[quote=Anonymous]They do appear to have a lot of teams. Without seeing your child play, it’s hard to determine if this is an appropriate team placement. DS had many friends at that age play on 3rd-5th level teams. In some cases there can be talented and focused kids there. He has one friend who worked his way from the bottom team (4th or 5th) at a big club all the way to the top over 3 years. He had a teammate at u10 who was placed on the bottom team at u9 but the following year was promoted to the B team. A few years later he was on the A team.  So i’d like to believe that talented kids who are incorrectly placed are identified. The issue is sometimes it can be a very frustrating experience. At the same time, sometimes these low level teams are created to make the club money and don’t turn anyone away at u9. My nephew is at another big club playing on the 4th team. It actually is the correct level for him and he is having a blast even if parents on this board would say it’s a waste of money.[/quote]
