[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid will always have more fun playing on a team where he/she is in the top third of the kids on the team. Look for a team where that happens. No he should not be way better than everyone else. But, top third level is about correct for fun and development.

Remember [b]though that 90% of a player's development happens outside of games and formal club practices.[/b]  [/quote]

The bolded is key point for OP.   If your kid wants to "move up" from a lower team to a higher team he/she will have to work harder and practice more than the other kids -- which means spending time on soccer skills outside of team practices, during days or weekends off from games and practice,  during breaks in the season.

My kid moved from the C team at U9-U10 to the B team at U11-U13 and then to the A team at U14 because he wanted to put in the extra time to make it happen.  Kid (not parents) must have promotion to higher team as a goal, and be willing to work at it over a long period of time outside of team practices to make it happen.
