As any parent knows who has a kid in these clubs, there are no good solutions if your kid wants to compete at those levels, so people can talk until they are blue in the face but... the parents don't like it, the girls don't necessarily like it, we all just choose to live with it.

Options are limited.

Outside of starting an independent team (like the poster in this thread) that is more balanced and also highly competitive, we're stuck. People in my area try to start clubs like that, but they get frozen out by the local soccer leagues. Such leagues insist that your club field at least 5 teams before you can join their local premier leagues. And if you do that, then at that point you're a club, not a team.

I do have the option of her joining a less pressure premier club affiliated with Bayern Munich, but they sometimes lose to travel teams, and even worse, they go to tournaments and compete in long distance leagues where they get killed. No thanks.
