[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's surprising to me that at least some clubs don't have coaches stay with the grade instead of staying with the team. Obviously it's difficult with parent coaches, but it seems it would be good for the kids to play under different coaches every year.[/quote]

That would only work if clubs had standard offensive and defensive sets regardless of age level. Most club just let their coaches do as they please, so switching coaches often means going back to zero.[/quote]

Correct. It also takes time for you to learn what the strength and weakeness of your players are and where there is chemistry and where it needs to be built. [/quote]Ehh, any coach worth their salt can identify that stuff pretty quickly.  The issue with constantly changing coaches is that constant turnover would likely mean to players that it's largely a different team/way of going about it every year.  No connection with coaches as it's short term.  So you'd be much more prone to have player turnover.  i.e. "I'm not going back to the same team/keeping that constant."  Sure, there'd be more teammates that you know in theory by staying, but it wouldn't take much for that to change.  And you're going to be coached by a stranger every year, not just strategy but all of it.

Really the ONLY way it could work out is if you had the "worst" coaches at earlier ages, and every year had progressively "better" coaches that they'd look forward to play for the following year.  Anybody could see there'd be pitfalls to that also.  Getting more/different ideas can be beneficial, but they're going to be getting that anyway with H.S., etc coaches, attending other events, and on and on.[/quote]
