It's like buying clothes... gotta find the right fit.

Making enough mistakes and learning from them is what they call "experience".

Best advice I can give if you're thinking about having your child play in any sporting "club" is find out what goals of the club are. Clubs are teams that play throughout the year and aren't a church or rec league.

We're on club #3 and this one feels like a good fit (we said that about #2 but my daughter is getting a lot of playing time on #3 and so is the rest of the team so we're pretty happy). We originally switch to team #3, switched back to #2 after a bunch of promises, then went back to #3. #3 coach said he was glad we did that because now my daughter has no doubt where she wants to be. I like this coach.

Most of these clubs don't advertise or recruit openly. Lot of word-of-mouth type info. AAU, USBA, Junior Nationals, USSSL, YBOA, there are many league and teams to play on. You really have to start looking in December to try and find a team for spring.
