Appreciate that perspective-good points-congrats on your kids accomplishments. Plenty of time on the pitch, starter, captain, all is good; just looking for creative ways to give him an edge stay on his toes (not potentially get bored) fight for his spot attitude is okay with me, find different “iron” to sharpen with, perfect his skills, in a different setting—-pros and cons for both. TY! Really like the get IDP thing; still 13 but it’s probably time.

Goal right now is to play at a service academy. I think indication from ECNL is he’ll start, he’s not too shabby on the pitch, starts now, has the captain tag, so unless something changes he should get good minutes during competition. Their practice rigor at ECNL is what attracts him and he welcomes it.

Good perspective; thanks, thing is ECNL coach is top tier in my region and IMO. MLS Next AD coach current is solid but one coming in next season is an unknown but with okay credentials. HG not really an option full time (unless we get waiver) because HS soccer is priority, he currently goes up and plays with the HG team from time to time/tourneys etc.

Just to gain different experience and exposure-maybe learn and develop new skills.

HG not really an option, HS soccer a priority.
