Bw rays or bayside

Which one of these clubs are better. Granted there is not a lot of clubs in Rhode Island Which one would be the best fit for a Girl ages U12 to 15.

I had a rating memo ready for you but who cares what I think.

You should have your daughter attend some practice sessions to see where she fits in and feels the most comfortable. After all this is about your daughter having a good time playing at a high level of soccer.

All the clubs would love to see your daughter play so there shouldn't be any charge for attending a couple of practices.

What positions? Have they played club before?

Bayside seems to be more of a boy's program with very few girl's teams. Blackwatch seems to have a decent U14 team but not much else. Rays have strong teams at U12 through U16. Not sure how strong the coaching is at any of thses programs but I would give the Rays a look based on what I've seen from the club.

There are better teams then the Rays for u15 girls.

If she is a very good player look to Stars or Scorpions in Mass. Rhode Island Premier Soccer is terrible. No coaching and too many Premier teams for little talent. if the player is good they play in Mass.

Why don't you stay on the MA forum because people are sick of you cutting RI soccer. Not everyone wants to drive to MA for soccer and there are good coaches and players in RI.

I think I hit a nerve. This is exactly why RI soccer sucks. You don't want to travel an hour to get real premier coaching and competition.

The Stars are an excellent team. And yes they have taken some of the bets talent out of RI. However all the rest are just regular good teams like the ones on RI.

In most age groups the best team in RI would be the 6th or 7th best team in Mass. If they were lucky. The issue in RI (girls soccer) is there are too many premier clubs. RI is not big enough to have 4 or 5 premier teams. It is hard enough to get the 18 best kids in one age group to be able to compete outside RI. Five or six years ago the Rays had a chance to be the dominant club and the leadership blew it. The Rays are the worst run club in RI. And it's all because of the people running it. They (and they know who they are) should have stepped down a long time ago. It's too late now the talent has figured it out and gone elsewhere.
