Sounds like your team loses alot. Sure, it's about college recruiting in the end, but club performance affects that over time. Better clubs attract better coaching and better players. By practicing in that environment over time, player development improves. It matters.
No it is the opposite. The parents with bench warmers or kid barely hanging on are the ones who are always talking about the club’s 0 whatevers and how good they are, how good this or that player is on our team, how the team won the final but their kid was a non factor, etc. They are just a bunch of jock sniffers. The parents with players never talk about how the club is doing over all.
Here how it works. Big clubs have a big pool. They will have enough athleticism to beat 75% of the other clubs because of pool size. Every so often an age group gets lucky and has 5-6 top player vs 2-3 or a really dominant player in a key position. The coach and club have very little to do with it.
Also most posters here would not know a good coach from a bad coach. The way parents judge how good a coach is is if they select my kid for the top team the coach is great!.
