[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it is hard to get an experienced, highly rated coach to take on a B or C team. Why? Because they don't need to. You have to either luck out with an up and coming coach, or a younger guy/girl with playing experience who has the enthusiasm... or a parent who cares because their kid is on the team.

The only alternative is if you are with a larger club like Vienna, Arlington, or somewhere that has its staff coaches balance out their assignments by coaching an A team and a B team at the same time. A lot of coaches want to double up and coach 2 teams at once, some places are ok with them having two A teams and other clubs basically make them rotate between teams.

With Vienna, no coach ever (or rarely) has the same team two years in a row. Other clubs may be the exact opposite.

If you want to have a good B or C coach, you have to look at the larger clubs. Smaller ones just don't have a deep or talented staff beyond the top team coaches.[/quote]

Disagree.  I would avoid Arlington lower teams.  There is no advancement----just the false one when the upper team moves into Pre-academy or academy and parents get excited their kid 'moved up' when they really didn't.  There is much less opportunity and as the kids advance they are playing lesser teams in non-top leagues.   You would be better off putting your kid on a first team at a smaller club if they can make it.
