I thought for Fall U12, the NCSL division assignments were random (or by Team #, which indicates how long a team has existed - which does some sorting). And then they get placed for real in Spring... (ie Fall can be super easy or extra tough for some teams!) |

True. it is BRYC second team (BRYC Elite Academy U12 Elite ) for the age group. There is 09 U12 ECNL, and this "BRYC Elite Academy U12 Elite " is the previous Blue team. |

No. NCSL does this for the U11, at least for the Girls. I can’t speak for the boys side. |

If I’m not mistaken, this division structure is still in draft format right? The clubs still have to review the structure and agree, correct? |

None of these rankings really matter at this point for this age group.
Many kids by mid season will be seriously looking at where their destination club will be for next year. DA? ECNL? EDP? Most of these teams will be dramatically different this time next year. |

Agree. U13 is the year of change. If parents were smart, they would have been focusing on the best individual player development from U9-U12 and not the most winning Club/team. The shake-ups start in the teen years and a lot of 'stars' quit right before HS because they can't handle being demoted. |

| I guess every club that wins games and tournaments don’t develop kids at all |

First time at the Rodeo? They win with most physically dominant....and then cut kids and heavily recruit in the later years. I have 3 kids that all made top teams in their teens, coming from a small developmental Club. I know many more that were A team standouts in the wee-little years get cut at U13/14. |

It also depends upon the teachability/coachability of a player. A teacher and/or a professor can be teaching the same topic in their classes but you will see kids with varying grades from A’s to F’s. So a coach can teach the same tactic, technique and/or skills to his/her players but some will focus on learning it and practicing it on their own time. These are the ones that shine compared to others. |

No not my first rodeo just because you were at a small club obviously you have to be biased towards your club. Sorry to say but you’re completely wrong, Every small club has the same one liner saying “ We are different we develop” but then turn around on the website and show which tournaments they participated in and won  you don’t think if every club could show medals they would? It’s funny when you see a small club turn big then everyone points the finger right back at them. EVERY CLUB has both good players and bad not every small club develops a superstar same not every big club develops a superstar. Happy to teach you more if you respond.

The small clubs are good best at developing the overlooked kids who would be stuck on a B or C team at a big club and likely receive poor coaching. Those B and C teams win just as few medals. Being at a small club where the coach may likely be of higher quality than the Big club and having more attention can and does develop those players who do come in and displace those "stars" we like to talk about so much who have their fall from grace. Yes, getting caught up in the big clubs team color hierarchy game does little for developing the overlooked. |

IMO, being at a smaller club allows you to play against top teams that you wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity had you stayed on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th team of a larger club. Playing against better teams develops everyone on the team much quicker. |

Once again you try to change the subject a hair but doesn’t matter. Ok I’ll explain as simple as I can.. Small clubs= just starting out or dont have enough recognition to recruit players so they have one team. BUT BUT BUT ..... if they get popular and more kids attend then guess what? They will have a B and C team because who is going to turn away profit? So what are they going to say? Dont worry we will still develop the B and C teams because look at our A team then Wooolah now they are exactly what u describe a medium/big club who argues dont ever develop or whatever. So did we learn something? You said big clubs don't develop its my first rodeo but now you change and say you’re only talking about the B and C teams? of course but the basis was a club who wins medals and games means the club hasn’t developed kids.. |

And when we are talkinga about looking at 100-150 7 and 8 year olds in 1 hour and then sorting them immediately, it becomes even more ridiculous. They set them then. It makes sense a kid that has potential and went somehwere that took the time to nurture it and realize different developmental timelines could achieve much more. Burn out factor becomes lower also when a player feels like a coach and Club is invested in them. Grit is a biggie too. Starting at the top and being told your wonderful for many kids means they don't work as hard as the kid that wants to prove everyone wrong. Again, this does not apply to every player. But, in my house the one kid people were calling 'little Pele' and grew cocky was the one not in the backyard practicing daily...llike the other kids that later surpassed him in talent. When you have been through the process yourself and then have grown kids, you will see how it plays out. There is a lot of wasted energy directed in the wrong way in the early years. |
