One thing about SW that no one can refute is that when compared to all other girls clubs they are far superior in their goalie training program. surprising that the 2029 team has struggled with goalies given the number of goalies who get D1 recruited from that program. Doubt they’ll struggle for long as these players are getting older and their families will begin to look at recruiting stats.
far superior for goalies? I know they've had some nice goalies come through there but so have other clubs, M&D, MD United amongst them. I do think playing on an elite team young is actually bad for goalies. You want the goalie seeing shots, seeing one v one situations. Playing on a top-5 team, how many games is the goalie even involved?
They said superior training programs, not superior goalies. It’s not the 1st time this has come up and I agree. Neighbors older daughter plays goalie for one of the other 2 clubs you mentioned and he always says if he could go back and change anything it would be to not let the middle school rankings hold weight in their club decisions. he’s paid a fortune to get her where she is when he says it would have been free at SW. does the $ put into the training justify the end results for a high ranking middle school team? He says that he would have put her in SW in middle school instead of where they are because the training is the best plus those goalies have the best options with recruits. Also heard similar things about the goalie program at MDU but not sure if they put as much time into training them individually as they do at SW. SW or MDU sounds like the best choice if you’re a goalie serious about playing in college.
