[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is true that once the season starts the scores and rosters will be posted for everyone to see.

MU parents should avoid falling into the trap of Spirit parents of blaming the play ups for all that ails them.

I don't think anyone did, until I bought up cutting players, moving some to PT (formerly DP) and dropping some black to their more appropriate age group.  Then one parent - surely the parent of a play up, since a couple have historically patrolled this board - ignored everything else and focused on that.  Which I still think until MU proves itself competitive, it's nonsense to play up some of the remaining players.  However, it's still better than last year.  Smaller rosters, less players (at age or otherwise) being rostered, and more intense practices.

I also think it's nonsense that playing up at MU equals playing at age elsewhere.  The girl who moved to Arlington will have a good experience because she's a goalie and because it's a well run club.  It's a bit far for us, but I think they are well run and run right.  They keep small rosters, they develop their people and they don't just throw them away for the next thing, they way I have heard FCV and BRYC do.

As for those who moved to STJ, all I can say is good luck.  Your DD will need it to get off their bench.[/quote]
