The true answer is that there are too many variables to simply answer. It depends on the health of the situation on either side of the fence and also what level you are trying to achieve.

Switching clubs at this point can be tricky but when choosing any organization- What is the experience level of the coach with College Women’s lax and recruiting? What is the resume of the head coach and coaches? Parent coaches are a bad idea. The old saying steel cuts steel is paramount. You want your player with and against the best and that includes practice. What is the commitment of the coach and the players all season long? What tourneys is the club attending? Does the club have one team in each age group or multiple and the focus of the recruiting can be washed down. How many practices does.the club have? How are the practices?
Do your homework and don’t listen to the lies on this tread. Take a look at the 2022 class and see who did what with their recruits. Some did very little with a lot and some did a lot with very little. There is a butt for every seat but choose wisely. The YJ parents that are leaving for more playing time and attention are smart and have been very careful. Take a look and you will see.


Very true words spoken. If youre on a team with only parent coaches and have to pay for recruiting help it may be time to leave and find a coach who cares. part of a program where other years are falling apart or the club needs to bring new clubs into their buisness to stay alive? not a good sign. Find a club that is doing well consistently, plays your kid, and has knwoledgable coaches as directors.

Any team with a parent head coach or co-head coach would be a concern to me. Zero parent coaches on the bench would be ideal. There are a few with none but you need to do your homework.
Also, a club that has never shown a history of recruiting success is a BiG No.

Aren't all the yellowjacket teams at this age completely parent coaches?
