, then consider trying out at a club.
Lastly, there is a club for everyone who wants to play, so there's no guarantee that she'll be playing on a great team with great players.
Lastly, Talking-Soccer is the worst place you can possibly go for advice on soccer.
But, I think you are just trying to be funnny...Comment

Before you waste any money BTNT take her to over to BTDT's place and let him take a look at her in the backyard. He'll tell you the real deal and give you 20 point inspection and treatment plan (just like JiffyLube does).Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
