[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:19 here - I think it helps that in this area, soccer and sports start VERY early for some - well before kindergarten.  I'm athletic, and physical activity is a priority for me, so I've had my very energetic daughter enrolled in physical activities since she was very young.  Swimming, tumbling, dance, gymnastics, "little olympians", t-ball, soccer, lacrosse, basketball, etc.  She's always done something at least once a week.  So kindergarten rec came pretty naturally to her - she enjoyed it, she was decent at it, and a lot of the other kids were in the same position.  (plus we had a bunch of former soccer players -  one pro - as our volunteer coaching staff.)

[b]When you have a bunch of kids like that who happen to end up on the same team[/b], it can lead to some lopsided wins over teams of kids who have never touched a ball.[/quote]

that's the question - how does a club 'happen to' end up with a bunch of athletic/experienced kids at Kindergarten year after year? it does not seem random at all.[/quote]

My kids are at a school with lots of diversity and a parental base that is focused solely on academics.  Culturally sports is not a thing.  It is a special ialized County school.  A neighborhood over is a traditional school with kids who have parents that all played sports.  It's amazing some of our teams can accomplish what they have given the player pool and commitment.  More often, you have 2 talented kids who can carry the lot only so far.  The school gets crushed a lot and when they do well (both my kids had fantastic coaches and were able to progress to winning almost everything)--it's 99% coaching/teaching and working with whatever strength you can bring out in a kid.[/quote]
