And to Mikey, I looked at the coaches at MPSC and BFA and I honestly only know anything about one of them: Shannon Champ with Bridge 91 Gold. She's the Wando High School head coach and it's a team that is consistently nationally ranked and has played in the state championship the last couple of years. She's done some great things with the team there and I would imagine she does just as well with her club girls.

I don't know how competitive either team has been the past year, however, or what kind of tournaments they've been to. If someone else has that info, it would be useful in making a decision. But really, it depends on what the girls want out of the season and where they're looking to take their game.



The information you read regarding coaches for the Bridge FA team was for the 2008-2009 season.......Shannon Champ will be taking over the younger girls' group (U10) in the fall and will not be coaching an older girl's team. I had heard that the majority of her former older girl's team have left the Bridge and moved over to MPSC. The information posted online for MPSC coaches has been updated and is correct. Considering these new changes, I would highly recommend that your friend ask a lot of questions before making their decision. While input and responses might be generated from this forum from others that may or may not be accurate and truthful, I think the best source to go to for their answers would actually be the clubs themselves...........my recommendation is to tell you friend to pick up the phone, call the DOC's from both clubs and ask questions. This would hopefully give your friend more information to make an informed choice and one suitable for their daughter's needs and desires for playing club ball. Good luck!
