If you’re a parent of a 9- to 12-year-old soccer player, you’ve probably asked yourself at some point: Should we switch clubs?

In this episode of Path to Play, Valentina and Rory unpack the real signs that it might be time for a change, and when it’s worth sticking it out. We talk about what healthy development might look like at this age, red flags that could damage a kid’s love for the game, and how to keep “fun, confidence, and growth” at the center of your decision.

This is a grounded, experience-based conversation for parents who want their child to stay connected to soccer, enjoy the game, and keep improving without unnecessary pressure.
