My daughter is considering a change and we have been trying to figure out the clubs in this area. I have MPS and Stars as options. We moved to the area last year and spent the year traveling to her old team but it is getting old.

She has no interest for the drama of Stars. Is there really only two teams in this area that train out of Lancaster? With so many teams out there it is really getting hard to find who is where. Does the NEFC army of drones have a team in the area?

You shouldn't prejudge anything by what you read on TS.

Sorry U14 but there might be a state cup game for this age group on one of the teams. Renegades is Boston based so it wouldn't of been a option.

Just off the top of my head I can think of SCOR FC, FC United, FC Napoli and Abby Villa who would be close to Leominster.. also, doesn't Delta play/practice somwhere near there?

Next question would be what type of team does your daughter fit in on?

Why would you say "army of drones" if you could be interested in them?

go to maple's website. click on clubs. input 01453 for Leominster. use "20" for mileage radius, since stars is close enough for you. click search, and 9 clubs are listed. this isn't definitive, but at least a start. AC Milan Boston might be the most established of these. It is joining with MPS, which will generate lots of opinions because MPS is a large club. Up to you to judge whether this will affect AC Milan much or not, whether that's good or bad, and whether another alternative is better.

Other ideas: if you have a good relationship with current coach, and know your daughter isn't returning there, ask the coach for ideas. Or, which families on her current team live most in your direction? Ask those families what other clubs they've considered. Any kids at school who play club - your daughter could ask them.

Thanks, we didn't know about that search ability.

Delta is not a option as it seems to be struggling to prevent disolving from what I've witnessed.

I feel the same way but I wanted to be fair when I tried to include every club that's in your area.
Will your daughter be playing U15 in the fall? The different clubs have a wide variety of U14 versus U15 teams in terms of how they did this past spring.
