Considering a club change? Questions to ask yourself when exploring a Club:

• Club Culture - Is the club family-oriented or focused only on soccer and success? What does success look like to them?
• Club Philosophy - What do they stand for and does it align with what you're looking for? More importantly, do you see that put into action?
• Coaches - How much Coaching experience does the coaching staff have? From where?
• Coach / Player Relationship - How interested is the Coach in your player? What's their relationship with other players? Does the Coach know more about the player off the field vs on the field?
• Communication - In speaking with current club members, what is the level of communication between the Club and parents, and how important is that to you?
• Location - Are practices within a reasonable travel distance? Decide how long you are willing to travel weekly for practice.
• Player Commitment / Travel Expectations - Most clubs practice 2-3 days per week with a game on the weekend. Depending on the League, some games can be out of state.
• Player Goals - What are you and your player looking for in a club? Individual player development? Winning at all costs?
• Player Resources - Does the club offer other resources or opportunities for your players to help develop them?
• Reputation - How do players and coaches conduct themselves during games? This behavior is a reflection of the club and how they handle themselves.
