[quote=dohickey1234][quote=GKmom]We have seen this often. At u9, our coach covered 2 teams. It was ok for practices and some games but if there was a conflict he always went with the A team. At u14, DC had a coach who did this but he seemed to do a better job splitting time between A and B and they avoided having both teams scheduled for tournaments in the same weekends. At u15, we are once again in the same boat but at a different club. This time around the coach has 2 teams in my son’s age group and 1 younger team. He seems absolutely exhausted but he works hard to never shortchange any team. What I have liked is it allows kids to move up if they are showing improvement.  What I dislike is that the teams often practice together and the needs of the A team can be different from the B team. When my son was on the B team it seemed to raise the level. When he’s been on the A team, it does the opposite. [/quote]

Thank you for this insight.  This is exactly what I think could happen.  Practices will be all together, but if there is conflict with the game schedule, my assumption is that the coach would choose the older team because they have been with that team longer (so I consider it the A team vs the B team).  Not sure who would fill in for B team.  It's something I think about when choosing a team for next year.  Thanks for your response.[/quote]
