[quote=Anonymous]i know the subject sounds ridiculous because we're talking about 5-yos playing kiddie soccer, but i'm just trying to understand what the possible factors are that make a team so much better than the rest in KINDERGARTEN! at the end of practice the other day i overheared a player asked the coach if they're going to play team xyz again, and the coach said yes very likley, then the little girl said oh team xyz is so so so good. i don't know how their last match went (new on the team) but the team xyz probably really dominiated to leave such impression on this 5-yo girl. interestingly enough, i also happened to have witnessed how club xyz's 2nd grader team dominated my other child's rec soccer team for the last two years.

so my question is, given that these two rec clubs draw players from two neighboring public schools of very similar student bodies (race, wealth etc.), how come one club is already stronger from the get-go? in other words, how does one club end up with more athletic kids on a team than the others, year after year? of course my experience is very limited but i'm not sure it's just an outlier. most every team gets one to two very fast/strong kids and are mostly evenly matched against each other, except one that gets three or four (that's half of the roster!)? what gives?

again i understand kiddie soccer win/loss mean next to nothing, i am genuinely curious about the gap in 'talent.'[/quote]
