[quote=Anonymous]Coach here -

I'm fairly familiar with Alexandria's program and have friends that coach there.

The Blue team shouldn't be doing drills entirely different from the White and Red teams. If they are you need to reach out to the age group coordinator, or the director. If I remember they take that pretty seriously.

Red, White and Blue coaches should be talking to each other fairly often. Do you practice at the same location/day/time?

As far as moving up or down from teams within the club, it's tough. I always tell my players their tryout is the entire year - by the time tryouts comes around I don't need any additional information about them as I've seen them for 9 months. The hard part is judging other players in as little as one session and seeing where they might fit and I'll be the first to say we don't always get it right.

Not sure about Alexandria, but clubs I've been with care about all their teams. Each team provides a foundation for the other. If your club is a non-profit it's run by board members who are likely unpaid volunteers - they don't care about how much money the club makes.

I can tell you first hand that's it's not pretty when any existing team starts to crumble, it has percussions along the entire age group no matter what level it is. That being said the perception is ALWAYS that the bottom teams are getting the shaft.

The only case I believe this is generally true is you don't always get the most QUALIFIED coach. That being said I've seen highly qualified coaches who weren't worth a dime compared to an E licensed coach who knew what he was doing... so don't always judge by what's on paper.[/quote]
