Nothing good comes from guesting on other teams. #1 There is always a underlying reason another coach is asking #2 There is no reason to unless you are looking at other options down the road #3 If she kills it the team players, parents and coach will then start asking her to play for them. #4 They all get enough playing time and practice on their own teams #4 Her current team catches wind of this and its never good sideline talk. In other words NOTHING good can ever come out of guesting on other teams outside the club or even within the club!
Just my .2 cents from personal experience.
She is soon to be 12, a 2005 player. I'll respond to this one since it has 5 good points(even if it is two #4's).
1 - The coach that keeper trains her would love to have her on his team. He was open about it. He also knows she loves her current coach and team. He is a good trainer, and has introduced her to a college coach that she was able to work with in group training with older girls. He also wants to see her in game situation so he can tailor his training towards things she needs to work on. He has been using an 06 keeper from one of his other teams for tourneys.
2 - Some games she only gets 5-10 touches as a keeper, so extra experience before league is nice. This will be the start of her 2nd full year at keeper. Also want to see how a big club operates compared to a small club. So many things happen with current clubs that having more knowledge about the club landscape can't be a bad thing.
3 - I hope she kills it. Better to be in high demand. Then again it seems like girl keepers are that way anyways.
4(first one) - She gets a lot of practice time, but being a keeper doesn't always get a lot of game practice.
4(2nd one) - Spoke with current coach already. He always wants the best for all the girls, Probably why we didn't lose a single girl from last year to this year. He understands that she also plays basketball, and that we may miss the occasional practice to that. He also knows we love the team, and that our current team always comes first. He also lets other players guest with us.
Thanks everyone for all your responses. Nice range to them.
