I have written a Competitive Club Evaluation form. These are questions that there is not a right or wrong answer to – just what it is. What is the Club like? You will need to decide what is a best most feasible fit for your player and your family. And just like the Seasons of the Sport – we all have different life seasons too! Feel free to share it, print it, and even better email me at soccerparentacademy@gmail.com with anything you would add to this form.
Page 1 are questions you would ask Club Leadership and page 2 is a guide in having conversations with parents you may meet while at tryouts or as a guest at a practice. You will get a bigger picture if you ask newer parents as well as ‘veteran’ parents who have been with the Club for more than 1 year. On page 1 I created the header the way I did in case you are in a large town and are evaluating several Clubs. You may need to print one per player or just write their age and # of and length of practices as well as if they are at a different location than their siblings.
(I will be tackling a Coach Evaluation form too, however, this precedes that one at the beginning as sometimes you think you are getting a fabulous Coach, but the Club is not that great and you are willing to overlook the Club, but chances are that good Coach will move on and you do not want to be stuck with a bad Coach and bad Club.)
