Should we make a position switch at the club level now? Club director and coach have left it up to us. Said she will start regardless of what she chooses.

Does it help our hurt to actually place defense if you will be recruited as a defender? She is play middie in high school, mostly because her high school is not a top program.

Coaches love midfielders in general because they can play both sides and are more versatile. I'd stay midfield because she will have more opportunities to make positive impact plays - assists, good clears, CT on the ride, etc.
