[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NO decent club and NO decent coach would do that in those years. Only once they go full field. The entire point of u9-u12 is development (many/all positions, constant rotation, development over winning/gaining soccer iQ). —Signed a former coach and D2 college player [/quote] Regardless of what should happen, what OP described is exactly what will happen when you put kids in a competitive system like travel. Clubs care about their reputations and aren’t going to tolerate losing teams for the sake of playing everyone equally because the reputation effect of losing at one level can affect recruiting for other years. If teams do poorly at u9-u11, what are the odds a good player considering switching clubs is going to join when that group gets to u12? If that’s not the environment you want for your kid at this age, don’t put them in travel.[/quote]
