[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may not be similar in all sports, but the rec experience started to become frustrating after one year. Looking back after one club season, I can tell that (most of) the coaches (typically volunteers) were not very effective. Registration was a nightmare: the spots available would be gone pretty quickly. Players with little or no experience would replace those who would stop coming (for various reasons, including missing registration). [b]It was typical to shuffle the teams every two months to balance the talent among the teams (placing all the good players in one team that crushes all the other teams didn't really make sense)[/b]. Only players who were carpooling were guaranteed to stay together. So the coach would start the basic training again offering too little to those with some experience. All these factors resulted in very slow progress. The progress was clearly much better after one year of club.

The bolded is utterly wild and not typical of any rec experience I have ever been in. Yes, there has to be some shuffling in rec or some kids would get stuck with the less effective coaches forever (though that can be balanced out if a rec org offers lots of clinics with solid coaches), but mid-season is insane.[/quote]
