[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep in touch with a friend who has children at Barca.  Seems the year hasn't been going well, with floundering teams in EDP and lots of dissatisfaction amongst the parents in their age group. Also complaints about play-ups who don't actually help in the older age groups in a few cases.  Basically a lot of the complaints we've heard about with other local clubs. Thought this was relevant to post here.[/quote]

Interesting, and it is relevant.  Play ups when that player is average on the play up team never makes sense - even when it pleases the parents.  [/quote]

I thought the whole idea of a play-up was to take a kid that excels in his age group and therefore sees fewer challenges, and play him up so he plays at the level of his teammates. [/quote]

Well, if the playups aren’t actually helping, as quoted is happening, that would imply that said playups are not playing at the higher age group level.  [/quote]

I think the idea is to present the best challenge to each and every player, especially the gifted ones, even if the team does not benefit as a whole. I don't think they are as concerned about team performance as they are developing the players individually. [/quote]

Sounds to me like they are catering to a few parents' egos, based on the feedback from the member there.[/quote]

Thanks for sharing.   As a Barca parent I agree feedback like that is relevant.   Posting someone's negative opinion is no more an "attack" than posting something positive is being "defensive" or a "zealot."

For me,  I don't believe the club is playing politics or catering to parent egos with the play up decisions, and the results aren't all that important to me.   I am very happy with the club and think things are going well.  I know many other parents who share my opinions,  but there are also many others who share your friend's opinions.

Shockingly, even though we have different opinions we all get along just fine on the sidelines.

Imagine what internet discourse would be like if we all tried to type as if we were talking face to face.

Cheers![/quote]
