How many of you have switched your kids from one Premier level club to another?

Why did you do it?

Thinking of doing it for a few reasons:

1. Club stability. Our current club lost 3 decent players this summer, and looking ahead, they have enough for a team next year, but they did a lot of losing, and the future is murky.

2. Coaching. The other club we're looking at was better managed even though the talent level was nearly the same. So the new club will have better coaching, but perhaps not better training (our club preaches possession, short passes, defense while the new club is hyperaggressive, attack mode).

3. Familiarity. My daughter gets along well with the coach and the other girls on the current team. There is only one pain-in-the-butt parent on our sidelines, but I always stand very far away from him.

So, I see #1 and #2 in favor of the new club, #3 in favor of the current club, and after a couple of weeks of stewing on this, we are still 50/50 on the decision, with tryouts happening tonight and Sunday. In other words, we're running out of time.
