[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s a bait and switch, but then you need to think about development.  If the coach doesn’t think your kid can cut it, why keep them there?  There is no guarantee of playing time, so is your child better off keeping the label of the “top team” and riding the bench, or are they better playing with a lower team, likely as a starter but certainly with more time, where they can develop their skills?  I’d prefer the latter.  No kid enjoys riding the bench.  [/quote]

When the drop off between A and B is large, the kid is probably better off developing on the A team bench. You don't get better if you're practicing and playing with players significantly below you. The advantage to clubs like Bethesda, McLean and Arlington is that there are so many teams that your kid can find their level. At clubs with two teams, kids may be both not good enough for the A team and way better than the B team. If I was OP, I'd get my money back and try to have my kid practice with another club.
