Serious question from a frustrated parent. If your daughter is on a Stars White National team that is consistently under performing do you consider dropping to the high performing Blue Regional Team or just stay put hoping someone sees your kid when they’re playing better teams at showcases? Scorpions not an option location wise.

Stay on national as long as possible unless your player is not getting playing time. FYI your daughter will be dropping to white regionsl
not blue. You don’t get to just choose. White national drops to white regional, Blue regional no allowed to talk to white national there’s a whole blue side / white side respect between coaches. -
ECNL will not allow players to move from White to Blue or vice versa during the season. Same deal with other clubs like PDA, Sting, etc. who have multiple ECNL teams. So that should narrow your consideration. Plus, Scorpions is trash, so be glad you don't live near Taunton.Comment

The situation with the 2011s is temporary. It will be sorted. Look at older years.Comment

Why are you assuming it's 2011? There's no reason for a 2011 to be at all concerned about showcases right now.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Stars White is playing much tougher teams than RL. Just because Stars White loses most of its games and struggles to score a goal doesn't mean they are "underperforming." They are better than RL. Whether your daughter learns to play soccer well on NL or RL depends on her doing the work at practice and outside of practice.Comment

For white national, losing is the goal. No pun intended. White is the pasture where has been blue players go to disappear. There no relegation up and at showcases you will find that some of your games are not on the fields where scouts go. White is an illusion. Pay JD and just understand that your coach could care less how the games end.Comment

Talent gets consolidated in later years so if stays strong, she'll be on the stronger team.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

I know you desperately want that to be true because your daughter didn’t make blue so but the fact is white sends girls to college every year. 10 d1 commits in this years class alone. They aren’t going to florida state/North Carolina from white but to say it’s an illusion is completely false.Originally posted by Guest View Post
scouts are obviously going to their gamesComment

Not true. If your daughter gets dropped from white or blue national she can go to either blue or white regionalOriginally posted by Guest View Post
it happens all the time. Just can’t move in season between white and blue.
The question isn’t real though. Nobody asks to move down unless they are sitting on the bench and in that case they get moved down anyway. This thread was started by a bitter regional parent who thinks their daughter should be on national while and roots against white because they think it proves white made a mistake by cutting herComment

If she can move to Blue R, great. If it's White R then staying on N makes more sense - as long as she's getting good PT. Worry less about the team performance a d ehat, if anything she's getting out of the coaching, level of competition etcComment
