[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]

I know one school where parents were incredibly exclusionary.  We had several players on our team from their school because the parent cliques and spots were jockeyed to win.  It's Rec so this behavior is nutso.  [/quote]
